Prevent Medal Droppers

[bccan]

In the past 24 hours I’ve been hit up 13 times of someone just placing a troop or two and retreating, giving me 245 medals that I should not have. This happens regularly with my main account.

Meanwhile my account on my other device is similar in all other means, but it is rarely attacked.

I’m not sure what the algorithm that determines who is selected as an opponent, but if certain accounts are being attacked more frequently, it would be great to limit the number of defences within a certain period of time, or perhaps for medal droppers, make it so if they loose a certain number of battles by deploying less than a certain percent, it does not count.

So what’s wrong with free crowns?

They only deploy one guy, so there are no free crowns

I wouldn’t mind so much if it is a proper attack, but leaving one or two guys, maybe springing a trap or two, using up my trap blessing, is just rude!

The fact that traps are triggered and the Blessing is spent is, of course, very sad! Perhaps it would be worth rearranging the traps so they don't go off so quickly? You yourself "catch guys at the entrance".

Otherwise, I don’t see anything reprehensible in such attacks. And it’s certainly not worth banning such attacks.

P.S. Perhaps the best solution would be to increase the threshold for using the Blessing of Traps so that it is used like the others - when causing more than 10% destruction to your city (base). But then you will definitely be left without those traps that have already worked. Paradox.

P.P.S. As we know, in war all means are good, and here in the game it is also possible to simply “robbery of resources” without entering into a full-fledged battle, or other variant, as you call it “dropping medals”. If you suffer losses in vain (losses the Blessing), then change the strategy of setting traps.

Thanks for the advice Sega,

Unless there is a trap hiding, the traps are all behind walls.

I think I got a bit side tracked as I have been attacked 17 times in the past 24 hours. I’ve just placed my third trap blessing today.

I think the real issue is why is it my main account get hit so often, while my other one has not had a medal drop in a week, last attack 3 days ago, the other 10 people in my alliance rarely gets attacked or medal dropped.

I don’t care if I get attacked as it helps me make a better layout, but it seems weird it’s just the one account in the entire alliance.

Is it normal to have over 12 defences in 24 hours?

Hard to tell. Sometimes several per hour, and sometimes not a single one per day. Anything can happen. This means that in some way your city is attractive for this kind of attack or attacks in general.

By the way, take these attacks on you positively - firstly, you test your defense, and secondly, you have the opportunity to attack in response (“revenge”), but with a clear advantage - you can more carefully study the enemy’s city before will attack him ( hint: in the battle list, you can click on the enemy’s name and select “visit”).

What level of medals is your main acc vs your alt? I've found that at some medal ranges I get attacked more often.

I am one of those medal droppers. I try to stay below 400 medals, and in doing so I get many easy higher-age bases to loot, with a huge Domination bonus. I try to at least deploy my troop far from any potential traps, and if I see that a certain base keeps popping up, I skip it.

Gives you opportunities for revenge since the players want to attack your base, even for medal drop.
