Stronghold defenses

Patton713, on Sep 19 2014 - 07:47, said: Hello everyone,   I have a few questions about the changes coming to the stronghold mode in the coming patch(es).   1.  They say that once you level your command center to level 5, you must set a 1 hour block to defend your stronghold from other clans that will be attacking.  Can it be 8:30 to 9:30 EST or does it have to be just hourly, like 8-9.  At the moment, we are testing an hourly system on the Stronghold Raids Common Test.   2.  Are the maps random or does the defender get a chosen one to make his base on?  IE, always defending on Ensk or something Maps are random.   3.  How many defenses do we do per night? Depends on how many zones you have open and how many other Clans are attacking you during your defense period.  Each zone (the little roads depicted on the Stronghold screen) provides another avenue of attack which potentially balances out the fact that your Clan can develop additional buildings on the additional zones.   4.  How is it determined which tier and how many players for each defense? Tier X is the current maximum for a defense in a 15v15 battle.   5. If we do not level our command center past level 4, can we still attack other clan's strongholds? No, but you are also safe from raids.   Thanks,   Patton

Because 8% increased credit is really quite nothing... and 16% free xp based on 5% of your unbuffed game xp is even less.   I vote for it to be based on the level... if you bring it to level 6, you defend with tier 6, if you bring it to level 10, then you defend with tier 10. I think that would be much more fair and enable everyone to level up to their speed. Only the number of tanks need to be addressed but thats easily done too.   Since those match aren't based on a MM, they should be quite easy to plan. You can only attack a Clan with a level as high or higher to yours!   That would make it fun for everyone!   ps: I know it wont happen... WG doesn't care much about our ideas... (or they cant read it since its english)
