the holiday thing is really stupid people can use it wrongly to a way to avoid being attacked and such if you want to make sure its used the way it should be why dont you make a truce agreement 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 120 hours, 148 hours, and 172 hours that u hafta get from the shop and once one of them is applied you can litterally do nothing with your account at all til its time has run out all you can do is stare at ur city this way its really for if your on holiday
Holiday mode is a nice thing if you really hjave stuff goin on or just want a break - but it sure is stupid if you hide in there and talk shizz from an alt celebrating yourself and claim none can take you out...
there are times where it would really not fit if i get hit then - and if i get hit then i might add the truce... depends really on the situation but every single of my cities is ready to defend at any time. I dont have to truce 'to get ready for the fight in 12h' i am aware of the fact of playing a wargame.
If i have to use truce to get ready for the upcoming fight in 12h that means i am a horrible player and nothing else.
if you have family to take care of and get cought at wrong time i wont blame my red to holiday or truce - its a game and rl is more important.
But i cant stand those that tell others 'hey guys i have to holiday my account due to real life but i will be arround on this account if anyone needs me...' - how is that possible even?
ohh just came to my mind! there might be a way to stop people from goin in holiday if you wanna attack them... will see if i can manage that next time ...

Ive been in holiday on my server for 3 months. Im not killing my server, im just trying to survive. If it wasnt for holiday id have quit
Im not doing it to run or to hide, im doing it purely as i cant survive on my server with the way it is. My troops demand to much time and attention. Holiday is not always a bad thing.
Those who do it just for 24 hrs to stop getting hit, now thats a joke
Defense against holiday hiders?
Capture an npc 10 (or several) around the city that holiday'd.
Transfer to someone who can stay there and make that area as a main base.
Move on and kill elsewhere.
Now when the coward gets out of holiday, he'll have a nice pretty red city 1 mile from him.

holiday on me all you want...
I've attacked 9 different players in the last 7 days.. 4 of which holidayed.. but only 2 BEFORE i slapped them silly...
I have more respect for them than the other 2 punks who holidayed to avoid a beating...
HOWEVER, it doesnt work that way in my world... im in holiday sitting right next to them.. i got nothing but time ;-)
you can run, you CANT hide, and you CANT stop the beating you will be receiving.. you are just delaying the inevitable
Why we not change the gameplay and send a mail to the possible target:
'hey i think i am goin to hit you in 12h. Will that work with you or you want me to come at a different time?'
something like that...
i remember in the past it was part of the game to analize your target to find out best time to attack - and i am 99% sure sure that people would consider the time as perfect when the target was offline (1% cause the way people act in forums about gettin caught offline and how much that stinks if an attack is hitting an offline dude makes...)
i am also remember a time where it was an important part to reinf your member when you see he gets hit to protect / help him ...
By the way most people argue you get the feeling its even against the rules to hit an offline player.. ( i am awere of the fact that its not)
again if i have no time i holdiay and i am not arround in game at all - and not just figure its a bit stress as soon as the red shows up.
my account was in holiday for 3 month! due to no time - and i havent been in game at all in that time - cause i was bussy...
most of the people get extremly busy right when it gets a bit uncomfortable...
Its so fuuny when people tell me they at work and cant defend right now - well quitt your your job and play evony or quitt evony and do your job
If you you still wanna play then take the fact that it always been part of the game to get taken out and lose your city now and then...
i tend to agree that attitudes need to change a bit,it is ok to lose a city now and then or get 0`d.It is not a personal affront to your superiority.you just pick up the pieces and start again in 2 weeks all is back to normal.
It is a very recent trend to get busy in RL when things get uncomfortable.
Same as quitting if your precious account gets 0`d.Its ridiculous.
it was the ebb and flow ,good and bad that makes the game exciting not the constant avoidance of ever getting hit/and protect at all costs attitude that is sweeping the servers.
at one time castles regularily changed hands,nowadays it is very uncommon to see a legit takedown.(Because of account sharing/speech texts and defence bots)
the only castles you see change hands are given away.
i know - in most cases i dont even hit people with no walls and troops - i just dont get the part why a player has a city full with troops and full walls is trucing right after he got scout to get ready in the next 12h... cause 12h later i have other stuff to do ... thats why i ported right then and not 12h later...
