Thread: Holiday mode... does it do anything?

  1. #1

    Default Holiday mode... does it do anything?

    I hate trucing, and I'm not one to run from a fight, but I have a genuine need to go into holiday mode. Yet I hear rumours that my HCs will not be protected if I do.

    Devs? Can I get a definitive answer on this please? I have a 15 hour drive to make and if I pay for holiday mode, will I lose my cities anyway?

    In AgeII, HCs are not protected while you are in Holiday Mode.

    so it serves no purpose at all... I almost paid for the privilege of leaving my cities undefended.

    And there is nothing I can do?

    You can give your HCs to friends to hold and then holiday to protect your normal cities but other than that no there isn't anything you can do.

    So you can save your account from being attacked if you really need to. HCs aren't saved from attacks in Holiday Mode because players were using it as a way to get away from attacks on their HC(s). Evony having it set like that is a way to make HC battles fair. If you were going after an HC and someone decided to holiday, I'm sure you wouldn't be fond of it.

    I suppose I can see that point...

    I've been under constant attack for over two weeks by a large portion of the second ranked alliance, and held them off. But now I have this trip to make lol

    So holiday won't protect me while on holiday, even though I would be willing to pay for it. Lovely.

    Your suggestions are good... I will give the HCs to ppl who can make good use of em. They are rather pretty... too pretty to npc.

    One last newbie question about holiday mode... I have a single, lonely little HH. If I have him in one of my regular cities, and apply holiday mode, will he be protected? Or is there some loophole that'll mean he is at risk as well?

    Your HH will be fine because it's in one of your normal cities. If you put your HH in your HC and then went into holiday, you'd have a problem.

    while i agree about HC's not being able to be put in hol mode to stop people abusing this option by keeping hold of them, i do believe that maybe it should be looked at again and maybe have a separate higher hol mode price for HC's so when people do go on holiday they can protect their cities. the price would have to be quite a bit more than a normal hol mode to prevent the abuse that was mentioned before.
