We just encountered the same problem.
We had a reinforcement window of 7:00 - 8:00, battle was at 7:10, we were out by 7:45ish after winning.. Between 7:45 - 7:55 i was trying to change the timer, but it wouldnt let me, we got attacked again by the attacker in that time period too.. so i thought maybe after 8:00 i'd be able to change the timer.. tried again and couldn't.
So if you dont beat your attackers placement of a follow up attack.. even if you won, you can't change the timer.
Can i please suggest the following:
- The defender has 1 hour from the start of the battle to adjust their timers if they win (Would it be fair evey if they lose? not sure).
- The attacker cannot place another attack within the first hour from the start of the battle
- The attacker then has a 30 minute to 1 hour window to place a follow up attack 'after' that first hour has passed.
- Once the attackers followup window expires, then the district is open to attacks from anyone.
I believe this structure would help corps maintain their district within a narrow window, also allow attackers time to decide if they want to attack again and secure clone transfers to do so, and then also free the district up to attack from anyone with a very generous window.
I should hope this would take minimal adjustments as the code you seem to have already seems to be able to provide time windows with restrictions. So i'm hoping it's a feasible and workable suggestion. If anyone has any critisism on it and can think of ways to tweak it so it's balanced / fairer, or a different method alltogether, then i think that information would be useful for the dev's to consider.
Cheers. |

Yep just reread it sorry, misinterpretted it, obviously just scanned over it and didnt read it properly. Appologies.
So it seems that the way it should be working is that you can only reset your timers 1 hour after the initiation of the battle... but if the attacker places their attack before the end of that hour.. which is also their window for doing so.. then you can't change your timers.
Which effectively means the only situatuion you can change your timers is if the attacker doesn't place a follow up attack, then as soon as that hour has expired, you become online again and can then set the timers..
If that's the case then.. ouch. :) Very narrow window for changing timers. |
