Club wars - Feedback

Your post is right after mine. I did not once complain about having cities destroyed and I have seen VERY few complaints about having cities destroyed. In fact, most of the comments I have seen in that regard are in the opposite direction. Not being able to get your cities destroyed. You completely missed the point(s).

I've read this topic from page 1.  Many people are complaining about not wanting to play a war game.  They chose SimCity BuildIt because it is a peaceful game about building.  Those are the people I was addressing.  Sorry that the website gives the impression I was replying to you - if you feel my comments don't apply to you, it's because they don't.

I'm sorry, but Club Wars is not an optional feature. I just finished a contest where 15 of the challenges were war-related, and many of those were imposed on me during peacetime. If you want to compete in a contest and have a shot at winning, then you are force to participate in Club Wars.

I had 15 war-related challenges in this last contest, many of them imposed on me when my team was not at war and it was impossible to complete them.

I don't have a philosophical objection to Club Wars like the others, but I wouldn't mind seeing it go away. Like others in this thread, I experienced major delays in the game since this feature was introduced. If you're going to have wars, why bother with a cooling-off peacetime? We can't complete war-related challenges during peacetime. If you insist on having a peacetime, what is the point in restricting us from collecting war supplies? Plus, war supplies are affecting my storage capacity, so either put them in a separate storage facility like Omega items or make it easier to expand storage capacity. 

In the words of The Boss, Bruce Springsteen:

"War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"

(yes, I know it was a cover, but his version was best)

@ModernThinker unfortunately i'm the president if my club, i started the club for myself and a small group of friends that want to trade but refuse to use facebook so starting a club was the only other way to link cities........ on another note i'm only lvl 47, CoM lvl 19 and 1.4M population anyway

While I’m enjoying the debut of this new feature, matchmaking is woefully under designed. In our first outing, we outnumbered our opponent almost 2 to 1. It was no contest. In our second outing, while slightly outnumbered, all of our opponents were 500k pop or lower ( most significantly lower ) while we average around 2 million/member. Another slaughter.

it seems to me that total club population might be a much higher criteria for your opposition selection algorithm.

Thanks Los-style for your reply. 

I guess if we were all the same then that would make life boring.

from my point of view I play games that sometimes my 6 year old son looks over my shoulder.

if you want to wage war then there are plenty of other games for you to play.

I think that SimCity has the potential to be "something else". 

For example, with a bit of thought, the game could give "tickles" to other clubs. It would not destroy their buildings but give them bonus points. The whole thing does not need to be so aggressive.

love.

I fully agree. Something should be built in to allow the player to leave the club if he/she doesn’t want to take part in the war. If someone decides to play the war scenario, the other players are trapped in the club against their will. They have become prisoners of war!!

Keep the war feature if you want but provide an escape hatch for those who don’t want to participate. Make LOVE not WAR!

"if you want to wage war then there are plenty of other games for you to play."
Likewise, if you don't want to wage war then there are plenty of other games for you to play.

I'm glad you spend your bonding time with your 6 year old son playing SCB.
But were you implying that Rubber Duckies, Plungers, Fans, Anvil's and Gasoline are age inappropriate for a six year old?

'Tickles' to other clubs. Really. Yeah nah.
