Please change the rules in a war for shields
Please make changes to wars on how long you can be under a shield. We lost two wars because the teams stayed under shield the few hours. It ruins the competition when a team can just hide under a shi...

Hi Meesfeet,
The conversation was beginning to get a little too personal and It was time to step in with a little attempt at humor. It is very unlikely you’ll hear me call anyone an idiot...that term is often used by folks that have lost a debate and have nowhere to turn...I sort of consider it a badge of honor. You will hear me use the terms ignorant and stupid...which probably translates differently from English and certainly from Southern dialect. Folks from not around here sometimes mistakenly assume they mean the same thing...but that’s not correct. Ignorant simply is you don’t know no better but there’s still hope for you - stupid is when you know better and do it anyway. Most everyone knows that us Southern boys (also affectionately known as rednecks) last words are often “Hey watch this”...what they probably don’t know it’s preceded by “Bubba, hold my beer for me..” Meaning of words especially in English carry an awful lot of different meanings and sometimes it can get confusing and easily misunderstood.
As an example the term “strategy” in this case means a feeble attempt to cover a mistake and a weak justification of why one chooses to hide.
By the way, we have never lost to a bubble team, have won 90% of our contests and have never hid...just isn’t in our DNA and yes we’re playing level 4 as well. Take Care.
Thanks PinnacleValley, understand and agreeing.
Just another little focus on another possible point of view (not shared by me, but when I analize something I use to search for every possible point of view, ad a devil's attorney): SimCity isn't born as a war game. I'm 45 years old, I've played almost every version of SC, since the 2D first release, and SCB is the only one with wars, even if SCB top weren't born as a war game.
So, many players doesn't play it as a war game, using wars only to complete COM missions. IMO, leaving war missions from COM would almost resolve the turtle clubs problem.
Best regards

Hi meesfeet,
Thanks, just to clarify I still don’t agree with the “strategy” to hide to win...
Roughly 20 years ago my 6 year old son started playing SimCity with his 8 year old buddy and trying to be a good Dad I would sit down with him after supper and he would “teach me the game” and I found that he was learning about economics, resource planning, decision making, budgeting, etc. and was having fun (of course we didn’t let him sit behind the computer all day) and I guess that was part of the appeal. He probably played until he was about 9 when he found other games were more fun... What I was most impressed with in the Maxis game it was developed to be very simple or very complex contingent to how you approached it.
I started playing SCBI when It was released it and found it to be a some what watered down version (but completely understandable) and was here when COM was introduced, the start of the mayor’s clubs and the war games which caused an uproar and quite honestly a drastic increase in cheating and shortcuts. I agree with you and even stated in the forum it was highly unfair to include war game assignments in COM. I do appreciate your optimism that this simple change would address the turtle strategy and for some it will (Hi Bethann 🙂 ) but for too many more It doesn’t matter.
Take care.
- Hi PinnacleValley
I already knew you don't agree with that strategy, as I watch this forum at least once daily, even if I'm not writing a lot.
What I'd like to clarify is that I'm not for that strategy too. At least not when abused, staying domed for hours and hours. With my club, sometimes we decided to stay bubbled 2-3 hours near the end and then get out together for a mass-attack, but I think that's not enough to call us a turtle club.
That said, I just don't share insulting people for using a legit strategy I don't like. IMO cheaters are a problem way more worst than turtles.
Take care!
