I am on a team that is incredibly good at opening big lead in the first hour. It's a very good strategy to use and it contributes to many wins. With that said, if we get too far ahead we put our Discord information in our city description and ask for open war. Open war is fun and it gets you and them a lot of war goodies and possibly bigger and better chest. Most teams in the L5 know this, but some do not know, or some just don't want to play. It requires a lot of trust on both sides. You cannot use freezes, duds, umbrellas and you can JP yourself and rebuild when the hit you so that you have an "open" JP running until it expires time, and they can hit you as much as they want to and you can just keep rebuilding and collecting war items. Same works on the other side, we JP them, or they JP themselves, and if they keep rebuilding we keep hitting so they can collect items for next war and get chests. It's a win win for both teams and it keeps the war interesting and fun. Hope that helps you.
