This needs to be addressed, getting tired of teams staying under shield for hours when leading, we’ve lost a few wars because of this bug in the game.
Suggestion teams start losing points depending the length they under shield specially in the last few hours.

Hi PinnacleValley,
You're right, something of what I wrote on that thread should have been removed by Darko. But If you remember what HopeUGotKevlar wrote, after my first post he became very, very offensive with me, so I tried answering him without overtaking the limit, and somehow I still think I didn't. At the end it hasn't been a nice show, for both.
I don't need a PM to trust you, as I said before I have a big opinion about you and I'm old enough to understand, there's no explanation needed🙂
BTW, I use to read this forum everyday since 2 years ago (not writing so much, doing it only if I got something not useless to say), before wars were added to the game, reading every new thread or post, that's why I think 200 is an exaggerated but reasonable number (not to count same mayors expressing their opinion in different posts). But even if it would be 500, that percentage wouldn't change a lot, from 0,015% to 0,037%! 1000? 0,07%!! 😉
(FYI, I used the equation signed accounts/100=complainers/x to find the percentage, named x)
Don't want to act as a teacher, but let me tell you this: in my life, I have been a game operator on another RTS game (not EA) for long times, an important game that still exists and have a forum system maybe even bigger than SCBI's one.
Providers and players got very different points of view, as for the provider is just a business. You told correct things: feeders, dead clubs, mayors not reading nor writing in this forum, mayors leaving the game for unhappiness. All true things. But at the end it's just a question of numbers. Happy customers rarely feel the need to express their happiness. In reverse, is when people are unhappy or got a problem that they need to express it, that's why these forums are always full of "negative" threads. Even with dead clubs or mayors leaving the game, the game looks still alive and kickin', still a business for EA, that won't change anything until it's a business that displeases a 0,015% to 1% of the customers.
What more to say about the bubble problem? We got very different and opposite opinions, and probably no one of us will ever convince the other!:D
But that's one of the fine things of RTS games (and life too): many heads, many opinions, and it's great and constructive to compare its as there's always something to learn, even when your opinion doesn't change. At least until not loosing correct manners, but that's not a problem concerning you, that's for sure.
Best regards!
Dealing with this the last few wars and right now. It's making me lose interest in the game- it's so incredibly boring. I don't care who wins or loses I just want to actually play and be at war because it's fun. These teams are usually smaller and they shield up at the start often with not much lead. We start a war on the weekend and at we are just stuck in a lame waiting game watching the clock hoping something will change. Even if we had the right to forfeit so we could start a new war it'd be better than sitting around. We are here to play a game not watch a clock. Let the turtle teams stroke each other and let the rest of us play.
wow i didn't know they get 30 sim cash? i didn't even know about a shield. i am not in no clubs/teams to do wars. i have been invited but refuse.
so why don't the few of you start your own club/team and play fair? when others see you the team who plays fair they go to your team/club. lol.
i hope EA works out the rules & tweaks for fair players. good luck!
Best idea I've seen yet. August 2019 and this is still a huge problem. Teams of 10 can rarely be beat. Wars should not be decided in the first hour but then last for a couple of days with no progress or change.
Hiding out under the shield is killing the wargame. I like the solution you proposed. It solves the problem in every way. You covered all the bases. Great job
Yes, sadly it has. Perhaps one day when someone conducts a formal problem solving exercise they will determine the real root cause...but first they have to figure out and accept there is a problem...not likely to happen anytime soon.
