Hey, Neighbor... leave those shields alone!

Sorry you're having issues. I had an issue when I first upgraded the game. Rebooted my ipad and haven't had a single issue since. Ooops, probably shouldn't have said that.

But having said THAT, my question in my first post was to find out if I was correct about shields. So again, IF THE GAME IS STABLE AND WORKING PROPERLY (like mine is, knock wood) is the potential gain (between neighbors working together and leaving respective shields alone so the houses are destroyed) higher than tapping the shields early?

Thanks for the glitch warning.

Yet another reason I'm mostly spreading my nerds far and wide. One to a town mostly. If that one town has some issue, like an accidental trip to KL that clears the shields without payment to me or them, or this glitch about trip to neighbors, or anything else that comes up, then I've only lost that one nerd's income.

First to your question... No. Because if you and the people visiting you would clear the shields then the buildings would be ready for another hit. With the way it was before this morning, 3 hits on a building defended would get you 30 gold versus the 25 gold won from a random house. And you'd have to wait a long time for that 25 gold, while you don't have to wait at all to defend. And you could defend that same house many times a day. Also it will take longer and longer to win an attack, or use of more nerds. To attack and have it defended cost one nerd. Things are changing though. For many, it is now 5 gold instead of 10 for a defense. Maybe the won attacks will start paying more and that will change the best strategy.

Second, I don't know anyone who does not have the KL glitch. Are you sure you don't have it. Leave just one house with a shield and visit KL. When you get back is that shield gone?
