How is it going now? Getting any shields?

i got a few only for them to change back to $ signs. :?

How many friends do you have that are playing the event? Also, are you raiding random towns? It's a great way to draw revenge attacks.

I have alot of my neighbors playing. I have a theory of whats happening, when I goto KL and there is a character that needs to be in Springfield for a task, when I choose to return, all my raided building are lost.

When I woke this morning I had alot of raided houses, and when I returned from KL they were gone. :!:

Yes that's a known glitch - you have to clear the shields before you go to KL. I keep waiting for EA to fix this because I also go to KL to collect tickets. And if you are letting your houses get destroyed - they also disappear if you go to KL and come back. In both cases with no elixir or gold.

Maybe its a dry spell, but haven't seen any raided house shields or nerds since this morning

I am certainly seeing fewer shields in my town the last couple days. I think it's just the initial excitement of the event dying down - I was attacking every two hours at the beginning of the event, now I just do it once in the morning and again in the evening.

Yeah, thats what I thought too.

Are we talking friend shields or random?

I'm going to start counting both today to see how my strategy is doing.

Not sure but think its both, their is a glitch if you go to KL before collecting. i'm losing the elixar and gold.
Are you still going to KL even thou your letting your houses be destroyed?

I'm not letting my houses be destroyed; not doing that strategy yet!

This morning...

Buildings in ruin by random: 6
Buildings in ruin by friends: 0
Shields from friends: 27
Shields from random: 26

My B-Town did not do as well. 4,0,12,3 for same types.

Another reason could be your neighbors are visiting randoms more than friends since you have a chance for gold
