Adjusting combat time based on differences in Town Hall levels at least in wars

Ran into a clan using TH8's and TH9's with single cannon to sandbag them lower on the list. Fortunately our rooks can handle this and we dropped them all however there is still the TH11 beats up on th10s 9s etc. So I was thinking what if the timer were changed based on TH differences. So for instance Time - (((25 * (attacker TH - Defender TH)) + (3^(Attacker TH - Defender TH)))?

So th10 attacks a th7 then 3:30 - (25 * 3) + 3*3*3 or 1:48 timer causing the attacker to have to hurry instead of trickle feeding a few troops for cleanup.

TH10 vs TH9 3:30 - (25 + 3) or 3:02 timer

TH9 vs TH10 (3:30 - (-25 + -3)) or 3:58 allowing a different troop set with the extra time.

Set limit of 5 min max and 1 min minimum on the timer.

This would make cleanup more challenging, allow lower Town Halls more time vs Higher Town Halls in a mismatch setting thus solving some of the matching issues using only the timer.

Now I fully expect the TH11's to run over this like a freight train over a tricycle but it would make TH mismatches closer allowing the weaker attacker to run extra low damage troops like Golems or Hounds because they have more time to work with. And people who seek easy 3's will still have to work because they will be short on time.

Just trying to improve the war mismatches using a simple time adjustment but this could also be used in normal base attacks.

Then we'd have little reason to advance since we know we will be hindered if we develop for war. So I don't see this happening, sorry.

So you think a horrible mismatch is better? Driving some to stop waring and others to quit all together? I personally will still be going th10 as soon as my last xbow is maxed. Right now a mismatch is 2 days of boredom for weak clan who doesn't fight and same for bigger clan who hits bases with no war castle troops in them!

Personally I'd rather fight but in a matchup that's not close its stupid to waste troops on war castles but instead talk other clan into open base exchange so cheep stars can be had!

Reducing times on th mismatch makes it more of an even fight allowing additional creative war armies and stops the wall less village th sand bagging

Every major change done has pampered to the th10s first lighting is nerfed so loot can't be hit! A wonderful tool for revenge after being crushed by a th 2 levels above! Then th was forced inside making sure lower ths are crushed for max stars n loot.

If they keep making changes to help the higher halls eventually the guys lower decide the hills to steep to climb and the middle ths dry up.

As a th9 who actually 3 stared a th10 once in a war adding a small slice of additional time would balance even more and would be some additional incentive to not rush a base.

Or we can continue to pamper the guys with the nukes leaving the rest of us wondering why we should be sharecroppers for the big boys who should not need all the advantages all the time if they are any good that is!

Perfect example clan we face has us totally outclassed 2x th11 3x10s vs our 2 two TWO FRICKING TOWN ALL 10s at the top freaking joke of a match waste of 2 days doing nothing with a timer balance in we might have tried to fight but no way!

Wars are going to end for us very soon because an auto loss isn't worth the investment

Its always like that, the highest th get the advantage, and the rest also to enemy with lower th but with addition pressure from higher th that have same like u :b

As I frequently said:

New TH levels have so much stuff that longer is needed. My solution:

When attacking...

TH3-7 Battle time = 3 minutes

TH8 Battle time = 3:10

TH9 Battle time = 3:20

TH10 Battle time =3:30


I guess they misread. Gave everyone battle time 3:30.
Go to the above times. Surely the programming is not so hard.

I guess TH 11 should have 3:40? Kind of irrelevant, given that the only way to three star TH11 is with freeze and very very fast.

yea but how it depends on attacker/defender? It will confusing if to attacker if it depend on def and same as reversed 3.30 isnt so long &enough now, no one feel offended with this i think

It depends on the defender, most definitely.

Should a TH10 attacking TH8 need extended time? Vice versa, obviously.

And that punishes weaker villages attacking up! My formula does not cause a huge change as long as you are within 1-2 levels of the opponent. And it adds time to the weaker TH attacker. Those who are abusing the TH levels to max attack strength while limiting defense in order to gain extra dragon armies to use will be hurt because a lower base will now have additional time to go after them forcing them to increase defense or be buried by a TH3.

Additionally the time modifications will allow more choices in army sets for an opponent having to attack up. They will still face huge firepower etc. from the higher TH base but at least they have a choice to heavy up more maybe adding an additional Gol to the mix.

The combination of TH going inside and the nurfing of the lightning spell on loot has made it a field day for the higher TH with little or no response coming back from the lower TH. How many more advantages are going to be given to the higher attacker before the lower punching bag quits the game? Based in the responses to the last update I think many will!

When I have to clean up a base 2-3 levels lower than myself generally I finish the base off with plenty of time and save troops because it's boring easy work. At least trimming off time will cause me to work a little faster to bury the guy.

Recap: Time mods based on TH levels will:
1. Add balance in a war mismatch by increasing the lower TH attackers time.
2. Cause higher attackers to have to work for their 3 stars by a loss of starting time.
3. Will go along way to taking away the gamey tactic of upgrading TH/troops/camps only to gain more heavy attacks for the clan
4. Take away some of the huge advantages given to the higher THs because TH are now inside and lighting does not harm loot.

I see I was unclear. No, time depends on who you are attacking. It punishes high TH attacking down, helps low TH attacking up.

The rationale is that it takes more time to attack more buildings.
