Legends league clouds idea
You can leave things as they are for the people who enjoy it. For as who need more action you could create some kind of zone. You enter it on your own risk :). In the "zone" you attack somebody and after that you have like minute to put your army to cook and fill cc . Then you will be attacked. You don't even have to get out, you can watch it live. If nobody attack you in the next 5 minutes you can attack again. I would even take the next button out , so you have to attack who ever you get( after hours spend in Clouds , I don't think anybody is klicking next button anyway).In the zone you don't get a shield. Afer you get out , you can get one. Let me know what you think ?
