Pay gems to get revenge on shielded opponents

Exactly what I suggested in the title: for the cost of some gems, you get to take revenge on an opponent that is under shield or guard. The loot would be either a) what they raided from you plus a fixed percentage (maybe 10%), or b) whatever is in their storages (whichever is the lesser of the two). Along with this, you would only be able to gem for revenge within a specific timeframe (maybe a week?) and you would have a limited number of gemmed revenges per day (maybe 1-2).

Otherwise just scrap revenge. The revenge button is a massive tease that doesn't do anything under the current system.

But the shield is supposed to keep you from attackers. It should stay that way.

Which is why I suggested that the loot you get from revenge is a) limited to the amount that was taken from you (plus a small percentage), and b) the number of gemmed revenges available per day are limited. The whole point of revenge is that you get a chance to recover what was taken from you.

As I mentioned in my previous post, it's impossible to get revenge with the current system. Either change the system or remove revenge as an option.

Edit: If you want to make it thematic, you don't even have to call it revenge. You can call it "Sneak attack". You have a scout that can go out once or twice a day to scout a shielded or guarded opponent that attacked you first. The scout's ability allows you to get around the shield. You have to pay gems to use the scout's ability. Regular revenge is still available for free.

No thanks. This idea totally defeats the purpose of shielding. Plus the mechanics of shields would need to be changed to accommodate your suggestion Remember, a shielded village may be online and ecen attacking other villages.

Revenge in general and ways to revenge through a shield are flogged to death on a weekly basis. Try reading some other threads for people's reflection on shielding and revenge.

Then get rid of revenge and don't use Liam Neeson to market it because that's false advertising. Nobody actually ever gets a chance at revenge.

And if it's a persistent complaint, that suggests a lot of users are disgruntled about it. Maybe it shouldn't simply be dismissed.

Read those other threads I mentioned. Revenge does work in some instances.

People report great rewards in cups and loot, indicating that your experience is not everyone's experience and vice-versa.

Edit. dont read the next sentence if you "need" revenge.
The need for revenge is for the shallow-minded. It's still just a game.

Resorting to insults. Nice.

Not an insult. Read those other threads.

Ask yourself if you "need" or just "want" revenge. Everything revenge offers - in a game - can be gained from a multiplayer attack.

When you imply that someone is "shallow-minded" that is insulting. Whatever.

What if they paid gems for a week shield? Anyway I don't this is a good idea because that means that people who gem now have a huge advantage. Before it was just they could get an occasional shield and upgrade everything faster. But it didn't make them more powerful than players who are the same th level who didn't gem.
