Started searching for an attack when a message came on the screen saying it was stopping attacks for five minutes, instead of allowing me to go home, it prevented me from doing anything other than attacking the base on the screen, a tough base with very little loot, I'm trying to gain some trophies so had no choice but to attack it, ending in a loss of both trophies and the cost of my troop. Why let me attack at all?
you could've forced close your app if you have not deployed any troopsQuote:

In last instance, you could have just shut the game.
Once you've started an attack search you can't get out until you attack can you? The button on the bottom left just said surrender. It wasn't letting me search further so the 30 seconds ran out, pretty sure I would have lost out even if I'd just closed out, although tbh I've never done that so didn't think of it.
Eh... that button, if you hit it while you haven't put any troops down, it will take you back.Quote:

Now you know.
Nope, it actually says end battle, which it says until you drop your first troop. It still says end battle even if the 30 second timer has ran out, as long as you don't drop a troop.Quote:

And as as others have said, you could have just shut the app down and lost your searching cost, rather than waste your army.
but doesn't that mean I then lose therefore losing trophies? It's says surrender rather then return home?
If it said "surrender" and not "end battle" then you had deployed troops already, it only changes to surrender once you deploy troops even if the attack timer has already started.Quote:

2c
When you surrender without dropping any troops or spell, it doesn't count.
Sorry, cross posted. So End battle can be used without penalty, obviously surrender is exactly that.
If you havent dropped any troops you dont lose cups for ending a battle even if the 30 sec timer has run.Quote:

Yes. All you lose at that point is the search costs. And the time spent staring at clouds which could have been used to build a new army.Quote:
