I believe that you should be able to use your hero ability when watching a live attack on your base.
Currently, the ability can only be used when you're doing the attacking yourself. However,, the ability should only be activated by choice, and not when the hero reaches a certain health level. This would promote activity as well.
Let me know what you think
You do realise that "live" attacks are not realy live? there is a delay........ :confused:
Yes, I do realise that. Surely it wouldn't impact that much, would it?
er.... its not live,:facepalm:, how can you affect something that is effectively a "replay"????Quote:

Oh, okay.Thanks. I knew the delay was there, but I didnt think it was that big.Quote:

And yeah. Can't interact in realtime when there are several seconds of delay. You are watching the replay file as it is being generated. By the time you try something, the reason for it has already happened, and troops have likely moved on. Now, I can kinda sorta handle a ping of 500 ms in a first person shooter (aka ½ second), but 5+ seconds... phhh! Might as well be standing still the whole time.
Heh, speaking of delay. Didn't see the reply until after I posted.

Never heard of it being ruled out, and page word search of 'hero' showing all mention of hero shows nothing in regards to it being ruled out.
It was something I wish it did, but hadn't felt like making a thread for it yet. Been too busy with other things. Right now, after 2 failed attempts at getting an idea across, (pose ideas and then ask what people would like), I'm checking to see if the basic logic of the idea is even understandable :unsure: I feel like I'm talking to kids.

Wait, I could be! I'm old enough to... ugh :facepalm:
