Make revenge possible

Real quick. Allow us to see how much shield remains for players we try to revenge. I know, I know. Most active players deactivate their shields before letting them run out but at least we have a better chance of getting revenge. Think about a time that you really wanted revenge and you try to revenge them but find they have an active shield. (That should be easy to imagine). That's kind of a bummer every time. Now what if you are told that they have an active shield for another 5 minutes and 15 seconds? I don't know about you but I'm sticking around to give it a go.

Revenge is possible.

But, it would be nice for a tweak that tells u how long the opponents shield is.

You're right. It is possible but from my experience over the last two years is that tapping the revenge button has become a fruitless endeavor for the most part. Getting the details, as you kindly agreed with, is a nice courtesy all users could appreciate.

That's why I avoid revenge,

Ah, but if I recall, Angryneeson52 loves his revenge. Was revenge not a special enough feature of the game to warrant a super bowl commercial? Seems if SC can spend enough money to promote the concept on TV they could do a little enhancing of the concept ;)

Lets not keep Neeson from regaining his glory because he has to push the revenge button all the time instead of play the game.

I thought the concept was dragons and barbarians and coffee shops...

I think there is a fairly strong consensus that the current revenge system doesn't work particularly well.


One thing that has been suggested that would help is allowing players to scroll through the bases available for revenge in visiting mode (without breaking their shield) to see if a base is worth attacking, with a button there to revenge. When visiting a base, it should tell you how much they stole from you (as someone who often leaves their TH out, I do not revenge people who only snipe me), and if they're online, have a shield, or are available for revenge. Having at least a rough estimate of when their shield will run out would also be nice.


This got me thinking about a bigger change though that would make revenge a lot more viable. What if, instead of your shield going down all at once, it started to falter as it ran out? In this case it might be too much if you knew about how long you had until an opponent's shield ran out, but the basic idea is that there would be a window at the end of your shield when your base is available ONLY to players looking to revenge you. Say half an hour.

The easier you make it to revenge them, the easier you make it for them to revenge you...

I'm fine with that. I feel like the revenge feature is one that would get more players more involved in the game if it was a bit easier to actually get revenge on someone.

True True, I get revenged rarely. I already take thought into who I attack to avoid being crushed on a revenge. I think making it a bit easier would help promote that mentality. I'm perfectly fine with giving those I crush a chance to get me back :)
