War - Dummy Attacks

However, I don't think you should be able to get loot from it. What is being proposed is offering a potential 50 bases to loot without having to pay the search cost. That allows people to loot while keeping a shield. Again, I don't think the game should allow anything that removes risk from the game.

Now to address your concern...

Sure, take 1000 gold for each war base I hit. Take 5000! No problems with that. Fair enough?

This is a good point.

The war win loot doesn't cover the army costs (elixir/DE). However you get more of other resources so it'd be abusable to get war win loot. So even I am against getting the war win loot.

You could get the normal loot you'd get from attacking the war base which is measly and therefore it'd not be a big deal even if we got absolutely no loot either. You'd have to expend an expensive army to attack a base so I'd say the payment is quite fitting (you get to attack a base and expend resources getting nothing but experience and (maybe) skill in return).

How's that sound?

Added benefits:

• War practice
• You get the available loot for each attack
• Share attack replays with clan to demonstrate strategy
• Don't have to spend search money to find an equal base to attack
• Can even allow war spectators to do this

To reduce the risk of exposing any more traps on bases that have been attacked but not yet 3-starred, only allow dummy attacks on 3-starred bases.

And such attacks shouldn't cost your real troops, you just edit an illusory army to make such attacks, because it doesn't gain you anything.

No, far too easy. Ruins planning, really unbalances war.

1. Far too easy for whom? To do what?

2. Ruins what planning? For whom? And how?

3. How does it unbalance war?

If it makes people too uncomfortable to allow attacks on active war map, at least allow attacks on all old war maps.
Details of last two wars are already available in war log, just need to enable attacking.
