Spell donations and attacking through a shield improvements

2 ideas/tweeks

1. Spell donations currently only count as 1 "troop" in the donation tally.
I think they should be counted as 10-15 "troops" due to the time/cost of production. The fact a goblin only takes 30 seconds and 100 elixer to produce, yet is worth the same as far as donations doesn't add up to me.

2. When attacking through a shield I've noticed that the time penalty is still deducted from your shield even if you don't attack. i.e. If you start a search then return home without attacking. I think no deduction should be made unless an attack is actioned. The whole beauty of attacking through a shield should be to give players a chance to look for that "whale" target and if it's not found then no penalty should be applied.

1. I don't know what you mean but this one. You mean how much XP you get? or in the Clan members list? It counts as more than 1 in regards to XP earned.
2. That is not what was advertised by SC. If it is removing Shield time while hunting/browsing, but yet not attacking, go to the Bugs and Programs forum and give that a look, and report it if it hasn't already.

Yep, scratch that 2nd tweek. I was convinced it was taking time off my shield, but just double checked it and it didn't. May have been a bug, or more likely a mistake on my part.

as for the spell donations, yes, correct. 1 spell only counts as 1 xp, same as a goblin.
