Unit to help you catch somebody going in sleep

[septimus]

Would it work both ways? I mean, as someone that has used sleep mode fairly regularly this round a unit like this would be a bit annoying, unless I could use that unit in Defense so the attacker then can't recall regardless of what he is up against? Like massive D, or SAS?

I dont see the use of a unit like this

Everyone is able to develop them, so is the guy hitting sleep mode.
Now what is the use of this unit when the guy hitting sleep mode has the same unit?
Just send the unit out aswell, and still be unable to catch??
Its not like you care much about the 15% of seed income during this 8 hour sleep period.

So, is it just me? am i the only seeing the uselessness of unit?

Nope, that was my first though as well.

I didn't think about the uselessness, I just looked at the other potential downsides IE how this could effectively eliminate the value in being in an ally(Someone attacks you, sends these units at 4 people in your ally that can beat them, all of a sudden you can't be defended etc).

Either way I see no real benefit in the unit.

dont think the eta 20 unit will make a difference as they will have it as well and send that out to government also. So you still can't attack them, its hardly a solution to the problem.

 

[darkmane]

Make the ETA 20 unit only usable on attacks.

 

[timtadams]

That is a good solution.

However i still disagree with the need for such a unit

Simple solution to the guy sleeping being able to use it...
The unit can only be sent to attack

 

[BlackWolf]

Even simpler way... make sleeping more usable and if someone hits sleep their mobs are automatically recalled.

I really do not see the need for a unit like this. I have only used sleep mode once that I can remember and that was because I was going out of town for 5 days. Why can an inactive person not log in attack with troops and then hit sleep without the worries of logging in to nothing, or for the reason I did so myself?

I don't like this :\ Cause when people send away and go into sleep mode it's obviously because they don't want to die and.. if there were eta 20 units, there'd be nothing the victim can do about it

 

[JJB]

yh i agree the unit would defeat the main purpose sleep is now used 4
most ppl go into sleep after getting zeroed to prevent constant waving

 

[septimus]

It would also make allies useless, what's to stop 4 guys from each sending 5 mobs out with this unit at one ally, so all 20 members of said ally are occupied, and unable to defend the real INC?

havent read this thread and im not sure if cheeses original post was just a troll. But why should there be a unit that could possibly destroy a player who just entered sleep? the whole purpose of sleep imo is to prevent this and it gives you worry-free time from bushtarion when vacationing or otherwise occupied.

i just dont get it.
