They already have something like that which is two swords, it allows you to discover an attack if your online, if your offline, you shouldn't have a notification pop-up.First, if you had seen my earlier post you would have seen the realism. I compared the alarm to an advisor or someone like that. Let's say you actually controlled a city. Suddenly, your advisor or whoever is alerted of an incoming attack. He would most likely wake you up and warn you. I know I would. If you were the advisor would you think, 'Oh it would be unfair to the enemy wake him up so I'll just let him sleep'?
It hasn't, defenders have a huge advantage and as I said in the earlier post, the only advantage an attacker can have that the defender can't is surprise. With the alarm there is no chance of that. I am saying the online/offline system is very well balanced. Not attacking vs defending because it's awfully in favor of the defender, which to some extent, it has to be. Tripwires, walls, towers, researches, militia etc. are all intended to work when your offline as well as online.Second, when has the defending and attacking system of this game been perfectly balanced?
You would only have to rebuild/cut troops times if you need to rebuild what was a costly defend/attack. But seeing how the alarm is made it gives some users the ability to never lose much but keep the attackers having to rebuild constantly. As for the merchant/administrator they are of no relevance to this topic because happiness is better than the merchant and the admin is not really needed, but the other three work in favor of both the defender/attacker so I don't really see how it's an issue. Spell extensions? I don't really see how that's unfair seeing you can't extend external spells (i.e. Lightning bolt, quake). The olympic games is also of very limited relevance to this as they don't give much of an advantage, there are plenty of ways to get CP.Third, the attack alarm doesn't magically make your buildings and troops construct faster. It doesn't hire you a captain, high priestess, merchant, commander, or administrator. It doesn't allow you to extend spells. It doesn't fund Olympic games. It's as available to me as gold is.
As for the sports relevance, I know for a fact that sports are never fair, no matter how well the organiser tries to hide it
