Sniping Award

[DeletedUser6362]

I have always thought players should be given a sniping award. IMO, flag awards for it should even be strengthened (green=1, blue=25, teal=100, purple=250 or something).

Not sure how it would be coded, but the core concept doesn't doesn't seem impossible.

If Noble 1 lands @ X and Noble (2,3,4) lands @ Y=X+.500ms, and Support lands between X&Y, then Award.

Has anything like this been tried?

Nothing like this has ever been tried and will likely be very hard to put in action and get inno to approve, but I will leave that to Kawoni to give you a better answer. As she is more fit to answer this question than I am.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will pass this on to the Devs. But it would be highly unlikely as it would be to hard to monitor and track across all the servers. And how do you know it is a true snipe or just a mass amount of support sent and it made it in time to snipe. How would you track a cancel snipe?

Thank you and it will be mentioned.

I don't think you're asking me these questions, but I'll offer suggestions in case they ask you. I'm not a software developer by any means, but I took three comp sci classes, so I'll act like an expert. (/s on my credentials)

I think the devs already have a simple way to identify the attack type (i.e. support, cancel). I'm imagining they are tracked in a database that only has a few categories (attack, support, cancel, return) I think cancel, return, and support could all be tracked and awarded in the same manner I mentioned before (using if/then or something with the same effect in relationship to attacks with nobles within X milliseconds (or 1 second or something)).

I have no idea how difficult it would be to do for multiple servers...let alone one. Does it stress the servers? Zero clue.

I wouldn't mind if it somebody got lucky and sniped a train on accident and then got an award.

Thank you for taking this idea to the devs. I think it would be very popular across all servers if implemented.

Implementing this award potentially creates a negative effect on player skill, specifically decision making. It's an incentive to favour sniping over stacking.


Stick with the noblemen killed award.

Lol, you just don't want more people trying to snipe you

sniping award?i doubt that can be implemented...better with noblemen killed.after all,it is not important how the nobles died/;sniped or the village were full of troops.the result is all that matters

I agree with this,would be nice.Also as in the case of loyalty down to 0 and down to 1,there could be another award of just one level,unsuccessfull snipe.Like when u do snipe good but you don't snipe with enough troops and your vill gets taken anyway.

dont want to be new ideas hater but cant see this works
well it is not the same snipe 1 sec or 10 sec train
also people can use opera to send 3 attack 1 suport 1 attack makeing snipe when they send train just to colect award
you can snipe nobles,but also ram/cats train (sometimes used when destroying buildings)


but speaking of new ideas maybe it is possible to make "suport odd"
someone stack my villa and i have od,player who save me dont get anything-well he get "death of a hero" award but it is wrong- goal is to have smaler losses
for killed nuke deffender gets like 70k odd,player who stack them should get 70k sodd-if there is 50% his troops he will get 35k sodd
if there is like 20k/20k stack with 20 players 1k/1k pockets everybody will get 5% like 3.5k sodd

-if someone else snipe train that attacks me he should get suported sniping award lv1 lol
