Vacation mode Options

[dufis]

Changes needs to be made to vacation mode.

It is becoming habit for people to jump into vacation mode whenever one of their bases comes under attack by nobles. Then later, when it is safe, they pay some coins to come out of vacation mode and buy extra loyalty.

This makes is virtually impossible to take over any city controlled by an enemy player.

Vacation mode should be for when you go away for a period of time, not to escape the capture of your cities.

Suggestions:
- A player can activate vacation mode only once every 30 days.
- Vacation mode lasts a minimum of 7 days. No buyout.

PS. Question: does loyalty increase during vacation mode?

And another one goes into vacation mode to prevent a village from being captured.

This is ridiculous!

No. During Vacation mode all activity in all castles is stopped.

But the fact that people go into vacation due to the risk of losing towns, is nothing bad. When they come out, the situation continues and they cannot go into vacation for 2 days... so...

But the situation does not just continue!

When they come out of vacation mode, my units (and those that helped me) have moved on elsewhere. You cannot sit and park your units just waiting for someone to come out of vacation mode.
By that time the vacationing player has summoned support from his allies and the 2 days of vacation mode gives them enough time to come to his aid.

They are also not likely to come out of vacation mode at a time when I am active, giving them extra time to recover loyalty.

Using vacation mode to escape losing a village should be stopped.

I suggest that when you go into vacation mode and have a village with less than 10K loyalty, then that village is still open to attack until it reaches 10K loyalty.
