Major Bug After WL18

Once you reach War Level 18, you are no longer able to declare war on C3 countries anymore. I understand that there is no war level 19, but I should be able to continue waging wars at the max war level. Please fix this bug guys.

I agree you should always be able to sharpen your skills

So it means that you cannot go pvp and use c3 countries as a base to attack players. Before it was that all next levels after 18th were like lvl1 so probably that was changed.

That is correct Mndz. No C3 wars can be declared at max war level, only wars against players. The button to declare does not appear. Only the cancel button shows up. I guess the developers have not gotten to WL18 either. I am the first. Glory to the Pinktator!

Congratulations John

There was a player in FB few months ago who reached lvl18, then after that he had to fight lvl1. There was a bug that doing that his war lvl further increased so he achieved 40+war lvl. I Ihink w3c noticed that and stopped this exploit.

Still, current situation is also not ok, so w3c is probably silently fixing the code.

i hope there fixing it theres not really a pvp aspect anymore so if you cant attack c3 country what else is there left of the game ?

Bump for Andy

I think it would be wonderful if you could chose what c3 lvl to fight against, but you would only increase your war lvl by winning against higher lvl.

Yes! In the documentation it actually says you can choose to fight WL3, or your next war level rank. Not sure why that isn't in the game.

Bump. Plz look into this bug. I would like to keep waging war on c3s but am prevented from doing so. The declare war button is missing at wl18.

I am sorry about it.

I will look into it this week and we will fix it ASAP

Thanks Andy

Any update on this fix?

*Bump*

Just a friendly reminder about this bug.

The next update will have a solution for this problem.

Hi Andy, I see in the update news that War Levels 19 and 20 have been added. Just so you know it still does not appear to be implemented. Also, what happens when I eventually reach WL20? Will the same bug occur or is a permanent solution going to be added? What would be an ideal fix is to have an option to declare war on a country at your max WL or at WL3 (players choice), but you only level up if you declare at your max level.

I am sorry john,

there were some structural changes in this upgrade and we considered it more risky. Not visible changes but we need them longer term.

It was done several hours ago on KB only (after tests on our testing system).

we are waiting to test more on KB after the next month run. (this will be in an hour from now).
then, if OK,
we will install on the other worlds.

the game news were a bit too early.

Please let me know if you see change/no change after 11:00 EST

Will do Andy. With regard to the other part of my question, what will happen once I reach the new maximum? Will I encounter the same problem of not being able to declare wars on C3s? Can we have the possibility of declaring war on a C3 at war level 3 at anytime without advancing our war level up, or if we are at the maximum?

John,

We added three war levels.
we will add more later.
It requires quite some work doing this but much less than needed to fight your way through (I think).

We did not decide on any C3 war feature that will not move you up the war levels.
Repeated wars against C3s at war level 3 are not really a challenge.

I am just concerned about what happens when I max out again? Being blocked out from C3 wars is a huge disadvantage in terms of military strategy. Sometimes you need to conquer a base near a potential enemy. There should be a way to still wage C3 wars when you hit maximum level.

Level 3 C3 wars are not about a challenge. It is about conquering an outpost without having to wage a world war against super C3s at high war level.

I very much agree with John

We had a long chat yesterday about it.
I promised to get back to you with suggestions.

war lvls are garbage i miss when i could attack c3s and not raise it if i dont want to

It used to be a lot of money for no effort.
easier than growing your economy.

we may bring it back but for other reasons than easy money.
if you need to attack a country far away, it makes sense to conquer a country near by.
