I think there is a typo in the event name - the 'f' was menat to be a 't'.

Some major bugs and features make the event useless. Designed by people who don't play.

1. If you send an attack overnight, which lands after the reset time, it will bounce and troops will return to your main. You will get no points and likely starvation at main if you sent a decent attack. I lost 8300 troops this way, due to GGS being unable to put a conditional statement in the program. Sure have some stable geniuses there, as this was not the case in teh teaser event.

2. Who is going  to tie up 1-5 commanders and troops sets for 1.5-4 h (depends onyour speed) during their playtime? No one, more fun to use troops on other targets (also see (3) below).

3. No food loot, you need to run a food deficit to play this game, so that you can have useable attack and defence armies. So tying up troops on missions that don't bring any bread home is a non starter.

4. You get points if you send a crap comm and 32 troops.

5. So event will be played by most using the strategy in (4). Only exceptions will be players who are playing early or late on their server timezone, they will be able to send major attacks just before going off, since their off time does not coincide with shapshifter reset.

Still looking for an alternative game - let me know if you find a decent one.
