That's clever. At first I was going to say that that is just wishful thinking.. but then I remembered that when I last looked at a low level town it said you can attack but you won't get trophies. I never made the connection. You can create an alt bank account, keep it below 6 and not have to worry about maintaining shields on it. nice.
makes me wonder about all those dead level
I understand why Plarium did that.. you don't want strong, established players picking on those just starting out. But maybe they should have put a timer on it.. like after a town has been idle for a month or so it becomes open for normal attacks. Maybe, depending on how low level it is it get's garbage collected after a longer amount of time.
