Please give us back the war map of the last 5 years.

This new format just took my gold 5 alliance to silver 2,in part bcuz we had ONE DAY before being notified to set a new D. This map is one of your worst ideas since the as yet unchanged timeout policy, penalizing loyal players bcuz we get tired of watching a wheel spin for 15 minutes.

As for the “1 day before being notified to set a new defense”. It wasn’t the notification, but rather that the change to NEXT MAP did not (could not ?) switchover too far in advance (actually not at all in advance, and even went beyond when season had ended) because the old map's war and season was still in place.
But you did have the entire rest of the pre-season before in which to re-do your defense to 1 player, placed on an actual node.
Same issue now that we are back. Not really any significant time in which to revert back to 5 champs prior to this current first off-season war taking place. And will probably take couple wars before everyone gets their full defense back in.
