Is it such an easy task and can be done by a click of mouse ?
 Would you consider to change  the map auto reset   to  48 hours? plz  :pray
Let's say 4AM ET every 2nd day  , when the numbers are low and doesn't affect the war effort.
 The current  setting and low numbers makes  maps impossible to reset, we get stuck 7 days on same map; ,imo a big minus in game quality.

It is still set to 7.

Btw you can check these yourself in the Arena Settings when online. You can view them all you just can not change them. The varible is DaysTilTerrainChange under the Time Tab

Maps seem to be being won quite frequently at the moment ..it seems to me.

With higher rate of base captures per player as well as per played time, and much more imbalanced countries (due to lower overall player count) that wouldn't surprise me.
That being said, there are no published stats about won wars.

Jimmy,  bases are easier to capture but that has been a lot of fun both from a capture point of view and a defense point of few.

Just the other day, tthe bish and knits had a big furbal going.  Me and a few rooks, eased into town, took it down and captured with with a full red dar going.  Before we could enjoy the glory of the capture, the knits used s CV and took one of our bases right under our noses.  Then the bish did exactly the same thing.  This was all during prime time.

Fantastic..all seems great and the game is working well.I like to see maps won and I like taking bases( or the fun of the fight for them/defense as well)
I dont think it needs a fix
CTD obviously needs sorting and I know they are trying their hardest to sort it at head office, stutters too..
apart from those ..game is a win win for me..

Saturday afternoon, we were on the Mindineo map, the bish were closes to winning the map. I think they needed 8 percent more of Rook bases to win but their numbers/drive was slipping. Knights were pushing hard and had 35 percent of rook bases but 0 of bish. All of a sudden we got a system  message "the terrain will reset in 4 mins". Nothing about anyone winning the war, just the count down to the reset. I think the map had been up less than 2 days.

What Fugitive said. Knights had just started rolling back the Bish and had cut their percentage of Knight bases. when "BAM" 4 minute notice.  Something not right.

When you guys look at the side percentages on the clipboard, also take note of how long the terrain has been up. Info like that should help to find any issues with the DaysTilTerrainChange setting.

I have too seen the map change without a winning country,  and under the time limit.
