Yes, in the real world war rages 24/7. But then, the winning side doesn’t stop at some “camp” with superheroes (i.e. elite guards), they conquer you and take over,kitten pillage and murder. I don’t think we want to play this kind of game, do we?

Thus, I offer the following rough solutions to battle night capping:

1) Just define “nighttime” for all regions, which should be something like 2-8 or 10am, when all keeps, towers etc. net 3 or 5 times less points than at “primetime” – voila. If you want to play at night – you can, it just won’t give you a super lead in points.
Yes it’s fair, because the “night cappers” deliberately chose a server outside of their timezone. And they can easily transfer back while it’s free

2) It would also be nice to be able to sort of “claim” the keep, which would let you re-upgade it again with big discount if it has been taken during nighttime.
Say, the first guild to “claim” the keep once nighttime starts have 12 hours to re-upgade the keep at 90% discount if it has been taken from you. No one can reclaim (but CAN capture and upgarde and whatever) before the 12 hours have passed and the claim only works once
