Is the infrastructure loss on castle surrender intended?

[DesignerGranch]

Is the infrastructure loss on castle surrender an intended game mechanic and thus there was a bit of miscommunication about the atlas season, or is it a problem to be fixed which is not yet listed into known issues? Also was that something that has already existed 2Y ago before they removed infrastructure loss on castle conquer?

Also noticed this about a few minutes ago…
Didn’t see anywhere that surrendering also penalizes infrastructure

Very long discussion here:

New Atlas Changes… Respectfully Disagree

I’m not one that usually comes to the forums to voice my concerns about War Dragons, as I tend to be more of a behind the scenes, adapt, adjust, move on, and keep playing the game I love… However, we have now reached a culminating point in the game. How many more teams need to disband and players quit before we realize there needs to be a change to balance the playing field? What I see, is that the new changes remove many opportunities for teams on all levels and forces teams to play a war game…

Probably should have been announced in an in-game email.

Why wouldnt surrender do the same , castle trading is not an intended mechanic either . Wish they would make penalties for surrendering like loosing 100% guards or else

There is a surrender button on old land castles and well most of the teams are using it from time to time for their own benefit, given the assumption that all rules are there to be exploited (cause no they can’t be broken this is a computer program, unless you can see the matrix…)
