I think it may be beneficial to lock the pieces of your base when you aren't editing it - either force us to go into edit mode to move them, or give us a lock icon or setting somewhere. I know many players that have accidentally dragged a wall piece or tiny decoration somewhere without realizing it when trying to move their view, and never realized there was now a hole. I haven't done it that I can recall, but I'm paranoid I may after seeing others make the mistake, and would rest a lot easier if I knew I was safe from it.
This happens so often when using the side screen on the iPad. Drop back into the game and realise I accidentally created a puddle.
I have done this a few times, luckily I have realised before anyone attacked. I have also rotated a gp too without realising
+1 One possibility: put the lock on the edit screen, so people who only edit on the real map can never accidentally lock their layout.
Haha. I must admit that I have crashed a base or 10 due to this small mistake. Best one for me is the "oeps I move my guild schip 1 tile and now you can walk in"
Ditto on the GP. Why is it that it happens almost only to GPs? Probably because it has the worst result!!!
Maybe you could argue that it's part of the game. Make a silly mistake, suffer. I'm not advocating for that, I've had my fair share of accidental changes, sometimes caught, mostly not. I'm just wondering where the line between dumb mistakes and flaws/features in the game should be drawn. Wouldn't want this taken too far.
