[edit] Wars in Era III
You can attack other towns, and you may have to defend your own. Equip your units with armor and weapons to improve their chances of killing your enemies or of successfully defending your own town.
[edit] Attacks
Sometimes in the course of events you may need to attack somebody. This can be done to gain resources, defend your or another kingdom's honour, or just because you feel like it.
[edit] Sending an Attack
To attack another town:
- Go to your target's profile page by going to the appropriate country and entering the coordinates, or by finding their name in the Highscores list and clicking on their name then their town.
- Click 'Attack'.
- Select which units you wish to attack with. Note that you will do best by sending a mixture of units with throwing, ranged, one handed and two handed weapons. See the Battle page to learn more about battle mechanics. You need to send caravans to carry food for the journey and to bring home loot. The more you send the more loot they can carry, 250 resources per caravans. Medics will reduce the chances of your men being injured or killed (as will the Battle Medics research).
- Check the coordinates, the country and the type of attack, then click Go. Check you've got the right target (then click Execute.
It takes a certain time for your units to get to their destination. The further they have to travel the longer it will take. Certain units may slow down the overall progress of your army. You can check their status by checking in Unit Missions. Certain researches may speed up their travel time, or affect the amount of food they consume.
[edit] Executing the Attack
When your units arrive at their destination you will be notified on your Events page. Go to Unit Missions - you can choose to Attack, Retreat or of course do nothing and just wait. For example your target might bow before your might and offer you a tribute of resources, or you might just want to scare them. If you click Retreat your armies will return home. If you click Attack your troops will rush into battle. See How Battle Works for an in-depth idea of what happens.
When you attack you will immediately see a battle report. You are the attacker, and the report will be headed Offense Successful if you won and Offense Failed if you lost. If you won, any loot you manage to steal will also be listed. The loot will return home with your soldiers. Check the Unit Missions page to see when they will return. The report will remain visible in your Events page on the Attacks tab.
[edit] Defense
To defend your town simply ensure you have units with appropriate armor, and build up your walls. Your troops will automatically fight any attackers, even if the attack happens when you are not watching. Reports of attacks are held in the Defenses tab of the Events page. You are the defender and the report will be headed Defense Failed if you lost, i.e. the attacker won. If the attacker stole any loot this will be listed along with any casualties.
