Attacking & raidingall topics

• How do I send troops?Open Rally Point, Send troops, choose the units, type the target coordinates, pick the mission (reinforce, attack, raid, scout) and confirm.
• Normal attack, raid, reinforcement or scouting: which one?A raid steals resources and both sides lose only part of their troops. A normal attack fights to the end and is needed for rams, catapults, chiefs and capturing oases.
• How is a battle calculated?Total attack is compared with total defence. The stronger side wins; the weaker side's strength decides how many the winner loses.
• What is morale? Why was my attack weaker?When a bigger player (more population) attacks a smaller one, the attack is weakened by up to one third. Morale does not help the attacker.
• Rams and wallsRams lower the enemy wall in normal attacks. They strike before the fight, so the battle is fought against the weaker wall, and they damage the wall even if you lose.
• Catapults: destroying buildings and choosing targetsCatapults hit buildings after a won normal attack. What you can aim at depends on your Rally Point level; below level 3 they hit at random.
• How does scouting work?Send only scouts on a Scout mission. If at least one survives, you see the target's resources, troops, hero, wall level and how much the cranny hides.
• How much do I steal, and what does the cranny protect?Survivors take what the target has above its cranny protection, up to their carry capacity, split evenly between the four resources.
• How do I read reports?Every battle, scouting, delivery, reinforcement and settling creates a report. It shows both armies, losses, loot, heroes, wall and building damage and notes.
• How do I use the combat simulator?The simulator fights a battle with the real battle code without changing anything. Enter both armies and see the winner, losses, wall and building damage, and how much stronger you need to be.
• Where are my troops? (troop movements)The Rally Point lists all movements with All, Incoming, Outgoing and Returning tabs. Click your own movement to see the exact troops and the haul.
• Farm lists (Gold Club)With the Gold Club, save up to 100 raid targets per list (10 lists) and raid them all with one click, or automatically every 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes.
• Oasis Raider: automatic oasis raids (Gold Club)A Gold Club tool: turn it on and it raids the best free oases around a village by itself, every 5 to 60 minutes, and sizes each raid to carry the loot.
