• When a HQ gets attacked, do the units being recruited there take part in the defense?
No. Units only get recruited into HQs after all
battles have been resolved. If a HQ gets conquered any units
recruiting there that turn are lost forever.
• Can my Knights use their attack value when traveling into a battle in a friendly country?
No. If your team owns the country at the start of the round, your units
can only defend there. Knights only use their attack value when
moving into a country that is owned by the enemy.
• When 2 allies attack the same country in the same move how is the battle run, and who controls the country after the battle?
The attacking allies will be grouped together and collectively fight the
defenders. The player with the most surviving units will take
ownership of the country after the battle.
• If there is no defender in a country and 3 separate teams attack it, does one get designated as the 'defender'?
No, they will all use attack values.
• If enemy players A and B both attack a country owned by player C, how are the battles figured?
A and B will both attack the defender to start with, with the defender
fighting against both of them at the same time. If the
defender gets eliminated then A and B attack each others forces until
only 1 player is left.
• Can I give-up and see the end graph of the game?
Under the Game menu you have the option to Surrender.
• Can I preview the results of a battle?
The Battle Odds Calculator can help you judge battle results. Watch out though, it will only be accurate if the enemy moves as you expect him to. Even then, there's some randomness in every battle
• If I attack an enemy country at the same time he attacks me, will we meet in the middle?
No. If you attack an enemy country with
all of your armies and your enemy attacks your country with all their
armies, you will not meet in battle. Instead, you will swap places and
essentially trade countries. Plan for this when doing battle, it's usually good to leave forces behind just in case an enemy tries
to slip behind your front lines to wreak havoc.
• Can I secretly chat with my teammates?
Yes. Use the /t
command to send secret team-chat to your allies. Team-chats are always shown in green text. Colloborating with your teammates is the best way for your team to win.
• Can I change my moves after I click Finished Moves?
During online multi-player games, you can change your moves after you've clicked "Finished Moves" as long as the game is still waiting for other players. It is not until every player
has clicked the "Finished Moves" button that your moves will become finalized.
• If I lose my HQ am I dead?
All hope may not be lost,
provided you have at least 5 units remaining in play. You can save money
round to round until you have enough to buy a new HQ, which can be
placed in a teammates land. However, even if you build a HQ in a
teammates land, you will be the only one that can recruit there.
