    'Fake Attack' stop Ambush?

    Does sending a 'fake attack' after your main land grab stop the target from ambushing you back?

    By 'fake attack' i mean sending 1 general with just 1 soldier. This army will obviously loose, and therefore no land is taken.

    Does the ambush hit the last army that took land from you? Or am i mistaken in my thinking (happens all the time, so i wouldn't be surprised)

    Well if it did.... you could hit for land, then send a 1 soldier attack :P

    Why don't you try it out and find out? It'd be interesting to know.

Even in this weakened stage of the game, there are thousands of players. There are still people who (foolishly) revolve their life around the timing of this game.

    You currently are posting in a forum directly related to his created game. He really wasn't interested in the game for the past few years he managed it; hence the reason he never updated the code or was present in his own forums.

    wait then, just got another question!

    In a multi-tap, do you ambush more than one of the armies? Or just the last one that hit you. If multiple, does it start with the last one to hit you, or the first?

    if i attack you for 200, 150 then 100 acres
    you will ambush the 100, then 150, then 200 for 50, 75 and 100 respectively

    Except in war, which depends upon which way you're looking at it.

    A long, long time ago you could do something similar to this because there was a personality that gave you 5 generals in toto instead of 4 (It was warrior or war hero, can't remember which). However, those times went away long ago.
    When the nay-sayers pipe up with talk of exploitation through strategy and planning I'm reminded of a Jack Nickolson quote, "I think of a man, then I remove logic and reason from him"

    I thought that loophole was that you could in fact ambush an army numerous times (failing the first 3 barely, succeeding on the last), killing off their offense very quickly. It happened to go along with the extra general because afterward you could make your normal attack. Kingdoms running defensive elites had a ball...

    i know i had a ball as an avian (yup, this is waaaaaaaaaaay back then) ambushing other avians...

    you would "fail" the ambush 3 times then succeed on the 4th, could kill ~25% of their army this way (if they had TW on... you were in for awesome fun!!!!)
    could then easily hit them before their army got home, often times leaving yourself unbreakable cause you knocked out so much of their offense =)
