So, looks like my kingdom got into slightly hotter water than we realized. And I, with one of the biggest offenses, just got cut in half within 3 hours. Don't know how long they will keep it up, but they've got a spread so I'm still in danger.

So, my strat question... what, personally, can I do here? I've got 8 hours till my land comes in and everything becomes kinda ok... how to I limit the damage till then? And once I do have land in... how to I get back in the main war? I assume I ambush everyone I can - get lots and lots of land back that way for the offense spent, but what else?
Also, what are the thresholds where attacks, thieves, and magic turn off? I didn't see those numbers in the guild, though I know I've seen the info somewhere before about exactly how desertions work... anyone know where that stuff is?
