Sorry I am still a bit confused with the new military exercises for this age.

It says you don't need a general as attacker. Does that mean I can just send offence out without actually targeting another tribe, as in as self op like TA or Napo? So this won;t show in the news and can only be discovered by Intercept?

If it does look similar to a self op, could you send out multiple offence exercises at the same time but of the same kind of exercise? like 5 times 20% of your max raw offence on draft

Also to confirm;

Sending 30% of you max offence for a draft ex will give you the same gains as sending 20% right?

And the return times are the same as the attack time for each race? Considering it's a self “op”?

@ Tommies, Yes to all three.

- For attackers you can do all three at once. Non-attackers can only do one at once. It is essentially a self op/spell but for attackers. It does not target another player.


- If you send 20% you get maximum gains. Sending more still results in the same gains as sending 20%. Lower returns fewer gains.


- Therefore max combat science will decrease the duration by 1 hour as attack time decreases by 1 hour. Ravens for example will only ever get 2 hours on Martial Law.

Thanks Scarlet

Attacks

Hit n Run
Old: 4% defender losses.
New: 6% defender losses

This is not yet functioning? In reality only 1.5% defender losses. (Maybe because defender is Raven, so losses also 75%?) Sorry no screenshot Vision and other target info.

pillage still completely worthless

Pillage should not do half damage OOW. Who is gonna pillage in war?

I was not aware it got 50% when oow. Looking into it.

i'll save anyone who reads this thread some time. don't use pillage
if you are in any way competing with the goal of furthering your tribe
and/or your alliance. it should be removed or drastically revamped.
