Attacking NPC's

I attacked 2 lvl 10 barbarian cities before server reset prompt came up, and they hit during the reset. I got no report, no experience for my heroes, but I did manage to lose all the troops + a couple extra on the one hit that would've usually happened. WTF!!!!

40K archers, 6K scouts, 4K warr, 200 pike, 200 sword, all lost for NOTHING, no food carried home, they just died for NO REASON.

This is absolutely unacceptable, please explain to me why this is allowed to happen?

hmm ,two lvl10 hits, you lost ALL troops and that is just 40k archers?

40k arch? are you crazy - of course you lost...

1. do not launch an attack to npc right before maintenance
2. even if theres no maintenance, u'll lose ur army anyway...its just not enough :devil:

That is why I included in my guide "(DO NOT I SWEAR DO NOT ATTACK AN NPC BEFORE SERVER MAINTENANCE OR YOU WILL BE RISKING YOUR HERO, TROOPS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SENT.)"
