In as much as, there is no way to avoid receiving a BATTLE REPORT and in the interest of LEVELING the playing field - until the Admins & Techies figure a way to keep BATTLE REPORTS private to the attacker & defender ONLY -

Or someone can share the info on how to defeat the one Warrior Attack and the information posted in BATTLE REPORTS . . .

I offer this TACTIC for general knowledge -

Recently, ALLIANCE cities (those that are IN an ALLIANCE - generally a weaker ALLIANCE) have been attacked by 1 lone Warrior, 100% of the time by a supposed noob also in an ALLIANCE - but a stonger one with 3 or 4 SISTER BRANCHES.

The city WINS the BATTLE with the lone Warrior getting killed by a TRAP - of course, why wouldn't happen any other way.

The ATTACKEE (the one being attacked) gets an ALARM from their BEACON TOWER stating that there are Ballistas, Battering Rams, CATAPULTS and such attacking...

PANIC sets in - OH (fill your own expletive)!

Long story short:
ATTACK occurs
DEFENDERS defend
BATTLE is over in 1 round

Lone Warrior gets killed

The DEFENDER sighs in relief and starts laughing!

"Silly noob - " he/she thinks they can ATTACK with just 1 Warrior...

The smart DEFENDER informs his HIGHER UP of the incident.

One or more of three (or more) things happen next:

1) The HIGHER UP tells the DEFENDER to sit tight and it will be handled in a DIPLOMATIC fashion -

2) The HIGHER UP tells the DEFENDER to a) SCOUT and/or b) ATTACK and/or c) Do nothing.

3) The DEFENDER (more than likely a noob also) RETALIATES on his/her own without contacting anyone.


If #1 is followed:
More likely than not, the OFFENDING noob's (could be a seasoned player in noob clothes) ALLAINCE HIGHER UP apologize for the incident and blames it on noobness.

If #2 is followed:
a) SCOUTING is a normal repercussion and is expected.
However, it may provoke an incident (WAR).
b) An ATTACK is sure to result in a WAR.
c) Probably the more intelligent option, at this time.

If #3 is followed:
All out WAR is declared (by either side) & the weaker ALLIANCE is ATTACKED all at once and eliminated...

Back to #1:
a) This was NOT the act of some silly noob.
b) Any apology give is just wind being blown up your bottom.

And the most important thing:

c) The OFFENING ALLIANCE now has a COMPLETE - COMLPETE recon of the ATTACKED person's TOTAL RESOURCES, DEFENSE & TROOPS to the last grain of FOOD without having to Level up a SCOUT to do the work - Which takes time & RESOURCES -

OR

Tip their hand that this IS a pre-strike RECON PATROL.

All it cost was 1 Lone Warrior and an apology.

"Canadians can easily 'pass for American' as long as we don't accidentally use metric measurements or apologize when hit by a car." -

Regardless, 1 Lone Warrior ATTACK will get you ALL of the information you need about an foe - with little expense.

Now, EVERYONE - get out there and use the Lone Warrior ATTACK!!!

Read the BATTLE REPORT of the ATTACK & you too can save face by apologizing.

Praise The Lord Almighty and call out the ARCHERS!

And for you heathens out there, do whatever it is that you do and may your invisible god/goddess smile upon you.
