Quick Question (invasion)

triangle

This is a quick question, but I'm having an unusually hard time finding an answer. The question being:
When foreign empire castles are attacked, do they change their defensive setup to deal with your attack?
It's rather odd, but it appears to have happened to me once, but not another time, so I'm rather confused:(

Hi there,

The Foreign castles act just like live players. This means that they can receive support and they can change their set up.

I hope this helps!

For me they never have chanced setup. Once setup chanced, but that was during maintanence, and whole castle has chanced, and my attack still got fight

Good to know, thanks
However, I must ask then what causes them to change their setup, or, to put it another way, on what information the invaders base their new setup?
Is it just on the amount of tools and troops? Is it on the quality of those troops or tools? Is it just random or are there presets?

It depends on when you attack. If you attack when most of Spain is offline, then most likely, the setup won't change. If you attack when most of Spain is online, then most likely, the setup will change.

I'm pretty sure the changed setup depends on how real players reacted to attacks similar to yours.

Last time the invaders were here - no set up changes, but support did happen. So is this a change?

setups will change and supoort will come - just like fighting a "live" player in your own world

I would like a CoMa to verify this.

We've defended hundreds of these in the different servers I've played on... all the players on the forums seem to imply they are also all defending with 100% success...

and yet all of us attacking and all the attack reports I read from this event and last had no losses nor suddenly 3-6k defenders.

So how is this anomaly possible?


ETA: I don't mean to say you're wrong... but I'm fairly certain you're very wrong.

My guess as to what's happening when defenses change is that sometime between when you spied and when you landed, the mirrored castle that the castle on your server is there to represent was "attached" to a different castle entirely, so you are not in fact attacking the same mock castle you set out to attack... and it's not defended nor changed... just different.

Last time GGE said they cant change defenses but receive support. But now they can. Make up your mind already.

Ouch... not that I disagree...

Anyways, the setups do change. They also receive support. You were just lucky you didn't have any of that happen to you. I attacked last time, and they went from 100-0-0 to 50-0-50.
