So..you want to start a battle?
Best way to do that is to go to our confimations board and let us know and the battle moderators will sort it all out.
Battles are conducted by sending your turn to the battle mod who will put it on a grid and post on the Current Battles board. To make battling easier, we use co-ordinates for moves, but not all moves are the same.
If you are on the:
Road - Normal Unit(3) Horses(4)
Grass - Normal Unit(3) Horses(4)
Desert/Rugged Landscape/Swamp - Normal Unit(2) Horses(3)
Forest/ Hill - Normal Unit(2) Horses(3)
Water - (3)- Have to be on ships. If not, cross via bridges.
The maximum amount of troops also changes depending how many cities you own.
Level 1 - owning upto 2 cities - upto 2,000
Level 2 - owning upto 5 cities - upto 5,000
Level 3 - owning upto 9 cities - upto 9,000
Level 4 - owning upto 12 cities - upto 15,000
Level 5 - owning upto 15+ cities - upto 18,000
(Lieges add an extra 2,000 troops)
