"Surprise" Map

[Aquisgran]

Hello,

I spied a barb city to loot their resources in another wave. When I sent the looting troop, I find after a while that there was no "barb city attack", because I "attacked a player". Not only that, he lost all his troops while I lost most of mine because of this bug. I thought for a while that it was a quick capture, but moral was at 100%.

The pictures are self-explanatory. I'm not a crybaby or a "care-bear", but I don't like to lose troops due a bug. Please explain me if there is a non-buggy chance of this fact.

Thank you,
Aquisgran

The city was captured by another player in the time between your two attacks. Note that in the second screen shot the city is no longer shown as a "Barbarian City".

Yes, there is a non-buggy chance you are confusing morale and loyalty. Have a read up in the help section. Only a scholar will tell you the loyalty of a city that isn't your own.
Morale is that of your own troops.

Anyway, if you're farming always send 1 scout so you know whether you left any resources, and unless you don't care, it's quicker to send faster troops separately, as they'll get back sooner so they can go back out again.

Happy looting, keep an eye on the city name when you send, and the confirm screen.

On 11/08 03:21:46VT, you scouting a Barbarian City.

On 11/06 12:16:16VT, you attacked Pafufu City.

During the intervening 9 hours between the two actions, another player capped the barb city and named it Pafufu City.
