Having been in a few alliances now i have noticed that there is a lot of bad very practice when it comes to reporting attacks. So here's a guide to show you how to let others in your alliance know about an attack:
This is relevant for both when you are being attacked, and when you are making a conquest attempt.
When you are being attacked it is important that you provide your alliance with relevant information so that they can help you.
When you see that you are being attacked you need to tell them; who is attacking you, which city they are attacking from, the exact time (in GMT+0) they will arrive in your city, and what type of attack you think they are making.
Report it like this so it is easy to understand:
Name: Cai Tzu
City: Bob's Town
Arrival: 03/12/2010 @ 22:06:13 or Fri 3rd @ 22:06:13
Type: Conquest or Normal Attack
The more information you provide, and the better you present it, the more likely it is that your alliance will be able to help you.
When making a conquest attempt use almost the same format.
Conquest Attack Arrives:
Name: Cai Tzu
City: John's Town
Arrival: 03/12/2010 @ 22:06:13 or Fri 3rd @ 22:06:13
If you dont know the exact time the conquest arrives (ie before you launch) the put the arrival as: 'Fri 3rd @ 22:00:00 approx'.
Once you know the exact time (after the conquest attack has been launched) then delete the 'approx' and alter the time to the correct, exact, time.
I keep emphasising the 'exact' time because a couple of seconds each way can mean the difference between your allies clearing the city for you or your allies breaking your siege of the city.
Here's a pic to guide you on how to work out the exact timing:
This works the same for when you are being attacked and when your are conquering.
Go to the city that is being attacked, or from where you have launched the conquest attack ('A' in the image is the symbol that tells you that you're under attack).
Once there click on the city name located at 'B'
Then window will pop up and this tells you:
C = player attacking you (info from opposite side if you are conquering)
D = city attacking you (info from opposite side if you are conquering)
E = this is the exact time of arrival (to the second)
F = this is the remaining travel time and you do not need to report this. In fact it is vitally important that you dont get this and the exact time mixed up!!
IF YOU NEED HELP, MAKE IT AS EASILY READABLE AS POSSIBLE. THAT WAY YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO RECEIVE HELP!!!
