Combat

Is there a minimum number of troops you need to send or any automatic casualties?

If it matters lets assume a totally undefended town first and then feel free to add any other details... all are appreciated!!

Thanks but I have already read that. It didnt seem to specify what happens when you attack an undefended town or that there are minimum casualties for attacking. It was pretty generic and vague in that area.

I have played a variety of this type of game and they are all a little different. Some will give you no casualties for attacking an undefended town and others will give you automatic casualties to attack anyone because of various reasons such as the villagers defending. Sometimes your army size or troop types can also affect this number...

In order to send an army for a regular attack you need 1 commander in it and 1 unit.

If the town is completely undefended your commander may take a little damage, but you troops should be fine. You commander heals over time - so its not too much of an issue.

As you "won" the battle you will be able to return with the spoils of war (if they are not fully covered in the town's vault). However as you did not engage any real resistance your commander will not gain any experience, nor will you gain any score in the Attack league table.

However the town may be undefended, but protected by runes e.g. fear or slaying. Fear will make you troops not attack and slaying will kill them - the degree depends on the power.
