Defense checklist in incoming attack

How it works

• Only reinforcements that reach the village before the attack lands count in the defence; late troops do not change the result.
• Tower posts accept archers only, the Main Gate takes spearmen and heavy cavalry; every soldier on a post adds a defence bonus (see Army → Placing defenders on the wall, towers and main gate).
• After a heavy defeat a recovery shield may be granted automatically: 12 hours of immunity, a 48-hour aid window and repair credits (see First steps → Beginner protection and shields).
• In breach mode the capital is not destroyed; the Khaganate Yurt's integrity drops to 10% and you receive protection for 6 hours ÷ world speed.

Step by step

1. Confirm the village targeted by the attack.
2. Compare arrival time to village defense and alliance reinforcement times.
3. Fill the positions with idle troops and choose the appropriate battle tactic.
4. Open the Alliance call early; only include the supplements that will arrive in time.
5. Check the post-war report, losses, and need for repairs.
