Title: How long is protection after attack? Is it working at all?
Post by: dodnet on October 02, 2012, 11:00:52 am
I won a fight this morning and was heading for the next village. Time to arrival < 1h (0.9x or something). Now I am attacked 34m before that village, still within the hour. Is there any protection after a battle at all and how long does it last? IMHO battle protection should be increased by some time (2h) as currently you can pin down someone with that for days or even weeks.

The battle over those few goods is taking 5 days already. I got the feeling that attacking isn't even worth it, because you lose a lot of gear you have to rebuy and can't even sell looted gear, because its worthless. But you lose a lot of time you can spend trading...

I Hate the cracked and rusty items, even more i hate that i had +3 heraldic armors, after 1 battle they were  normal... or -1 broken..... would love normal gear without this huge breaking after one small battle.

After attacking you don't have protection, but if you have been attacked you have like 5 hours.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up.

And yes... all that broken stuff is annoying. I have some items in 3 or 4 different conditions, all show up as single items on the equipment... its a mess. Its not sorted or anything and selling all that stuff is no real option, as you don't get no money for it.

This has not been the case for SWF. No matter what, we are locked in INSTANTLY after the attack is declared.

I know the defender in strat 3 used to have an hour after being attacked before they could be attacked again, and I thought it was the same for the attacker.

I'm calling shenanigans until I see some proofs.

In strat 4 I was about to attack a guy who had won a battle like 4 hours ago, fuck protection time.

The time after winning a defence is exactly 60 minutes.
The time after winning an attack is zero minutes.

Damn... 1h seems to be really short. As you most likely lose some troops and loot some gear, you move even slower than before the battle. So escaping within 1h is almost impossible...
