Unfair Raid!

[Kincore]

So I have a problem, I attacked a guy ( RegnumNovae_Belda ). He was unarmed and had 123 tickets with 4000 crates, so I decided to attack him.
As I checked a few minutes again I saw that he has a shiny army and 437 tickets and how one of his clanmate was moving to him.

So how can it be and why the fuck he can get equipment if he is in a battle ?!

There's a five-hour reinforcement period.

[Haboe]

In the first 5 hours after yo uget attacked (the reinforcement-window) other players can send stuff to you (gold, troops and equipment). You cannot send stuff yourself (if you get attacked with crates on you, you can't send them to a clanmate that comes to help).

Same goes for fiefs.

That means that I can't do anything against it ? Just hoping that there will just show a few up ?

Yep. You are doomed  Reinforcement windows are important part of the tacticts in Strat...

Attackers get 1 hour (maybe 2 now, pretty sure it's just one though) to reinforce after they initiate an attack.  If you attack a fief you can change from siege to raid in this time.  Defenders get 5 hours to reinforce after being attacked (as others have already pointed out).

There's quite a few strategus guides and info in these forums, and you can always jump in a faction's teamspeak and ask for information (or say "hey I'm going to do this, anything I should know about it?")

Also it's good etiquette to + someone's post who provides you good feedback (even if it's not the answer you're looking for).

I'm pretty sure the attacker's reinforcement window is two hours from the time of attack, and the defenders have 5 hours.  Adding nighttime changed this, as it also affects the reinforcement window.  The attackers can reinforce up until 22 hours before the battle itself, and defenders up until 19 hours before the battle.  That means, in the extreme case, defenders can have a whole 13 hours to reinforce.

That's correct for defenders but i think attackers still only have 2 hours regardless of night times or delayed battles

This.

Alright, I understand. I won the battle so, it's okay. Next time I will try to attack clanless traders
