Thanks for any and all info, i think its a simple question.
the example is as follows- player A sends 1000 scouts to attack or scout my city, now two minutes behind scouts, player A has sent 100,000 archers.
i set my castle to defend, and my superior force takes on the scouts, i've noticed that time in the view section of attacks goes into the minus (-333seconds), therby the 100,000 archers 2 minutes behind are catching up while my troops are still fighting the scouts, is this right? cannot i set to defend against scouts and then set troops to hide in sanctuary to hide from the massive force of archers bearing down on me?
i guess the question goes to timing of a defending against a attack? does this question make sense?
