How do I steal resources from neighboring castles? The game says I can but I have no idea how to.

You need to attack someone and win the battle to take resources.

Can change Outpost location

[1668369] Arachne2 [None] :: Nov. 20, 2013, 3:30 p.m.
Can you move your outposts?

[1668372] Lord Porky [None] :: Nov. 20, 2013, 3:36 p.m.
Nope, you can only move your castle in 'Empire.'

If you place soldiers in a Stronghold, they will not attack or defend. The stronghold saves your soldiers from being killed. Use the stronghold for strong or rare units, such as bear/lion troops, horror troops (if you are a low level)

if you attack a castle and it has purple skull and crossbones is that the plague and will your army suffer?

[1668601] Lord Porky [None] :: Nov. 21, 2013, 1:27 a.m.
No, the Plague only hurts the castle where it's at.

I know there are limits as to how much loot you can steal from a castle/robber baron. Does anyone actually have an idea/breakdown of which levels give how much loot? Don't want to send a whole lot of unnecessary loot carts if they won't get used. :) thanks!

How do I OR where do I use the construction list to build multiple buildings one after another ?

You need to build a construction crane( costs 7100 rubies).It will give you an additional construction slot.If you upgrade it to lvl 2 you get another slot.

It depends on how many soldiers you use.and also 1 soldier has a limit. a two handed sword can carry 28 loot and a crossbowman can carry 22.easy.the more soldiers u use the more loot.unless the defender has many hideouts

OK, this is probably REALLY dumb, but I'm brand new. Sending out spies to 1 - 4 and get no reports OR I cannot FIND the reports. Where do I look and thanks!

thanks for the reply moodoo. I saw that each soldier can only carry a certain amount of loot, but even if you sent a thousand guys and a whole bunch of loot carts, there's a limit to how much loot you can get, no? otherwise it would be extremely easy for high lvl players (that don't care about honour or glory) to attack lower lvls with a whole bunch of soldiers, lose very few and raid almost their whole castle.

That's exactly what happens, sometimes. And when at war, there is the "wartime looting bonus" - you can raise the level of it for your alliance by contributions, and it maxxes out at 100%.

Sending 1040 or 1280 soldiers are standard attacks for higher level players, and while you might not totally clean out a castle, your guys can bring back full loads.

When at war, if you select "Food" for the looters to concentrate on, for example, the bonus means you sometimes have more Food coming back than you can store. It goes over 100,000 all the time.... ^^

Hi, I have a question.

When I send troops to an alliance member, can they use those troops like their own if they want to attack someone else?

For example, an alliance member wants me to send him some of my two handed swordsmen so he can attack someone. I have no problem with this but I always thought that the support troops only help protect the castle they go to (defence against incoming attacks).

Thanks

i'm sure that they only can use the support for defence...not for attacking...

One of my objectives under the title "fresh meat" calls for me to improve my defensive capabilities. It asks me to own a tar kettle (which I do) and this part is completed. The other part asks me to "own archers" and although I keep building bowmen this part of the objective remains incomplete. Where am I going wrong?

When you log in the daily reward comes up, I had the bag's today and I got 10 traveling crossbowmen in one of them, Are the prizes supposed to get better or are they just random, because to me that seems like a pretty good prize for a sack.

I've been on the "best" chests for a long time and only ever get 10 rubies when I get rubies. On my USA1 account, I got the sacks, one of the prizes was 50 rubies, I think that they're trying to make you get better prizes the more inactive you are to try and get you back into playing - the same way RBC attacks happen.
