Topic: [286829] Espionage and attack times increasing?

[-286829] Jwb52z (US1) [None] :: Oct. 10, 2015, 7:40 p.m.

For some reason today, all my espionage and attack times are hugely larger than they were just yesterday. Did some update cause this now?

are you spying and attacking the same things? and did you remember stables?

I am spying first and then attacking and yes I use stables. For example, what would have taken about 8 to 10 minutes for an attack yesterday takes between 20 minutes to an hour now.

what i meant by the first part was are you spying and attacking the same things as yesterday. if you spied and attacked something yesterday, but then picked a different target today, there are tons of obvious reasons for time differences.

-if your spying and attacking from a different castle then before, the time will be different.
-if your spying and attacking a different castle from before, time will be different
-some objects have a "fixed distance", like nomad camps and foreign lords, meaning they will always be X miles from any of your castles, no matter how far away they appear on the map
-if your using different troops from before, some have a huge speed difference. some troops can move at a speed of 75 (very good), some go as slow as 5 (bad tools and such) and the armies move the pace of the slowest item, meaning 1 bad troop or tool slows the whole army

The troop bit might explain it. I had to go back to using slightly "lesser" troops to be able to get enough recruited in time to finish certain attacks and such. Thank you.

Maybe you had Vip mode on, it significantly increases attack travel speed.
