Topic: [288174] Foreign Castles can't attack them

You need to remove the gem that increases the troups on the flanks or use a commander that doesnt contain an increase of troups on the flanks ....................simple

I've removed the gems, removed the commanders that increase troops on the flanks, and even used 1/2 the troops allowed, and it still will not allow me to send out an attack.  It will also not allow me to attempt to fix the problem--it deletes what I've put up so I can't just edit that.  I have to start over.  I've not been able to send out an attack all day.  This is in addition to the other issues so the day has been unproductive.  Most of the alliance has not been able to play today at all due to game issues.

Not so simple!  I m level 20; no gems.  And I have tried all my generals.  None of them will work....  Even when I drop my flanks to match them, or even much lower.  Tried to send out the minimal and still got the error.

Well, if your not as screwed as i am.. Trial and error
ill demonstrate below


LVL 33 enemy










In this case, dont add more than 40 men on each flank 







There that worked for me. Nor more .. and def not less.. Heroes can then improve or decrease the numbers you can have. Test that your self

Thanks mate really helps first attack on its way

The time for these attacks is unreal.  Please fix this also.  It took over 2 hours to get to a Foreigner that was 5 clicks away.  Ugggh.

The foreign castles are all set to 50 clicks from you main castle and ops. They have always been like this and I don't see then changing it.

Hey guys,

Yep, we're aware of this issue and currently working to get it fixed. Thanks for letting us know, and apologies for the problems caused!

Regards,

Steve.

There is also a bug with the travel and attack times. It's been pointed out in another 100 threads about it this week. 

Well excuse me.  I am a member, not a mod.  I don't read 100 threads a week.  Rude.

ahhhhhhhhh im getting ready to quit the game over this.gge are you ever going to fix this ?its been going on a long time.

I may have found a way to get around this problem. I was having the issue with FC as well as RBCs and barbarian towers. What happens is the game seems to remember data from your previous attacks and keeps the flank and front numbers and slots data for higher level enemies when you are attacking lower level enemies. This is seen in the example where the OP is attacking a lvl 33 FC and it says in the battle setup that it is lvl 50. To get around this, I have a few steps that work for me.

FIRST: you must first spy your enemy.

SECOND: you must go to the castle that you spied and click on the espionage report.

THIRD: click the bullseye in the report that has the numbers and types of troops listed.

FOURTH: set up your attack as usual.


I have found that even if you spy a castle, the error can still occur if you just attack without going through the spy report: Do not use this bullseye to attack, or you will encounter the error.
