Topic: How to report you are being attacked (Directive) [by Rastus]

As soon as you see an incoming attack against one of your villages, go into the rally point of the village being attacked and copy all the information from that page, for example, this what 2 incoming attacks look like:

Joe Attack against 01 Howdy
troops ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Arrival in 18:15:42 hrs. at 08:47:38 pm

Fred Attack against 01 Howdy
troops ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Arrival in 18:17:05 hrs. at 08:49:01 pm

With this information copied, now go to the Rise Attack Reports forum and create a new post and paste this information in the body.

Add the subject "Player X attacking Your Name" and then add the granary capacity and current crop level to the body below the pasted info (Do not miss this step!)

Add any additional information you think is relevant, ie, if you know why they are attacking you and then submit the post.

If this is an ongoing series of attacks, just add the post to the thread already present in the Rise Attack Reports forum, but, if this is a new attack entirely make a new thread for it.

One new step: Once you've created or edited the Attacks forum thread copy and paste the URL (control C) then create a duplicate post in the Rise News Bulletin and paste the URL at the bottom (control V)

Always report incoming attacks as soon as possible - ie, when you first notice them. Ensure your granary capacity is up to the minimum standard for your population and it is a good idea to raise it further if you have incoming attacks.

Stay relatively active during the time it takes for the attack to arrive, don't go off for a long weekend without finding a sitter.

Note - If the alliance has mobilized reinforcements for you, make sure you log in within minutes after the attack to be able to send everyones reinforcements home. This step is important even if it means setting the alarm at 3am. Your the one being defended, it is only manners that you lose some sleep rather than half dozen other people all lose sleep on your behalf.
