Has anyone been attacked yet from the -90 factions?
I don't always drink. But when I do, I prefer the blood of my enemies.

Gosh I hope you are wrong dung...those parameters you already figured out but I hate to say with AI in other games they often behave in simple decision patterns unless the coder included a random in making a decision such as a dice roll....hint hint...something I have been suggesting to be used in all military functions...let's have a less predictable game! let's make it challenging!

The combat AI certainly needs some variability, as I don't think the results are always realistic.
I have never understood how a city could be attacked (not a seige) using troops that couldn't engage the defenders behind the walls. Sending cavalry and infantry against city walls is a little silly and without seige towers and ladders, it ought not to be possible to attack a city if they hide inside.

Do you have a report to share?  I've been watching the area, they're moving between buildings as far as I've seen, but of course I'm not here 24 hours a day.
3 of those armies are mine :D

I've still not seen any attacks at the Tower.
I have currently have 3 armies there.  
One will be heading home within the hour the other 2 have 4 & 8 days remaining.

Wondering if my armies were too large so I'm sending a small sacrificial patrol to see it the Shadow Mages are feeling brave :-).  They'll be landing on a spot where there is currently a Tower camp, I fully expect them to have moved by the time my troops arrive ( otherwise my guys are dead)   http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/Map/528/-2933

Currently they're occupying the buildings, in rotation, they're not often unoccupied.  One group camps, then moves on, another group moves in.  There has been a bit of merging in the same place and partial withdrawal from a spot too.  (ie 2 groups on the same spot at one time, then one of the groups leaves)

My small sacrificial army have arrived near the Tower early this morning.  
The neighbours seem quite friendly ... thinking of inviting them over for drinks.
