Army

I've finally managed to build up a meager army, I was just wondering if I can only attack other players with it or if there were other things we can attack?

If you see another player's caravan harvesting resources, you can send your army to the resource and if the caravan is there when you arrive, you will kill the caravan.  Of course, this is a good way to earn yourself an enemy.  But you might also "scare" him away from the resource so you can harvest more of it.

You can, but only untill his resources run out. For example: Say I have an army of 100 militiamen. They can carry an X amount of resources per militiaman (think it was 10-20 per militiaman, higher tier can cary more resources. The Military Logitiscs increases this by 50%). So 100* 10 to 20 is 1000 to 2000 resources. But hey, its a player that just started, lvl 1 warehouse, only 500 space per resource. So when I attack him 2 times, I have stolen all of his resources and another attack would simply be useless (or only get the 20 resources he's made during that time). You'd have to wait for his resources to build up again before attacking him again. Or attack some1 else ofcourse.
Also, if he has a vault his resources are protect up until a certain amount. And an army takes only basic resources (Stone, Wood, Iron, Clay and Food)
Also, attack brings more resources then raid, but with attack you go for kiling ALL of his army first, then take resources.
Raid fights his army but sends some soldiers out to steal a few resources and then pull back again.

Well, that's about as clear as I can make it :)

Oh, the resources you take appear to be random to me. Not sure about his though.

I said that :o

What is the purpose of divisions?
