Please clarify this: When two allies attack the city, who get it?

This question has been wandering in the forums. I don't know why nobody had provide an aswer to it.

I though it was the one who send more troops, but after saw this...

Thought this too...

Maybe blue has other cities in the UK?

I think it is just whoever kills the last unit

I as well thought it was the one with the most units. LOL this games always throws curve balls

It is the one killing the last unit... usually this is the person with the most militia (exceptions exist, but good rule of thumb)

According to this screenshot it is not.



I watch that battle. Buffalo's bomber were the ones killing the last unit. However I got the city.

Not the first time that I see, when someone attack his capital with other allies, and if after the battle the guy's original owner still have units, he take the city.

The one that has a unit with a higher defense :s

By that rule and the screenshot above your post, Buffalo should have got the city because infantry have higher defense than militia.

I think I see the issue. In both of the SS above, only bombers were used by your allies to aid in the capture of the cities. Bombers cannot take cities. So if the bomber is the last unit (only unit that attacked as well?) to attack, then it probably goes to whoever attacked last with a unit that can capture a city. Just a theory though. Will need to be tested.

As said above the situation is where two allies attack the same city and have a remainder of their armies after the battle. I would like to know how the computer decides who controls the city. My thoughts are that it would be: random, superior force entering or superior force in the city after the battle. This brings up another question how does the computer decided to defend against in this scenario?

It's decided by the superior force in the city after the battle, but only the land units are taken into account. Not sure I understood the second the question. The computer doesn't decide who to defend against, but the allied players take attacks one by one.

No in my expirience if both players allied the one with the most units will get the city

Correction - with most land units.

Both have the same chances, movement priority doesn't matter.

If those players are allied, the movement priority matters?

No

Clearly something changed.

Not If you have strategy in place as well. fe) PD militia -> But in this case Since the battle is fought over clovis' capital ,clovis will get his capital if his troop survives the battle regardless if his ally troop is this or did this.

15 Infantry + general regardless of strategy will out do 7 PD militia. There have been times when my ally recapped my capital and not me even though I had sufficient units to take it.

It did.

From what I witnessed, the owner always get his capital when recapping with allies. Other than that, since the ally with the most land units doesn't always get the city, we need to test this out to find the factors in cause.
Does last kill or move priority have any incidence?

Just to clarify, you tested it and both last kill and move priority have no incidence?

Yes

Bump

rules seems to be extent of player's capital I guess.....

I think that you will take your cap, or you will take country if you have other cities in that country, but when you dont, maybe its random? idk

I don't remember for sure, but I think it's random.

Wr1tt3n by Ivan, 31.01.2015 at 04:47

I don't remember for sure, but I think it's random.

Couldn't it be changed to a more controllable variable? I.e. size of the stack or amount of ground units?

I believe it's the one with the more attack points for their armada.

So, if that's your homecountry, you will take the city, else is all random.
