Pressing Attack from main menu shows your Attack Bracket (AB).

* At the top will be your last target, or last opponent targeting you within last 5 minutes, if any.
* Next are your Adversaries or the time until the adversaries will return.
* Third is the list of other players who match your Attack Criteria

Starting an Attack will open an a message box .

* As you get new messages it will scroll up, so use refresh to move to bottom of feed or scroll lock to keep it accessible.
* The message box shows
	+ Seize Target, if one has been selected, and your attack Target.
	+ Your Gold, Army size, and Current/Max Army Power
	+ Your vassals and their Current/Max Power
	+ Heal cost in gold. 1 gold heal 1 vassal for 5 damage

Once a raid is successful your will have access to Seize, Conquer, or Pick a seize target options.

* Sometimes, your target is not found in the defense that has been weakened. This means that the intended target is in one of the remaining two defenses.

## Army Configurations

### **Trapper Safe (Standard Attack)**

* Top vassals with one maid/squire (squirrel). If you are attacking rivals (live players) you should keep a squirrel in your army configuration to prevent your higher power vassals from being trapped.
* /army\_trapper or /army\_trapper\_dangerous or /army\_trapper\_anythingelse

### **Trapper check**

* This is a preset configuration under the expert settings replaces your army vassals with a single squirrel to attack. If you hit a rival with a trapper check configuration, your squirrel will be trapped if they have a trapper set.
