Why do foiled mage battles count as a failed defence for you?

I have no idea, but it sounds weird.

do you mean when someone attacks you, or the other way around?

He means the other way around.

Someone attacks me via mage battle, he fails and the attack foils, why does it count as a failed defence for me? Same thing happens at ME so is it just the code?

i think that there are two types, one where the attackers spies are foiled! and then another when they actually beat the defenders spies (or, in another word, loose a battle with the spies), yet, do not succeed in taking land, murder...etc...
if the attackers spies actually penetrate and loose a battle with the attackies spies, then i can see how that is a failed defense.
but if the attackers are foiled, then i cannot see how then the defender should loose that one. (or, as artus put it, count as a failed defence)

in essence, it must be the code

but i do think if the spies do penetrate and yet, still fail to gain anything from thier attack, that should count as a failed defence against the defender.
it is when the spies are foiled! that it should not.

Because its counted as an action against you. Thats what the code is set to recognize, so it counts it as part of the limit.

Depending where the problem is, it may/not need to be fixed. Not a problem here, but if its being abused at ME it should get looked at.

Nothing new to anyone though.

the only thing i can think of that would show that is if you are attacked by mages for land and the mages penetrate your defenses but fail to get the land because ur mages stop them then it will show as a failed attack and failed defense.

ie the msg the attacker would get is ur spies successful penetrate the defense however the opponents spies prevent you from taking anything.

i think i got that right

Failed defense as in you didn't stop it? If that's the case then a definate bug.

Agreed. I'll look into it... or rather I'll look into it on Friday if nobody else has yet.
