Counterattack?
 

What does it do? I don't want to click button that could very well send all my soldiers to losing fight :P

not a clue I don't attack other ppls fortress.

Somebody attacked me and in Mail > Battles when I click on one of fortress attacks it gives me options Show Combat and Counterattack! Im curious but I don't want to risk.

I looked at my battle mails I assume it lets you set up a counterattack. Which makes attacking someone back easy but tbh if someone can beat me when I am at max troops I most likely cant beat them when they have max troops.

Not sure if I should add this here or start a new thread, but here goes anyway.
I would like to know how the protection works on a counter attack? Reason for me asking is due to the amount of attacks I got yesterday. From one player I got attacked 5 times. Two of which happened five minutes apart. Is there something that I am missing on how attacks happen on the fortress?

Well counterattack takes you directly to the person who attacked you intead of having to search for opponent every 5 min (or pay with gold). if you attacked this person before,they could've saved those fights and used counterattack option to attack you multiple times. Protection is 8 hours but youre still visible but only your unclaimed resources are at risk.

as far as I'm concerned, you can only use the counterattack once.

Yes I believe you can only use once for each mail so if u had like 2 or 3 you could attack someone 2 or 3 times. Now that is if I understand it correctly I don't attack anyone so tbh I don't know if that is really the case or not.

It's once per mail.

What would happen if you saved one of those lost fights and the person that attacked you decided to join your guild? would it still work?
