| @18 in the battle, the one with less troops lost, i guess i am confused, plz explain me what this whole thing of less troops is all about probably with example if possible. |
Also the thief always has the advantage in the fight!
I disagree. Good player is always just one step from the victim to a thief hunter. :-) |
| I used to hate thieves. Now I travel with full arts willing to meet one ;-) |
@20
The player traveling with no troops will be given some monks.
The ambush then proceeds as normal with troop deployment, until one side has all their troops wiped out. |

Few troops = Short fight, no chance that you win, low exp and FPS
Max troops = long fight, small chance that you win, high exp and FPS
It deeps on what you want and how many time you have. |
| oh, so this low troop thing is for ppl who wanna avoid being ambushed and loose lots of gold. |
@26
This low troop thing is for ppl who wanna avoid long battles.
They still can be ambushed, and I believe there is no effect on the amount of gold lost. |
the original purpose of the monks was to match the opponent's level in ambush. back in the past, it was possible, for example, a thief level 6 to meet up to +2 level player. then he/she was given some monks.
however, this was changed somewhere in the end of 2008 (or in the beginning of 2009, can't remember exactly) and now you can meet only same level player in ambush. along with this change, i have noticed, when the thief doesn't get a caravan, the chance to encounter 1 or 2 "victims" now is 50/50. in these cases thief's chance in the battle doesn't exceed 10% even when both ambushed players are in min AP. (considering nobody is afk). |

i was min AP and he had full AP + enchanted but still i was able to do some good stuff...and i gained 0.37 FSP and that's gold for me...low exp and medium FSP...and btw:i'll use the 1 troop trick only when i'll really need a quick battle.I don't feel it's the right thing to do...thieves spend tons of gold to do their work and i don't wanna make them waste them ^^ |

most thiefs give your gold back if you ask for it. |
Also the thief always has the advantage in the fight!
especially this poor fella, who was unfortunate enough to meet my battledancers, hurrying for yellow lake. but they are always obliging to show thieves some elven samba moves :}} |
oops, forgot the fight:

send him a pm asking for gold back?
he didnt win so he didnt stole any gold >.> |
| The fight start because the thief set a trap to you and when you travel you automactly will enter in the fight if you travel with no troops you get some monks to help you fighting the thief. |
