AuthorAFK!
Afk's are a major problem in battles especialy group battles. A simple solution would be too alow you to withdraw from a group battle after you join. It can be up to a 30 min wait after joining one and some people dont have the time or paitence to wait and will just go afk or log off after awhile. Afk's have ruined the fun of alot of battles for me and others and actions should be taken to address this.
this has been suggested and can be taken advantage of
Why not just randomly give control of the AFK's units to the partners after 5 turns?
Taken advantage of how? By people leaving if they dont like their team or leaving to get arts? I cant see any negative as bad as a game breaking situation where its a big gamble every single group battle that 1 or even both of your teamates are afk,ensureing your loss.

Another solution would be to click a ready button after all join just before combat starts and combat wouldnt start untill it did.

Or perhaps haveing the option too withdraw after a certain amount of time has passed.

These wouldnt place any penalties on people and wouldnt eliminate all afk but it would reduce it and from my experience so far anything would be better than it is now.
You could leave whenever you are losing.
And there would be no penalty.

What is wrong with that picture?
Theres plenty wrong with that picture but this post isnt about that. Personaly Id like too see biger penalties on afkers but thats not gonna happen. The only major changes can be made before the battle starts.
What if the some one goes afk coz of network or power cut problem you couldn't blame him/her and giving control of your account to others would reduce the fun of this game just think why any other lord's army would hear your command
and going afk means surrending so it's also one perspective of combat but in extreme cases we have some jurisdictions.

¤ Staged combats, paid-for combats, deliberate loses, bad sportsmanship, giveaway combats.
- first infringement, 5,000 gold
- second infringement, 20,000 gold
- third infringement, 50,000 gold
- fourth infringement = character block.
There is possibility of premature block in exceptional cases.

Going afk to surrender also means everyone else has too sit and wait up too a minute for every one of your stacks and when you add moral and such this can be a long time. If the whole team surrenders this can be a considerable amount of time. This is very incosiderate. If you want too give up and surrender do everyone else a favor and just click wait.
I understand people can have network issues. It shouldnt be too hard to notify people when someone goes ld.
there is no way around it. deal with it. i can't see this happening.
a simply solution is leveling up. higher level players usualy experience less afk
I think the best solution is to add a bot (computer player) instead of AFK. It will be hard for admins, but the problem will be over

Already suggested many times, and unlikely. Not only it would be hard to implement, but it would change little.

If AI kicks in after 5 idle turns from a player, his team has probably already lost anyway.
