How to check for invisible attacks :
Helps to avoid trap in outer domains, salt lakes, grails, etc, and save your troops from being wiped off. :)
It is done by joining your own, ally, or clanmate's attack, and comparing visionary report with what you see in missions launch window:
launch attack
It doesn't have to be robbery attack like on screenshot, any type would do.
- vision and make a note of ongoing attacks (in this case there is mine only)
- then try joining, and pay attention to the number in parentheses next to nickname in a drop down menu, it shows a total number of attacks besides the one you are joining.
If it was a grail or lake seizure, I could have gotten into a trap, when invisible player with strong army seizes right before me, and all my troops die upon arriving.
