War Room

Types of Attacks
Attacks	Effects
Traditional March	This attack, if successful, takes away a portion of the target's land (base ~12%), and gives it to the attacker when his/her army returns. The target's size in acres, Relative Networth and the Relative Kingdom Networth are factored in to determine the amount of land taken.
Raze	This attack, if successful, destroys a portion of the target's land (~5%). During war, this attack only destroys buildings (~30%).
Plunder	This attack, if successful, will steal a portion of the target's money, food and runes, and deliver it to the attacker.
Learn	This attack, if successful, will steal a portion (~2.5%) of target's allocated books plus a portion (~30%) of the target's unallocated books. Part of the stolen allocated books will be destroyed. A portion of the stolen allocated books will become unallocated for the source to re-allocate. During War, Learn reduces the effectiveness of target's science (~7.5%) for the entire duration of the war. Learn attacks during war also stack, so two learn attacks will decrease the target's science effectiveness by 14.4375% (-7.5% = 0.925 effectiveness. 0.925 * 0.925 for second attack. 0.925 * 0.925 * 0.925 for third attack, etc.)
Massacre	This attack, if successful, will kill a small percentage of the target's peasants, thieves and wizards. Greatly enhanced in War.
Conquest	This attack, like Traditional March, will, if successful, take away a portion of the target's land and give it to the attacker. However, the attacker is only required to send 51% of the target's defence to be successful. The land gained, on the other hand, will be significantly lower than Traditional March. Sending more than 51% will return higher gains up to a certain limit.
Ambush	This attack can only be performed against a target which has recently attacked the province seeking to ambush with a successful land attack, and whose army has not yet returned home. If successful, this attack will return 50% of the acres stolen. The defending army will defend at only 80% efficiency, and no other military modifiers are taken into account. Offensive specialists defend at the normal defensive strength of their defense specialists. Neither Anonymous attacks or War Spoiled attacks can be ambushed, and you cannot ambush a failed hit.
