The defender should be provided with a spy report/military summary of the attacker.

And yeah I know it will make retalling easier but the defender should get something out of it other then losing defense/nw.

I think that is a good idea.

It also could make since if you stop their attack you capture some of their army and get a spy op?

you already get to retal and gain free land, that seems like enough to me.

readiness should go down faster on bounces as well.. obviously moral wouldn't be very good after failing an attack

What about if you bounce you lose some resources to the enemy. It should be less than s SS though. And they get at least 1 turn from you.

/saercasm.

I figured since we were making bad suggestions,.....

If you fail your grab on me, all your woman and children are belongs to meh :p
