I had this happen to me yesterday during the Kingdom Event. Some big guy ported in on me, all high and mighty, trying to attack me but I destroyed him. He had two full marches of T3 and I only had one full march. He ported in and sent his first full march at me, but I could tell from his power (16 mil) that he had probably had more than one march. As I assumed, he sent a second march immediately after his first. So, just before his first march hit me I sent my troops to occupy the nearest tile, immediately after his first march hit my castle I recalled my troops so they would arrive before his second march.
KEY: I did this because I knew his HERO would be in his first march making it much stronger.
His second march hit me and I killed 75k of his 200k troops, while he only hospitalized 20k of mine. WIN WIN WIN! Get wrecked son. That will teach him to mess with the almighty Navigator. He didn't send any more troops after that 😉
