Extra tips for your own clan defense

Clan roles
Coordinator: The most experienced clannie, unless he's lagged to pieces. Low level is fine
 
Sentry: Sits outside the clan door to watch raiders and warn clan when raider is ready.
 
Guards : High level players
 
Jailors : If you plan on opening jail doors to let allies out.
Should have some experience, and be ready to suicide. Make space in inv.
 
The rest : Heal/spellup the guards, or stay out of the way.


(RAIDER) flags
Endeavour to give the enemy (RAIDER) flags
They get this when you attack them, or they trade with the shopkeeper
 
Allies can then attack them ANYWHERE, and they lose more exp(400exp) when they die.
 
Area-attack spells (gas,earthquake) are good to
(1)draw all the raiders into combat (if you're a tough SH :)
(2)Give out lots of raider flags
 
Earthquake/Meteor/Ice storm goes through antimagic.
Gas breath,etc. won't engage an anti-magiced player.
 
NEVER cast area-attack spells when allies in the same room are not grouped with you.
It gives THEM raider flags.


A bit about AIR/FLY
Many clans now have their maze flagged as "air" sectors
 
One reason for this is so that corpses float down (usually into jail)
 
The other reason is that you need to FLY to move in air sectors.
 
Therefore, if defenders removed fly, they could not be intimidated.
 
While this applied to raiders, raiders had a hard time cancelling fly,
as they would get aggroed immediately by the guards.
 
Broadly speaking, it is to your advantage to LAND at all times.
 
Most raiders will LAND and WEB. Therefore FLY and DISSOLVE them before intimming.


Neat tricks
Try to figure out who the raider leader is. If you intimidate him, the rest will follow.
    - NB: Smart raiders will follow someone who DOESN'T invade, eg the fido-er.
 
The same repop rules apply - if the clan hall is empty, the guards repop faster.
Wounded guards (even at 1hp) DON'T repop. Heal them or kill them.
 
Group with a similar level clannie, and turn off autoassist.
Go into the guard room, and take turns to intimidate, rescue and heal.
 
Low level cancellation pills/potions work great to cancel fly.
 
There is a lag on the invade command.
On the other hand, you won't see raiders enter if they "sneak".
 
Antimagic scrolls on raiders may sound stupid, but then they can't web themselves....



Illegal tricks
spam opening/closing doors
 
herbaling/cure poisoning raiders (non-raider flagged) outside the door
 
Killing your own key guard(to get rid of the key) MAY be illegal.


After the raid
Ensure allies have all their corpses and stuff back
 
Sweep the maze to pickup stuff and ensure doors are locked
 
Post a polite note thanking allies
 
Get a leader to check if the clan key has gotten out
