No res gained by attack on certain players?

There are a few people in my alliance that have found that attacking certain players results in no resources being captured even though scouting before and afterward show that there are ample resources. We have cranny break skills upgraded so that is not an issue. This happens repeatedly with the same exact players but never other players. What is going on here?

One problem could be that you guys are not sending enoug troops or they are just being killed. LEAST likely there would be a bug or hacking player.
Hopefully i helped a bit

you might not send enough troops or not have a big enough warehouse or maybe the players have high defense

If the person knew they were being attacked, they probably upgraded everything they could and then trained troops with the excess resources. I've done this before, and as long as you train the troop type that uses whatever resource you have the most of (ie, cats use a lot of wood), your cranny should protect the remainder and the attacker will get nothing.

What they said^

You also have to remember that the break cranny skill is a percentage of the 100K resources protected in their cranny and not the total of their warehouse (Sylarius explains this best). So if they have under 100K resources there's a slim chance of getting much especially if they're online and use up their resources.

I'll recap
-could have upgraded or trained troops to a point where resources are lowered and protected by their cranny. Break cranny will only take to a maximum of half of their cranny. So the most you'll ever obtain of any resource is 399,300 if their cranny is maxed and your break cranny is maxed. You'll get higher than that from high level forts and if the opponent has low cranny, but high resources and warehouse.
-troops have a maximum carrying capacity. If you don't have enough total carrying capacity to carry what you obtain, then you won't get all of it or even potentially any of it.

Tip: the person may have built troops to lower their resources. Keep checking them and you might catch troops home. It's just as likely that the person upgraded traps, turrets, or a building/resource though.

I think you guys missed the most important way to remove resources. When a player has a larger army than the player attacking he still has the ability to sell his resources into the marketplace. Although I will probably go with the he used all his resources to make inf (inf is near balance of all resources so best way to clear)

The system doesn't always let me sell to the market rico. :'(
Several others have noticed this also. As well as the fact that sometimes you can sell resources to the market. I however, have not tried this since the update. Perhaps my info is outdated.

I've been attacked by 1 "threatening" infantry and haven't been able to sell anything..
This is news to me, I'll try it again and see..

Is that a bug? Anyone know the expected behavior or selling resources while under attack? (I've never been able to do it)
