Apparently the raid troops count too.

Seems this is a trick enabling you to house more reinforcements than your Inn can hold.

I suppose a way to tell is to set such up, get hit, then looks at the stats / troops involved. If they are more than your own plus Inn, then the raid troops matter / participated.

If you are able to confirm this, please write so, here. It is an interesting question.

Actually ... this shouldn't be too hard to test. Empty your Inn. Send all your troops elsewhere as reinforcements to some shielded order mate. Set up a raid to go as long from now as possible. Get someone to send 1 troop in attack. Check out your battle stats.

Let us know, please.

yes, raid troops also defend your town if it is attacked.

It used to be that raid troops didn't show if your town was scouted, but they are included now.

Thank you for that, I remembered something about that - your comment nails it down for me.

If you start a raid, and are attacked, the whole raid gets dismissed if you lose all the troops you sent to the raid. Any troops left over belonging to other players return to their home.

So, working exactly the same as reinforcements do?
