As the effect is universal and applies to all Troops no matter where they are, it should still be applied to the Troops that are marching towards their target as well.

as klaatu said , that means its doesnt affect on the troops if their already marching towards the target  , ah

yeah speed wont change , but since capacity doesnt change means the offence bonus also wont change or be applied for the troops that are already marching towards a target , 

thanks for making an effort to test it out mate , looks convincing , 

what results i got was absolutely wierd , did nothing wrong , but i will try it out again , this time same city , not different ones , for my own satisfaction i want to test it out , lol

anyways thankyou for sharing the reports which weigh more toward confirming that they should work , 

have a good day !

dmitri! hey there mate , 

i did the test again , here are the results , 

500 javeliners sent to a city , i then launched 100 swords , while they were on their way and about to reach the target , i then turned on dominion , 20% offence enhancer , 25% offence bonus (amphitheatre) , here is the result https://prnt.sc/it36vc

55 swords lost , 267 javeliners killed

second attempt , while these bonuses were already active , 500 javs sent to the same city and 100 swords launched to see the difference , here is the result https://prnt.sc/it36zj

55 swords lost same as previous , however i killed 2 javeliners lesser than the first test , and got 1 point lesser in pvp 

when i had done this test before , i thought you may have been right that its because i had done on different cities it may have manipulated the results , this time i made sure everything was done perfectly and in order , lol

i dont know about you guys , but i think i will activate my bonuses when my troops are about to hit the target from now on! lol

cheers folks

this only shows that there is something wrong in the game here...

you can talk about variables that can affect battle results all day, but the result on both attacks should be the same, and it somehow ain't...

There were changes made in the past, here is our announcement on the matter.

punisher, the guy to whom you asked to send 500 javs might have chnaged his own bonuses as well just to drive you mad lol

I have another remark, that has already been made else where and that is not quite on topic : the city defense bonus does kill some of your off troops when raiding even though there is not a single defending soldier... it shouldn't be the case, as it is supposed to simply increase the strength of defending troops, right ?

Dimitri , with respect you've had a lot of mileage out of that off the shelf answer " it may not work as we expect it to"
