Welcome, new lords — before you send troops, open the rally details and check the required troop tier, troop count, and march time against what your keep can actually provide. If one requirement is missing, hold your march and ask the rally lead rather than guessing, because a partial answer can cost more than waiting.

I am keeping my own host under strength tonight, so I will not spend these swords helping BMJ while my gates can be safely closed — that is not cowardice, it is knowing what the keep can afford. You should make the same check before every rally, especially after healing or changing formations.

If the rally has a minimum requirement, meet it before sending, then confirm your march is still moving after the lead changes targets. Welcome to the hall — ask before you commit troops, and nobody worth following will mock you for protecting your keep.
