Remember, it is your responsibility as a defender to check every battle report sent to you and make sure it is correct. This means more than simply verifying the units listed in the battle report - you ought to re-enter battles in WarBOT yourself to confirm that the probabilities are right.
For instance, suppose an elephant and a light infantry go after a griffin in a city with 2 builds. The following WarBOT report *looks* genuine:
CHEAT: Terrain: Enemy city 1 or 2 prod CHEAT: CHEAT: BONUS Total Fortify non hero -enemy city Cancel CHEAT: AT 0 0 0 0 1 CHEAT: DF 1 0 0 0 0 1 CHEAT: CHEAT: Entered Modified CHEAT: Attack Units Strength Strength Winning % CHEAT: Elephant 6 6 0.54376 CHEAT: Infantry, Lt 2 3 0.18257 CHEAT: CHEAT: Defense Units: CHEAT: Griffin 6 8 0.45624 CHEAT: CHEAT: Attacker win with 1 units remaining
However, if you were to reroll the battle yourself, you'd discover that it's not a victory after all! See:
Terrain: Enemy city 1 or 2 prod

What happened here is that our hypothetical attacker put in a *3* for the *base strength* of the light infantry, so that WarBOT rolled the battle with the light infantry as a 3 + 1 = 4. And the probabilities shown in the CHEAT version are correct - for a 6 and 4 attacking an 8! But for the actual battle of a 6 and a 3 on an 8, they're WRONG! In other words, the cheater rolled the wrong battle, and then edited the numbers shown for the light infantry to reflect their expected values, WITHOUT CHANGING THE PROBABILITIES!
Since it looks *plausible* that a 6 and a 3 might beat an 8 - and in fact the elephant only falls 1% short of surviving - a naive defender who accepted battle reports on faith would have unnecessarily surrendered a griffin AND a city! DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! CONFIRM ALL WARBOT REPORTS! :)
