Hey @movun, sorry to hear you've encountered some difficulty! Can you provide a little more clarification on the exact issue you're having, please? Unfortunately, I'm a little confused by it. Are you referring to the combat ability mark target that applies to an opponent in the fight? Or is this something else?

Hello, Another faction has invited me to join a war. Their little rats mark a target. I go to the building and also mark the target. I am then notified that they are either waiting for a gang to become available, or the gang is on their way. Once their gang arrives and I click on them, it says they are available to join the attack for the next 30 seconds and it counts down. During the countdown I enter the marked building to attack it but I have never had a gang join me as they promised. I hope that clarifies my issue.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks so much for clarifying for me, @movun! I've logged this with the team and they're going to look into it for you. If we require anything further from you, I'll be sure to reach out to you again.

I have the same experience. I've never managed to get my allies in a fight for now, in my game.

Also, when i'm entering wars because of defense pacts, a lot of time the war doesn't last long enough in my experience. Almost every time, when i'm about to attack a racket where my allies are ready (like 20 seconds left for the mutual attack) and when my gansgters are about to join the fight, a peace treaty is signed by my ally... even though he was about to attack our mutual target racket.
The peace didn't make any sense, and i feel like these kinds of wars (triggered by your allies) end way too quickly.

Sorry to hear you've experienced something similar, @Palanthis. The team is currently looking into this one. I'll make a note of the other point you've mentioned and will bring it up with them also!

It's good to hear.
I would add that the same thing happened while i was about to attack an opponent's safehouse. I killed the guards outside, then the war ended because my ally, who declared the war a week before, decided to end the war. Yeah this type of war usually last only a few days, which really doesn't make any sense.
So, now, i have to wait the end of the truce before i can attack the safehouse. It's really frustrating, because as a player i don't have any control or even a word to say about the war.
I think a good idea would be to ask the player if he wants to continue war if the ally decides to end it. Even if it means you would continue the war alone. Just a suggestion to improve the gameplay.
I play on the last version of the game, with no mods, on PC (steam version).
