What decides who is the attacker and who is the defender?

I've became the defender when I needed to be the attacker because we both would launch our attack against eachother on the same turn, and it's cost me massively more than once. What decides who attacks and who defends when two armies attack eachother, and what causes an army to evade attack from an army and launch their own against a city?

It depends who did his moves firstly. Who moves first, it will attack first too.

When you attack player city , units with more attack points attack 1st
when player attack your city , units with more defend points defend 1st
when 2 players attack the same country , that mean you once be the attacker and you once be the defender . depends .

Thank you, but I don't mean the units themselves in battle, but rather the armies. If I have an army in Germany and order them to attack an army in France, while the French player gives his order to attack my attacking German force, what army would be the attacking force? If both players issue the attack order against the other's army on the same turn

As i said it depends on your move order. For example you attacked france in your first move and france attacked first london or etc and attacked germany as second move. In this situation you will attack and he will defend. Who make his move first, it will be attacker.

If both players attacked each other, then both of them will be attacking, unless the battle takes place in a city, in which case the owner of that city will be defending.

What if both players attacked each others from cities?

Then it is first decided who gets to move / who gets turnblocked according to this rule, and then as described above.
