If you plan on playing expect to be attacked constantly. I spent 6 months building my troops just to have them wiped out in one attack. My strength 58 million, attacker 5.4 billion. Game is unfair and unbalanced. You can use a shield to protect your kingdom but forget to renew the shield and expect to be attacked, again and again. Even if your offline. Takes forever to upgrade your forces. Game was not thought out too well.
I recommend avoiding this game
