Vacation Mode lets you pause your game when you need time away. Your villages are protected, but your account also has restrictions.
Vacation Days
Each game world gives you a limited number of Vacation Days.
Regular-speed worlds: 14 days.
Speed worlds: 7 days.
Every started day counts as one, even if you cancel shortly after activation.
Who can activate it?
Governors can enable Vacation Mode if:
They are not the owner of a Wonder of the World.
They are not under beginner’s protection.
They have Vacation Days left.
They don’t have an active Boost Phase from a previous vacation.
Kings, Vice Kings, and Dukes cannot activate Vacation Mode. They must leave their role first.
How to activate Vacation Mode
Open Settings (cog icon in the top-right corner).
Scroll down to Vacation Mode.
Enter the number of days you want and confirm.
You’ll then enter the Activation Phase:
Duration: 48 hours (24 hours on speed worlds).
No Vacation Days are spent yet.
Restrictions apply: you cannot relocate with Menhir or send attacks/sieges to villages, Wonders, Natars, or Oases.
Other players can still attack you.
Once the phase ends, Vacation Mode begins.

Oases: All assigned Oases are unassigned. Troops in Oases return home. Reassign after vacation.
Crop: Troops still consume crop and can starve.
Role changes: If you become King, Vice King, Duke, or Wonder owner, Vacation Mode ends immediately.
Canceling Vacation
Cancel anytime from Settings.
You can also cancel during the Activation Phase.
Boost Phase
After Vacation Mode ends or is canceled, you enter the Boost Phase:
Duration = the same as your Vacation Mode.
Effects:
Double resource production (wood, clay, iron).
Double tribute production.

⚠️ Tip: Always check crop levels before activating Vacation Mode — your troops will still eat while you’re away!
