On worlds with a night truce, there are no attacks at night between midnight and 8:00 UTC.
- A player can not start an attack, raid or siege during night protection, even if it would arrive after the protection has run out.
- A player can not start an attack, raid or siege before the night protection if the troops arrive during the night protection.

This particular world is usually at x5 speed. It is used to test and fine-tune new features in a live game environment before introducing them to standard worlds.
The test world is opened on an as-needed basis and, in rare cases, may be closed on short notice, even before the end of the game.
As a token of appreciation for participating in the test world, every player will receive some Gold as a staring bonus, and packs are offered at discounted prices. Please note, however, that Gold purchased on the test world can only be transferred to other test worlds.
