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.
Night-protection worlds are available in x1 and x3 speed versions and even in x5 for the Halloween scenario.

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 into the standard worlds.
The test world is opened on an as-needed basis and can be closed on short notice, even before the end of the game.
To thank players who take part in the test, the Gold Fairy regularly visits the test world to bring gold, and packs are discounted in price. Please note, however, that gold purchased on the test world is only transferable to test worlds.
