If you are wanting to play this game peacefully and enjoy it, then don't bother. Other players can and will attack your village on a daily basis. When this happens they steal your goods that you create. In this aspect this game is too much like clash of clans. If I wanted to battle other players, I would have downloaded that.. I would not reccomend this game if you are trying to pass time and have fun. I was about to purchase diamonds so I could build certain buildings, glad I didn't!
