How can I protect my Clan from being attacked?
The Clan Capital is your Clan's central structure. Losing it not only means losing resources but also tactical ground. Here's a clear guide on how to defend it effectively.
How your Capital is protected
- Your Clan Capital is protected by Forts and the Shield of Peace (if charged).
- All Forts must be destroyed before enemies can attack the Capital.
- As long as at least one Fort remains, your Capital cannot be targeted.
- Once all the Forts have been destroyed, the Shield of Peace is activated automatically for the following 20 hours.
Conflagration status explained
Conflagration is a state a Fort enters when it has been successfully destroyed. While in this state:
- The Fort no longer protects the Capital.
- The Fort's walls cannot be rebuilt for 40 hours.
However, Conflagration only activates under specific conditions:
If the fort is destroyed completely - conflagration will be activated, and walls cannot be rebuilt for the next 40 hours.
If the Fort is only partially damaged - conflagration will not be activated, and walls can be rebuilt immediately.
Note that you cannot charge the Shield if the Fort is under the Conflagration effect. You can read more about Clan Forts here.
What happens if the Capital falls?
If enemies destroy your Capital's fortifications and defeat all allied reinforcements inside:
- They will loot all Clan resources stored in the Capital, regardless of their army's carrying capacity.
If your Clan Capital is completely destroyed, it must be rebuilt within seven days, or it will vanish permanently. To rebuild it, you'll need to:
- Spend standard building resources.
- Ensure that at least one Fort remains standing.
Using the Shield of Peace
If you've charged the Capital's Shield of Peace before the last Fort falls:
- The Shield activates automatically once the last Fort acquires Conflagration status.
- The Shield lasts 20 hours.
During this time:
- The Capital cannot be attacked.
- Allies can reinforce the Capital.
If the Shield is not charged in time, the Capital becomes exposed immediately after the last Fort acquires Conflagration status.
