General Provisions

These rules (hereinafter referred to as the Rules) constitute an integral annex to the Terms of Use and shall be obeyed by all Game Users. The Rules and restrictions are not exhaustive and do not cover all possible cases of violations.

The purpose of these Rules is to ensure a comfortable gaming experience and a respectful attitude toward all Users.

Plarium reserves the right to decide what behavior and what actions are considered to be a violation of the Terms of Use provisions and the procedure for using the Service. In case of a violation of the specified provisions, Plarium has the right at its sole discretion to decide whether to perform actions including, but not limited to, deletion of your Account, prohibition on using the Service, and reporting to the relevant authorities. Plarium has the right to change, supplement, or delete the Rules at any time, informing you about this by posting the updated Terms of Use on the Site, posting the news in the Game and in official game communities, or, depending on your Account settings, via email.

Below you can find the measures that can be taken against Users in case of a violation of the Rules:

• In-game warning.
• Bank blocking — temporary and permanent blocks are possible.
• Blocking of access to the Game, the forum, or the game community in social networks for a period from one day to a permanent (unlimited) block.
• Revocation of game elements, game achievements, as well as deprivation of rights to unactivated data and commands, including rights to use in-game currency, without compensation (including in form of returning the Account to its state preceding the corresponding violation) if they were obtained by means of violating the rules of the Game, Terms of Use, other Plarium rules, or conditions of the corresponding contests or giveaways.

Please be aware that repeated and multiple violations will lead to more stringent restrictions, including permanent (unlimited) Account blocking.

1. User Obligations

1.1. In their actions in the Game, Users shall follow these Rules, the Terms of Use, and other regulatory documents.

1.2. Users are obliged to inform the Plarium technical support team about errors and malfunctions they discover in the application. If a player exploits an error in order to gain a profit or game advantages, thus violating Plarium's intellectual property rights, this will be considered malicious behavior and punished accordingly irrespective of the consequences of such actions.

1.3. Users must not spread false information about the Game and/or plans for its development.

1.4. Users must not use the Game by means that go beyond the usual game process and that are not envisaged by the Terms of Use, rules of the Game, or other Plarium rules.

Plarium oversees the observation of these Rules. The authorized representatives of the company (hereinafter referred to as the Administration) have the right to change and delete any information that is posted in the Game, official communities, and other resources, which may constitute a threat to Users' safety (their life, health, personal data, etc.), as well as which violates the rules of morality and ethics, or the present Rules.

  • mass creation of additional Accounts in an enemy Kingdom in order to prevent this Kingdom's Orders from earning points;
  • creation of additional Accounts in an enemy Kingdom for the purpose of taking space for reinforcements in the Rebels' Towers with a small number of warriors (thus preventing other Orders from filling the Rebels' Towers with reinforcements completely) and subsequently attacking the  Castles with your own Order.
