A cranny

Beginner protection

For 5 days after you spawn, other players cannot attack or raid you. Use the time. It will not come back.

What it actually blocks

  • Attacks and raids against your villages.
  • You can still be scouted on some setups — do not assume invisibility.
  • You can still send troops out. Protection is a shield, not a cage.

What to finish before it drops

  1. Crannies high enough that a first raid does not empty you.
  2. A Rally Point and enough infantry that a neighbour thinks twice.
  3. Warehouse and Granary so 10x production is not sitting in the open.
  4. An alliance, or at least a name people recognise in chat.

After it drops

You are a normal tile. On a 25×25 that happens fast — everyone can walk to everyone. Keep a cranny, keep a defender, and read first raids before you start picking fights.
