All production and consumption stop.
All your cities cannot be attacked, though your valleys can.
You produce no resources, but you also pay no upkeep for troops or heros.
To enter the mode you must have no reinforcements in your cities. You must have no marches out. You must have no current construction or research going. You must have no troops or wall defenses in the queue.
ok cheers...seems a wee bit heavy that i have to wait for building & research to complete. In reality those upgrades should be able to finish..but let the powers that be..Be !
Thanks

If would be nice if research and training queues could be suspended for the holiday period, something like when you apply milk and cookies, if you have Vesta's blessing already going, it is suspended until milk and cookies run out.
I've had a situation where I had just started a long (VERY long) research, something like 220 hours, when I had a family emergency and had to holiday for a few days. had to cancel everything and lost a lot of resources to do it
Fortunately I hadn't dreamed of spending at the time I was building and doing the research, that only came when porting became necessary to find targets, so I never had the problem of research to consider when going into holiday. If it is an emergency you would have to consider what is more important. Outside of that if you know you will be going away, you would need to consider whether starting the research was the right thing to do anyway.
220 hours does seem abit long though. Training and levelling the intel hero should drastically shorten research times and is fairly easy, although I would imagine you would need an experienced person to advise you from a previous server if you are not that far into the game.
One more thing you can't have before going into holiday mode is pending orders in the market place. The times I have had to go through every city to find the offending city with the market place order sitting there![]()
Arch 10 does take a phenomenally long time.
Some of the techs will take around 220hours when you have a good hero.
Server 133 (SS62)
Find me if you dare!
Amazing sig - Morgon le Fay!
was defo under 200 hours when I did it. None of them reached 200 hours. But then I got onto the hero training thing very early on.
we all did noob mistakes like that
