These "buffs" have been implimented, so now lets just deal with it.

And as a part of dealing with it - we need more information!!!

The ONE thing I want to know is - WILL WE RECIEVE A WARNING OR ALERT IF ANY OF THESE DEVIL BUFFS ARE APPLIED TO US?

I mean, hey if I'm under attack and online, I'm gonna be some ticked off if I plan on opening my gates after the initial scoutbombs have finished only to find - oops, they aint opening.

Realistically, IF we are given some notice that these devil buffs are applied to us - easiest defense is just use a truce and take a 12 hr break. And carrying that logic forward, if we are not given any notice about these buffs being applied to us, easiest and safest counter measure is to truce upon first attack. Congratulations Mr Evony - you have just turned us all into Swiss - I mean really, what kind of fool would keep their cities in such a vunerable state.

But the KEY is - will we even know that these items have been applied?
