Couple of months ago a 3rd party war bot has been developed, you can barely find a kingdom where it is not used. As soon as your shield is dropped, the people who are using it receive notification with your location and all the relevant details. You can loose all your troops and progress in a blink of an eye. IGG is aware of it, but apparently won't do anything to combat it. The gameplay is ruined!!! Be aware that it is an awesome game, but heavy pay to play
