Honestly, don't play this game. It appears like a F2P game, but Lords is actually an (extremely) expensive, and predatory P2P game. I've played daily for several months now, and not only is it a huge time sink, but if you aren't constantly checking on your castle / shield, all of your efforts WILL be wiped out in minutes, and trust me, the notifications the game sends to alert you when you are under attack come LATE. Also overrun with bots and hackers. Don't waste your money and effort here.
