There is no way to defend yourself and it makes it near impossible to play. Then all they say is join an alliance. Well no duh. Strong alliances don't let weaker players in and all other alliance can't protect you, because they're dominated by the strong alliances. There's no cool down either, just constant destruction. Once someone attacks you so many time, instead of giving you time to rebuild, it just transfers you to a random place on the map, ran by enemies that continue to attack you......
