Towns with Palaces below Level-6 are easy targets. Attackers get points for killing enemy troops, even if no resources. The in-game statement:

You are about to attack a Town belonging to a Lord whose Palace level is less than 6. You won't get resources from a successful attack!

Does little to protect towns of new players that should be protected. Of course, the new player (potential revenue source) will get frustrated and leave the game. Thereafter, there will be no new troops to kill.

I suggest that towns with Palaces below Level-6 be given additional protection, like:

• Newbie shield be extended until reaching Level-6 Palace
• No cost healing / resurrection of Troops
• Modify in-game statement (above) to include killing troops
