cuz the peace treaty only protects the town ... not resource yielding places ... for those you need domain guards.

They drop their shield, attack, and reshield often in the blink of an eye.

That was a better answer ... I missed the point of the question ... you can look at the date to see the last time they unshielded with a guard payoff.

And it looks even quicker if your own connection/internet is a bit slow. I play two towns simultaneously: one on Plarium Play and one with Google Chrome, and the Google Chrome has a definate delay and sees everything after it has already happened on Plarium Play.

Yes - always make a town shield a favorite - click on the star.

If playing using keyboard the hit "B" will bring up favorites
