shield Defense System

security What is Defense?

Defense is your nation's automatic response to enemy attacks. When an attacker targets your provinces, your selected defending units are automatically deployed to mitigate damage.

Your defending units:

  • Reduce incoming damage to your provinces
  • Protect your economy and resources
  • Are selected manually by you, not automatically

edit How to Organize Defense

Step 1Go to Wars page
Step 2Click "Organize Defense" button
Step 3Select exactly 3 unit types
Step 4Click "Save Defense Selection"

Pro Tip: Choose your strongest unit types for maximum damage reduction.
