Beginner protection
Some worlds protect new players for a while.
New worlds protect new players for at least 72 real hours (a world made for tests may give less). While a player is protected nobody can attack him, the Barbarians do not raid him and no influence annexes his villages; the protection ends at its time. The village header shows how much is left, and a notice comes two hours before the end.
It ends early when you send troops to another player's village (a human's or a bot's). Raiding Barbarian villages does not end it in new worlds; older worlds keep their old rule, where any village does.
