Points Protection#

Points protection is a game mechanic that protects small empires from larger ones by restricting who the empire can attack. An empire on the first two days of game play will be protected against all other empires. After this, the protection will change to 90%, meaning that the target empire must be 90% of the size of the attacker for them to attack. Following this, protection will decrease by 5% per day until it reaches 20% where it will remain stabilized.

Any empire over 1,000,000 points will lose points protection.

You will also loose points protection if you declare war on another empire.

Points protection is very closely related to  piracy(info) .
