somebody asking what to do before closing the game: i bank grain first, enough for the next offline stretch plus one bad surprise; do not spend it all on a shiny upgrade. food does not care how impressive the upgrade looks.

queue repairs before anything decorative. i use the longest build timer available, then queue troop healing behind it, and check that the builder is not sitting idle. if the queue is empty, the keep is already losing time, apparently.

you should check the gates and set the shield before logging out, then open the game once more to confirm both still show active. write down the return time if needed; memory is a poor governor, and cheese has never defended a wall.
