Holidays protection

An option that can be activated by every player but only during holidays previously announced by Imperia Online team and for limited periods determined by IO. While activated, the account cannot be attacked neither can send attacks. Meanwhile, the account can be accessed, buildings can be constructed, researches can be ordered, army can be recruited etc. All attacks sent to the respective Empire before the activation will still be performed. Alliance battles do not fall under any rules of protection whatsoever. Attacks to independent provinces for pillaging resources are also not possible. Attacks on the Dark fortress and Skull of wonders are possible. Army upkeep will not be taken although it will look as if it is taken in Statistics menu (army upkeep will be taken in case you attack the Dark fortress or the Skull of wonders, though).

* Both, Vacation mod and Holidays protection, can be activated solely if you currently don't have troops on a mission.

Homeless population

Homeless is the population an Imperian* gathers upon having already reached the population limit allowed by the current level of Houses. Homeless population growth is twice lower. It can be recruited for army, but cannot be hired and, thus, doesn’t produce resources. To make use of it, an Imperian should build enough levels of Houses. When the population number reaches 200 000 no more homeless population can be gathered.

* Only Imperians, Nomads do not have homeless population.

Honor

The statistics that shows each player's military behavior, according to the fact whether he/she conducts equal battles, fighting in a rather civilized way. Honor is earned in battles with active players but always if fulfilled the requirement of having lost at least 10% of your own army and if the attack is in the allowed range x2. All players receive +2 daily Honor points and Diplomacy Officers +1 additional Honor point every day. Honor is lost in pillages, attacks out of range and for recalling the army after the 15th minutes from the beginning of the travel. Positive and negative Honor influence Morale and Happiness.

NB! Honor penalty for pillaging is taken after the battle is realized and, thus, it is shown in the battle report. Honor penalty for attacking out of range, though, is taken right after the attack has been sent, so it is never shown in the battle report and Honor is always subtracted even if the attack is recalled.

Hostility

This standing allows war declaration without any consequences for the Honor. The Hostility is active right after its declaration.

Houses

Buildings civilian villagers live in. Their levels increase the population limit of a province.

Though, 2nd and 3rd circles' limits can be manually decreased to 220 000 on player's own discretion.
