House protection system#
A black pearl protection system significantly enhances home security and increases the effectiveness of defenders against burglars. It provides an additional security element and is especially important for homes with rapidly accumulating funds.
You can build a security system on the “Your Homes” page (“Investor” → “Real Estate” → “Your Homes”).
Construction#
The cost of building a defense system is 10 Black Pearls for each level of the house’s development. Defenses are built separately for each level, so as the house develops further, the system must be upgraded.
Repair#
Repair of the home security system is carried out only in automatic mode.
If your account doesn’t have enough Black Pearls to cover repairs, the security system will be disabled for 168 hours (7 days) until the next automatic repair attempt. If necessary, you can disable the “Automatic Home Security Repair” feature for a specific home.
Table: Cost of Home Security System Repairs
| House level | Black pearl, units |
|---|---|
| 0 - 25 | 1 |
| 26 - 49 | 2 |
| 50 | — |
A special rule applies to the castle (house level 50). The magical properties of a castle with a built-in defense system allow it to constantly maintain the maximum increase in the guard’s military knowledge coefficient of 3, without the need for periodic repairs.
Impact on guards characteristics#
The Defense System increases the guard’s military skills when fighting a robber. The increase depends on the building’s level.
Table: Increase in military knowledge due to the defense system
| House level | Coefficient |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.285 |
| 2 | 1.32 |
| 3 | 1.355 |
| X | 1.25 + X • 0.035 |
| 50 (castle) | 3 |
When the defense system is active, a guard’s military knowledge may exceed the base limit of 1,000,000 knowledge. For example, if a castle is guarded by a clone with 500,000 military knowledge, then in battle, it will have 1,500,000 knowledge.
Improving the security system during home development#
As your house level increases, the defense system requires upgrades. Each new level requires an additional 10 Black Pearls.
If the house level has been increased, but the protection system has not been improved, it will continue to operate, but the gain factors will correspond to the level at which the protection was originally built.
