This page is for alliance leadership only. Only R5 and heirs can use !shield in game. In Discord, only members with the leadership role can use /shield.
Shield check tells you when a governor’s peace shield ends. The bot looks at the governor’s city on the map and replies with the time left. Use it to plan rallies, check on a target, or see if an ally is protected. For automatic warnings before a shield drops, see shield and teleport alerts. To watch many players at once on a live board, see activity watch.

​
Who can use it

  • In game: R5 of the bot’s alliance and heirs on the Alliance tab.
  • In Discord: members with your server’s leadership role.
Everyone else gets a short refusal and no shield information.

​
Check a shield in game

Type !shield followed by a governor name or governor ID in any chat channel. The bot replies in the same channel. If you type it in a private message to the bot, the answer comes back as a private message.
You can also type !bubble instead of !shield. Typing !shield on its own does nothing.
A governor ID always finds the right person. Use it when several governors have similar names.

​
Check a shield in Discord

  1. Run /shield in a channel on your server.
  2. In the governor box, enter a governor name or governor ID.
  3. Wait a few seconds. The bot posts the answer in the channel where you ran the command.
The Discord answer also shows the city’s coordinates, for example X:568 Y:672.

​
What the replies mean

If a governor also has a newcomer (system) shield, the bot adds it to the same line, for example ; system shield ends in 2h 5m (18:33 UTC).

​
Only one check per person at a time

If you send several !shield messages very quickly, the bot answers only the last one. Send one name, wait for the answer, then send the next.

​
When the bot can’t read a shield

The bot can only see cities on the map it is on. That’s your home kingdom, or the shared map during KvK. Governors in other kingdoms always show as shield not readable.

​
Turn shield check on or off

Shield check is a feature called Shield Check that leadership can turn on or off.
  • In game: when Shield Check is off, the bot ignores !shield and sends no reply.
  • In Discord: when Shield Check is off, /shield replies Shield check is turned off.

​
Other replies you might see

  • !shield is for R5 and heirs only.: you’re not R5 or an heir.
  • could not check permissions - try again later: the bot couldn’t confirm your rank. Try again shortly.
  • give a governor name or a governor id: the name or ID wasn’t valid. Names can be up to 40 characters.
  • The bot didn't answer in time. (Discord only): the bot may be offline. Try again shortly.
