I am going on vacation for a week. Now that I got a very nice village, is there anyway to keep the game from progressing while I am gone? I am afraid of coming back to devistation.

i can assume only putting the game on pause before you go may work..... try this..... put the game on pause tonite making sure to keep record of your stats first..... and when you wake up in the am check to see if anything changed.. if nothing changed then you might be able to do that... try it for a couple of nites to see if anything changes

just pause it. nothing will change while you're gone.

I have paused it over nite and nothing seemed to change... that is why i am suggesting to pause it over nite with a record of your stats before you went to bed and when you wake in the morning unpause it to see if anything happened

guess that is good idea
mine change so much when i get up
