Protection is now entirely self-service and not time-based.
Everyone starts with 80 ticks of protection. You manually proceed to the next tick by clicking a button on the Status page.
Only when you have depleted your protection ticks are you OOP. Regardless of how long you take to do it.
Normally scheduled ticks (the ones every 15 minutes) do not count for dominions under protection.
Base starting resources: 3 million plat, 100,000 ore, 20,000 gems, 200,000 lumber, and 100 boats. Plus faction-specific variance.
Barbarians are exempt from protection and instead start with units.
