Friends

Friends can be found either by using your Facebook or your Gameloft account. Friends can help you earn money, energy, and experiences (shields). You can also earn special stars that allow you to buy sutff in the Black Market, such as resources, money, Magic Cards, or upgrade seals.

Gifts and Visit
You can earn these things by visiting your friends' villages. There you can only help up to five times each day until your social energy (top-left corner) runs out. You can help by watering their plants, collecting from their homes, or collecting their resources.

You can give gifts which may have a soldier or money. It may contain resources and even Magic Cards, if your lucky.

Invasion
You can also invade your friends' villages, too. You will be able to earn stars if your invasion is successful. You may need a big army before you can invade one of your neighbors. Your shield time will be activated after your attack.
