Town hall destroyed before builders can run inside of it

[facescraper]

The game doesn't explain anything very well really. In an interview I read online, the CEO admitted the tutorial at the start of the game was rushed and a last minute thought. The dangers in upgrading town halls, loot penalties etc should all be information readily available in the game. I used to think when I first started playing that if someone attacked me and I didn't get shield the buildings were still destroyed for the next person to flatten me easily with half the base already destroyed. Back then there were no replays and no info on what actually happened so it was anyone's guess how it all worked... to answer your question OP, nothing happens to the builders and they still run back into the rubble if it's destroyed.

They retaliate, go to your base, and start deconstructing your buildings in a fit of rage.

dont forget the bathrooms. THE BATHROOMS. If you dont log in and rebuild they might start peeing on those bushes you failed to remove!!!

I thought when i first started playing that if i got attacked that i would have to build everything again, from scratch. So yes maybe the start of the game could be a little more informative

Dear OP,

Don't worry, the builders get a few minutes break to use the 'facilities'.

You won't lose your builders.

Well since the only bathrooms in the entire village are in the town hall, the builders just have to hold it in until you log back on and rebuild the TH!

And what, the longer you stay away the darker shade of yellow your screen will be when you finally sign back in, or dare I say......no I won't, but other do colors come to mind. Ewww....
