The Peace Shield item will protect your city from attacks and scouts. It is a very powerful item, and can be invoked in many situations when you are in trouble.
You cannot however, activate the Peace Shield when your Prison contains a captured hero, or if your troops are escourting a captured hero back to base. You also cannot activate the Peace Shield if you have reinforcements within your Embassy. However, a city with an already-activated Peace Shield can have reinforcements sent to it, and the Peace Shield will protect the reinforcements from attacks and scouts.
When the item is active, a blue flame shield will appear around your city in Kingdom view. This sometimes attracts attention and also signifies that you cannot be scouted or attacked, and would-be attackers will typically look elsewhere. This is in contrast to the Anti Scout, which does not give any visual indication that the boost is active.
Gathering[]
You can continue to farm resource tiles while under Peace Shield, because you are not attacking. Note that you cannot attack into a tile that is already occupied by an enemy: due to an active Peace Shield, your troops will turn around and return back to the city without attacking the occupying force or gathering.
However, with your troops occupying a resource tile, your troops CAN be attacked even when you have Peace Shield on, so you are still vulnerable to tile hit attacks.
