XXXX has withdrawn their support from Peach Princesss village

If XXXX has (3rd person singular) withdrawn, then it should be his/her support instead of their (2nd person plural) support

The player is a single person and so it is not their support but his/her support.

This target is still unter beginner protection

In my option this must be "beginner's protection" as it it the protection for beginners and belongs to them.

In English their is a substitute for his/her when you do not know their gender.

(used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine form his or the definite feminine form her)

You are interpreting beginner protection as two English words naturally flowing each other but in Tribal Wars "beginner protection" is a recognized state.
