I’ll get to the point. The game is fun but has 2 major flaws end-game. Unfortunately three flaws are bad enough that I’m no longer playing.
(1) The game caps out at building-level 30, which means all the resources (gold, metal, wood) that you grinded so hard for are no longer of value. You see a fat village swelling with gold? Well, you’re capped with nothing to spend it on, so pointless.
(2) An important part of the end game grind is dueling. It’s a potentially fun chess-like tactics battle. Whereas most other venues are actually battling with an AI (and there sometimes is an Auto option to grind), this one does not have an auto option. The idea is that you are playing live with another player. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that you need to win about 1,000 rounds (less if you buy gem-costing tickets or click ads every few hours). The queue take about 10-30s; the actual fight takes about 15-30s. The part that takes a long time is the 8 alternating 60s rounds to place your units.
This is made even worse by people who afk (and nearly 99% of them do). This is how it works: they use a tool like iPhone’s “Switch” special access tool to auto-click the screen. They spam it a hundred times and let it go. Most players use only 10-15s of their 60s timer to place units; but an afk’er will use all 60s. This means that if you wait for all 4 of his timers to run out, you will have had waited 4 min to earn 300 medals. Of course, they are running this afk grind for hours on end.
I don’t understand why the devs just accept this and simply put an Auto button here. And if they want to truly advertise this as real chess/tactics pvp, then they out to do something like make the queue button show up in random places or put a Forfeit button in the click pattern so that afkers will auto forfeit.
I suspect enough Whales use afk that they don’t want to cut the hands that feeds them ($). Yet, they don’t want to market this game as AI pvp, so they are doing a strange song and dance to try to appease both. What they end up with is a half-cooked pizza that has all the right ingredients but doesn’t taste like it should.
