Church? really?
I've been a tap game player for over a year, seen good and seen bad.. This is horrible! It's always had aspects of the game that used gems for items and speed ups, but to take away things that were free and put a ridiculous gem price on previously free boosts is just the worst. It has already been stupid crazy to get items and resources, but good on idiocy to make it impossible! Fix it or I'm out!
UPDATE: seriously? A gem sale and paying 3-5 gems for a small chance at an item or just a few more resources? You think this appeases us? You are delusional. Make the 4 blessings from before like they were before and charge for the other stuff you added. Fix the bugs, and for goodness sake don't treat it like a discard like you did islands and just go make a new game. No more unfinished garbage!!
ANOTHER UPDATE:
Is tap stupid? They break the Church, try to make people spend insane amounts of money on this game, try to fix it with a gem sale, try to fix it by "giving out scrolls" as item drops that DONT DROP... No one has gotten any... Then decide they've fixed it by charging gold for short blessings? Those blessings are too short to be useful for one, and two they cost too much gold. Put the old blessings back to working the old way! Charge what you want for the new stuff, but do the old blessings the old way!

Kings empire v.1.4
I understand tap for fun altered the way the academy works into a level system so all players would have the same starting point with the induction of magic units into the game mechanic, however I don't understand why the church has been so greatly altered. It makes all the efforts spent by players to upgrade it completely meaningless and now find themselves required to spend money on gems in order to access what was once an integral part of the battle system. Other additions to the game such as the the push system, which costs 1 gem to use seem ineffectual, and on my last check not even functioning. While this gem orientated new system is obviously lucrative for tap for fun, I believe it's obvious they have lost sight of the concept of free to play.

Greedy buggers
Exactly what everyone is saying about it. The developers have suddenly got greedy and cant play the game properly without buying gems with real money. Same attitude is seen across all their games eventually. Try not get yourself addicted as you will regret it eventually. They made tweaks to the game day after the update 1.4 and added injury to insult. I just stopped playing it after being a high end and a loyal player. Well done tap4rich. Hope you prosper.

Terrible
It's the old bait and switch. Tap4fun offered a genuinely fun and addictive game, and providing means within the game for them to receive compensation via in-app purchases is all well and good, but the way they went about implementing it in this new update is incredibly underhanded. It's ridiculously low to make previously free upgrades cost large numbers of gems, the only reasonable means of obtaining said gems being to part with your real life money. It would have been far less insulting had they integrated the new update into the existing system. Faith points for an hour per church blessing and for those that wish to use gems, 6 hours. To completely change the system to exclusively use gems seems particularly greedy. There also seems to be an issue with logging in and accessing cities, though I haven't run into those issues personally. I have encountered quite a few other glitches however. Overall, it's a very sloppy upgrade. The 'improvements' seem superficial and the gem thing is just disappointing.

What a terrible update
One has to wonder what the developer(s) were thinking when they release this update. If they want to drive their customers away & gather a bad rep then I guess they succeeded.
Things that are wrong with this update:
+ can't access any city besides the main city (an indication of buggy software, terrible quality control from the developers)
+ terrible world map graphics. Before the update, there are beautiful rivers, mountains, meadows that makes one want to build a city on such a beautiful scenery. With this update the world map are crowded with horrible icons for cities & gone are the beautiful scenery
+ the buildings change is a horrible one, since it disrupt the way people has been planning their strategies. People spent tons of resources & time upgrade these buildings to best fit their playing style & strategies. The update threw these ideas into a trash can. Why not adding building for magic troops instead? This is an indication of poor software designs.
I had high hope & expectation for this game. Now I am equally disappointed....

Worst update for a game EVER!!
Making it gem/real money based was a very stupid idea! Someone should loss their job over that! I think many ppl have quit game due to this update. And if not fixed soon. I will b joining them. Not to mention that I will tell all my friends to never download this or any Tap4Fun games if this is not fixed! I am very disappointed w this update. All the time I spent upgrading my church. Was a waste of time! And all the other things mentioned by other players need fixed as well. I don't have the time or space to complain about all the bad ideas that have been added on the 1.4 update!! So if and when fixed. I will give a better review. Until then, 1 star is the best I can give this app after the new update!

How's to ruin a game in a few easy ateps
1 let your players spend hours upgrading church to lvl 30 then change it so it's all 40, 60, 100 gems to use a blessing..... Waste of time and hundred gems for 7 hours blessing is expensive ( in real money!)
2 change a already perfectly good academy
3 not add a function to create more than 4 cities
4 Add a wall( a great idea) that comes depleted and you have to spend thousands of resources just to fill its health bar( a bad idea)
All in all a lot of players have spent a good amount to time upgrading things that are now perfectly pointless and unusable, new players starting out will suffer more as its insanely hard to build up without blessings and been able to research without upgrading academy
I loved this game now I don't want to bother with it anymore what a shame

Game update costs players
This is a game I have played for a couple months now. Players willing to by 'gems' had an advantage over others. But without spending cash I really enjoyed.
Since update, players willing to spend real money on gems can excel, but be warned, very expensive. The entire game mechanics have been completely unbalanced to benefit paying players.
Overall the game makers have got money hungry and greedy.

It was going so well...
The new patch has ruined the game. It is basically pay to play.
Some really good functions such as 'blessings' now cost Gems which of course cost real money. These free blessings helped to gather resources and reduce war losses, but now since the upgrade the function has been has been lost which makes it impossible to compete. To make things worse you now need to buy resources using gems (real money) to upgrade the building to point where you can actually buy the blessing. Your effectively paying twice over! Such a disappointment and a real shame.

Needs Some Fixing...
I still really like the game but what the update has done makes me not want to play...... I don't mind the addition of mages but I do think that our barracks should become the level of your stable so you can create all the same basic units, maybe instead of making the Mage building the level of the stable make it level 1 and make the barracks the level of the stable. And pricing gems for church blessings is MAJORLY ridiculous. I don't much mind what happened with the academy and I like the new upgrades that came with it. I love the addition of the wall but the price to repair is Way Too High. It would take out way too much resources from any player.
All in all I wouldn't call the update entirely bad. I just think it needs fixing. The church shouldn't cost gems it should always stay with faith points. The barracks should get the level of the stables and the Mage building if anything should just start at 1. The walls repair costs should Definately drop... A Lot.
If the makers of the game want to keep players they should Definately do something about this and do it Fast. I'll stick with the game but I won't stay for long if it stays like this.
