If money is no object then get otherwise spend them next 100 years trying to advance

Their greed is unbelievable and just seems to be getting worse. I have played for two years but I am getting to the point of deleting as it’s become impossible to enjoy.

Their approach is to handicap players who do not pay constantly. You don’t pay a few times you need to pay everyday.

Added to this is the constant message of slow internet. The design of their pages which lead to you wasting your resources if you are not extremely careful.

I hope this helps those contemplating getting this game

Fun Collector Game

So far there are many historical characters to unlock. You do get a couple cool ones throughout the campaign. Not sure how crazy or heavy of PvP there is but that aside you get to build your base, train characters, and also search for resources. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a more casual collector game!

Unethical Business Practices

This game was okay, despite being heavily pay to win. However, this latest event is either a massive screw up by the developers, or a straight attempt to screw over the players.

All previous allied culture cities you could obtain level 25-35 as F2P. The last event where they released a 5* hero from the level 40 reward had the same difficulty as all other allied cultures, and level 40 could be obtained with about $25 spent.

In this new allied culture event, F2P can maybe reach level 20, though 18 is more likely. $100 spent will get you to about level 25, while getting to level 40 would take upwards of $500.

Players calculated the math required to reach level 40. Even buying all premium buildings and expansions ($500 worth of purchases), it is still highly unlikely you could reach level 40 through the base game mechanics. You would need to spend additional money buying gems in order to directly buy the materials you’re short.

The company’s response to creating an event, with no indication that it would be 20x more expensive than all previous events, was “build better.”

Update: After massive outcry from the players, and evidence that it was nearly impossible to obtain the rewards, the company decided to give out the level 40 fragment to everyone. This is a nice gesture, but doesn’t change the fact that people that spent hundreds of dollars supporting this company weren’t reimbursed for their wasted money. I’m only changing my rating to 2 stars because I didn’t spend hundreds of dollars, but I estimate I lost about $40 worth of gems on this event, with nothing to show for it.

Stay Away

The most predatory, pay to win out there.

Such bad design

The special event, Ithaca, was not just badly designed, it was designed to the point where I don’t think anybody did the math to check on probabilities. It was so badly designed an apology email got sent out saying the key prize would be credited to all who made level 3 instead of 40. What hasn’t been addressed is those of us who spent tons trying to make the event work. That needs to be credited as well.
