### 4/5 — More cities please

*2026-08-11, version 5.0.6*

Would be great if we could have a mid European city added

### 3/5 — Good concept but buggy

*2026-07-14, version 5.0.4*

I enjoy the concept and gameplay a lot but some bits are frustrating. 

The game sometimes won’t tell you information like the conditions for upgrading high quality housing. The crises are also super annoying bc they can reset production to zero without any way to stop it. Lots of translations are also bad/not done. 

Feels more like a beta version than finished.

### 1/5 — “Delete All Civilizations” Locked Me Out of My Account

*2026-07-14, version 5.0.4*

I purchased the China Civilization DLC just a few days ago and barely had a chance to play it. I used the “Delete all civilizations of this account” button because I thought it would let me start over. Instead, my account was permanently locked with Error xx003. Customer support simply told me to create a new account. Am I really expected to pay for the DLC again? This is completely unacceptable. There should be a clear warning before this action. I wish I could upload the email I got from customer support.

### 1/5 — Such a waste of time

*2026-05-17, version 4.0.19*

Unable to reach level 9 since it requires grain stall which only be built once you’re in level 9. You will have no other choice but paying money to buy diamond to skip to level 9. Deleted the game

### 3/5 — Дошла до 25 уровня и все слетело

*2026-05-02, version 4.0.19*

Дошла до 25 уровня и все слетело

### 4/5 — Love the game

*2026-02-05, version 4.0.18*

Love the game but wish there’s a way to delete the cities and start over.

### 1/5 — Error

*2026-02-03, version 4.0.18*

White screen

### 1/5 — Aztec still locked for task mode why?

*2025-10-16, version 4.0.15*

Why is the Aztec civilization still locked? If you want to do task mode you can only do Aztec if you want to do sandbox. Why is that?

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-10-11, version 4.0.14*

It is a good game, just keep updating the game and remove errors from game.

### 2/5 — Full of bugs

*2025-09-29*

Latest update has lots of bugs, the game touch response dont work, have to quit and restart the game. Developers kindly resolve this issue
