I have been playing since the game was 3 days old . In the beginning this was a Great War game. Now the only way you can battle someone is to spend 100s and 100s of dollars a month and it’s constant without let up of needing upgrades you have Heros, instructors , officers , a sheriff , gear (7 pieces ) for 1 type of function like troop training and there are a lot that’s needs gear for single actions. construction on your buildings about 30 of them and research in the academy, you have a horse your sheriff rides and pets then you have a building full of weapons , traps and gems that you need to put in your gear each piece of gear takes 4 gems. And you have to forge all the gear your sheriff will wear hat , jacket , boots 3 accessory’s and a weapon separate from the weapons that have their own building . Everything I have listed starting with heros has to be upgradeded 1 slot at a time constantly . So while your upgrading all those things listed keep in mind that many things have more than 1 part for an example your heros need experience and insights to upgrade them there is probably about 50 heros. The officers have to have experience , references and office notes each a separate upgrade in each officer. You have a badge house that is fairly useless until badges are maxed and by the time they are maxed you probably won’t use them because of the actions they help will be almost finished if not finished. You have town skins , sheriff skins , March skins and gathering skins. There are some town and sheriff and marching skins that you seriously have to have thousands to get and they only last 90 days then they disappear those skins are around 5 grand to use for the 90 days. Your base where all of these things are now have another town inside called Pendleton all the buildings have to be upgraded and that town has its own research that has to be done. You have 3 types of troops infantry , mercenaries and cowboys. Which currently are at Tier 7 . Used to be able to build trap accounts but now peoples attack numbers are in the millions . If your rallied by one of those accounts your gonna lose a lot of troops and maybe your sheriff to. The sheriff when capped can be held almost 5 days and 5 days without your sherrif makes you unable to do much of anything. You have vip levels and your sheriff gear once forged and gems set has a skill tree you have to earn pieces to fill the for the action your going to do. Sheriff max level right now is 100 vip level 40. The game is now polluted with so much stuff that requires constantly upgrading it’s awful. I tried to add all the things I could think of but I’m sure missed alot, considering things like gear which you have to collect hundred of items to forge the gear and to upgrade the gear same with the gems . If your new to the game you will go into the newer states ( older are better ) in order to get to the older states as a new account you have to port your base there before it reaches level 5. But to port into the old states with a new account means your teeny weenie with nothing almost while being around maxed bases or current but now maxed, you can do nothing against those bases and probably could not run a rally and kill their gobs. In state you fight for gov , counties , centers and huts . You can be rallied if your not shielded and you can be zerod. You have to have rss for almost any type of upgrade or research troop trading ect . Their is 5 old rss and 6 new . I am getting ready to quit I think because the time you will spend pushing buttons daily is taxing at times. The great thing is the people your teammates you fight and chat together or complete daily actions like carnival . Many events done weekly . Game has become a chore and a money pit and I hate to see it happen but it has. Support appears to have no genuine knowledge of the game and how it actually works so I have never really had them resolve anything for me in the 6 years I have played and I basically got to the idea that if i could not resolve it or live with it then I would quit. I love fighting just cannot do it alone like I could before ( solo) and now in order to fight i have to have a beast mate or several who have a lot of their base maxed and then I can ride in rally’s . I will never be a rally leader because i cannot afford to keep my base ahead of all the others who fight . But now I don’t participate because I will cost my team points when we are matched against certain states. So the game has become very convoluted and so many things daily you need to do and the upgrades and upkeep never stops. I have had my research maxed out a few times but not long enough to enjoy it because they will release new research new builds new gear new heros new pets new badges . If you have played a war game before this is a war game but it’s not about the battle now it’s about who spends the most will win the battles. And so many ginormous accounts now that it seems like in order to satisfy the cash cows the game is based on those people. And finding ways for them to battle and keep spending when they have the ability to kill everything in sight will keep you at a disadvantage . Most always the fights are not good matches of fighters but one side completely will dominate the other. So many times matches are unfairly matched. I know people who have spent hundreds of thousands in this game on their base and I could have bought several homes. You can’t sell or give away your account that’s forbidden. Then we have the devs or developers who if you can get to them really are no help either. They take things away often that people have relied on and many times the rewards are not worth what it will cost you to do an event. Good luck and get ready to dump some serious money if your thinking about playing this game. The upside is the people you will meet . Best part of the game. Luck to you all.
