I played this game for a little over a year. It was really great when it first hit the scene. So fun meeting and communicating with people all over the world. Helped build a really strong alliance and we were actually doing pretty well. It was easy to build up and create a formidable stronghold but sooner rather than later everyone who really wanted to compete was having to spend hundreds of dollars, including myself. I had to bow out. Leaving behind many new friends in the process, as you really do come to know many new people, but, it was just WAY too much to keep up with. I don't mind having to spend a "little" money for a game or experience but, not THOUSANDS of dollars! As depressing as it sounds that's exactly what MZ expects from you. Not just 50$ or 100$ (which should give you everything you need in ANY given game) I'm literally talking thousands of dollars. Everything "NEW" that comes out...be prepared to pay for it in a 100$ pack (minimum if you really want to compete) and you don't even get everything you need from that alone...I watched a lot of people waste a lot of money on this BS. F***ing crazy. *Game is a pay to play...don't waste your time or money.

CASH COW. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I used to have fun, was spending a little money every month and had grown to the point that I wasn't a target to everyone. Then they upped the price of all packages to $100. I bought one still, once in a blue moon. Then they changed gameplay all together. All the items i had paid for in the past (food, soldiers, money, et cetra) became USELESS and I HAD to buy multiple hundred dollar packages to keep from being slaughtered constantly. No more.

It's been said over and over again that this game is a money sink, a pay to win game of the highest order. When the biggest 1 or 2 % of the players purchased everything there was to buy, they raised the city level cap (twice) to buy more, added a new troop type to buy more. It's shameless really. The game is #1 on the grossing charts so it's obviously working for them but if you're a new player, look elsewhere. Thousands of dollars for some players is not out of the ordinary.
