I really enjoy this game! Haven't had any major bugs or issues with controls or gameplay so far. If I had to make one suggestion though, perhaps make the other tribes unlockable through gameplay? For example, you could unlock the vengir tribe for scoring 3 stars with the bardur tribe, or something to that effect. It would provide a good challenge for players, and add incentive to improve. Can't wait to see what's added in future updates!

This is such a fun little game, I love everything about it! I do have a few suggestions though. Could you make it so that we can do other things with the other tribes except from destroying them. Being able to trade or forge temporary alliances with the other factions would be awesome! Could you also make a bundle where we can buy all the other tribes in one instead of separate purchases? That would make things much easier.

I really like the game. It has a really cool concept and runs very smoothly. Everything about this game is perfect except a few things. Please allow custom map size. Playing in small maps gets really frustrating. Also can you please allow online multiplayer where you can play with other people using a different device. That would be really cool. And a mode where it becomes fast paced and instead of turns, all the players just keep on going. Please also expand the tech tree. Thanks for such an amazing game!

Great turn based strategy. This is the first game I have spent money on in several years. Simple play style and challenging AI. I like the pass and play feature. For future development there should be a way to play against your friends across multiple devices. I would also like to see some new technology tree elements and maybe a map editor. Awesome game, keep up the good work!

This is one of the most addicting games you'll ever play! Honestly im not even sure how the Dev came up with the new Mind Bender unit, but its great! If the Dev keeps up like this, im going to be playing this for a long time! One suggestion - a transport mechanic would be cool. Instead of transforming units into ships, you could make different ones. A transport one for troops, and the current boat, ship and battleship would diversify the sea game to no end. Also a "Archpeligo" type gamemode, where all the races start on seperete islands with a port, but im not sure how balanced that would be. Great work, and i hope you contimue!

Best mobile game i played for a long time. Its like a virtual board game. And unlike alot of mobile games you dont have worry about paying for any resources. The only thing you could pay for is new options for villages type and its not required. I recommend this game to any wanting a challenging strategy game and not wanting to worry about paying to let your little village thrive.

I can't stop playing this game, it's such a pleasure. I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Civ-type games. This is one of those rare free game experiences where you are not bombarded with ads or pressured to buy boosters and tokens and garbage like that. I did purchase the rest of the tribes as the game is great and the price was so reasonable, and this definitely added to the fun.
I'm very enjoying your game, keep it up! :). And suggestions: I think it will be a cool idea if we could train our own settler to make a city, rather than capturing the generated one, in new gamemode maybe?. And the A.I. seems a little bit clumsy when it comes to sea battle. And maybe make it able to build stable on animal, so making mounted unit will need stable first. Or before we can make a ship or catapult we should have a lumber hut first. Or before we can train mind bender we should build temple first. Or before we can train swordsman or knight we should build mine and smith first. I hope this can help you get idea for future update :)
Awesome! Reminds me of StarCraft. This game has a chance to go competitive if they release multiplayer with tier rankings for 1v1, 2v2 etc. Domination. Needs to have multiplayer so there's that competitive replay that you want to beat others and get a higher ranking. Like top rts game like Clash Royale. Maybe you guys can have a auto match making system, but still make it available to versus your friends online or in real life but not pass and play. Maybe a WiFi connection. Maybe more personal customization based on ranking later on profile or rewards for your ranking. ;) tons of possibilities. It's all up to you devs where you're going to take it. ESPORTS? Haha
I love this game, I think it the best mobile games I will ever play. The whole concept is great, the UI is very user friendly and I love the different tribes. The only problems are that it gets boring playing computers there needs to been an online multilayer option. Also there needs to be larger map options and different types of land spawns and land water ratios for custom maps.
i love it! spend hours daily battling with my boyfriend via "Pass and Play". so far we have bought all tribes except Luxidoor. the recent update changes the whole gameplay, which is refreshing for me (someone who had played the previous version for months). would be another plus point if we can have the option to battle online somehow though.. (:
I'm not an avid critic. In fact I don't even review games or apps on the Play Store that often. However, I would like to comment on this game. The game, so far, offers three game modes - one of which are a multiplayer option. The game has simple and nostalgic graphics, and a unique but engaging game play. Although there are few game modes, the simplicity displays fun gameplay where each game is different , each time with different paths to choose. I would also like to say that it is surprisingly low battery consuming and that does not require WiFi to play, because on multiplayer you pass the device around with family or friends. Overall this is a beautifully designed game and as an indie developed app, it has a lot of potential.
Absolutely love this game, think the balance, controls, and gameplay are fantastic. I have two minor suggestions: 1. Make some of the tribes unlockable through difficult in-game achievements. 2. Enable online play where you complete a turn then send that turn to your friend. Slow, but would be great fun!
This game is awesome, reminds me of the civilization games. Although one problem is all of the paid gameplay. All armies costing $1.50 is something that all companies would need to do to keep their game alive. Mabye if you made the first armies in the game now free, added ads before and after games (Not during) and added more powerful armies that coated more money than they do now. An examole could be $2.50 per army for the newer and powerful ones and $3.50 for the really powerful ones. A couple of new modes would be good too. Maybe one where the first person to get 500 or so stars wins, or a mode where you build all of the wonders the most quickly. A mode where you need to get all the techs the fastest would be great too. Do something like this and add a few more units and this will be one of my favourite games.
I really enjoy this game. It's fun and addictive. Can play for free just fine but I'll admit that I wanted to play with a few different groups bad enough that I didn't a few dollars. I'd like there to be more gameplay options - a 15 turn game with the first tier of skills already unlocked for instance. But other than that it's a great little casual game to play. Edit: the price of the battleship is ridiculous especially playing perfection mode.
A great game but I do have a few ideas: 1. Add wild animals that attack your tribe and opponents tribes and eats fishes,whales(probably sharks or giant squids),and horses. 2. Add more Easter eggs like Aliens,Ufos,Bigfoot etc.I know your working hard on this game and trying to make it better and I hope these ideas will make you want to make this game as diverse as possible.
This game is incredibly fun and addicting. Plays very similarly to the Civilization series which I love but don't have a PC. Also very unique in its own ways, especially it's graphics. Only complaint is the location of the next turn button. Can't tell you how many times I accidentally ended my turn early when trying to close an information screen
Love this app! My girlfriend and I play this all the time, very addictive. Needs online multiplayer, possibly some kind of scoring thing. Would also be cool if you could take each tribe down a certain path for some sort of campaign. And lastly, an option to customize map size would be cool.
Such an awsome game! I would absolutey recommend it to everyone!! Give it a try, it's like Chess, (you play when it's your turn) but way better because you actually build your empire and army and fight against other tribes (enemies). Controls and graphics are just outstanding and it's very easy to play. Keep up the awsome work and bring us more awsome updates with amazing features. 😁😁
all i can say is theres room for more. the highly tuned nature of the game holds high sights for that which is to come, as i hope there IS more. im not even halfway through the game though lol, and only have seen the tech tree in speculation. i am loving it, and had to give thanks. story mode?
Recently the game has gotten way too easy. The AI doesn't know how to optimize for income using customs houses, and with much more water recently, it's really easy to beat any number of opponents on crazy mode. Maybe a 1 vs all mode where computers team up against you?
This game reminds me of a less complicated version of a game I use to play in my childhood. When I first played it i instantly felt a feeling of nostalgia and played it for four hours straight. The only thing I wish this game would add is multiplayer, so I can play with friends online. Besides that I love this game and would recommend it as a time killer.
Absolutely love this game. Suggestions for future updates: -Canal: lets you basically use a square for land and water units, however you can only build 1 or 2 at a time and they should be pretty expensive. -Increased map sizes (configurable): speaks for itself -Maybe some kind of infinite game mode: big map and other civs just keep sprouting up -MORE SINGLEPLAYER SAVE FILES -I'll probably update this later with more ideas PLEASE ADD CANALS
It's good, but i have a couple issues with it. Mostly the inability to have larger games without spending a bunch of money on different armies. I know that you guys, as the developers, need to make money with this. So here are my suggestions. Maybe have the current armies that are in the game be unlocked through certain actions or achievements, and make more powerful armies for DLC. Example, make nine of the existing armies unlockable so the nine army battle is available, but make armies eith more powerful endgame technologies as paid DLC You could also add ads before and starting a game and after winning/losing a game. If you do introduce adds, please add more free armies aswell. Lots of people would enjoy a 9 army battle, but we aren't willing to pay so much for it.
This game is amazing. Similar to Civilization 1-5, but has it's own twist. The graphics were cute, which I liked. The game didn't have gore, so playing with my family is fun! The only thing I'd complain about is the technology page. Please add more technologies! Anyway, thanks for being great devs! P.S. this was worth my money.
This is the kind of game I have been dreaming for. If I was in game dev I would attempt to create something very similar. However, there is one serious downside to gameplay - maps in pass & play often are very unbalanced and this, after you master the game to a certain extent, always decides who wins the game. For example, one of players starts in an island with one village while others have lots of resources. Guys, if you fix this, I will gladly buy extra tribes and what not. So would some of my friends. Still five stars for everything of course, amazing game :)
I love this game. With that said this update has cause technical issues on my lg k10. If I receive a text while I'm playing I used to be able to respond while playing but now the game crashes if I try. My only other complaint is that the map size is so small now I miss when the more tribes you played with the bigger the map got. A single map size makes it only reasonable to play 1v1 and that's not very fun. Despite that this is the best game available for Android. It's beautiful, seamless, and challenging.
Love this game. It's simple to understand and complex to play. I've never been bored as the random world's created keep me on my toes. I would love to see new units added to the game to rival the Giants or the battleships though, because once the enemy gets enough of those monsters the battles get a little one sided. I'd also love to see bridges as a concept as the only way to cross over a small river is by boat. Other than that though I love this game. Keep it up!
Literally the best strategy game I have ever played. (On the phone that is). Can't wait for online play! Oh can you also prevent hackers on the leaderboards? It would be nice to see how I do against honest players...
Very fun game, pretty similar to CivRev. I just wish you could stack multiple units on one square or have your units move through occupied friendly squares. Personally, I think the Knights are very overpowered. I enjoy it though. Keep up the good work.
I'm blown away. This is one of the best free games I have ever had on a phone, if online is coming I will be buying the extra tribes. One thing that I would like is to be able to change the size of the maps, I want a Giant map for my domonation game.
As of the newest update, my only suggestion is to remove the mind bender. It is way to powerful. If it can instantly make an enemy giant into a friendly one, that is overpowered. I like the healing ability, so remove the mind Bender and replace it with something like a cleric, it can heal and not much else. Other than that, this game is amazing. Love the new update.
Great game, I love it ❤.... I have the same suggestions as others such as : - option to pay once for all the tribes - different interactions with other tribes like trade, alliance, neutral... - custom maps and infinite game play - online challenges with friends or random players
Amazing game, with only one gripe. I understand that the devs need money, but it would be amazing if there was a way to earn the locked civilizations for free. Make it super hard, like getting three stars on crazy difficukty to unlock one, but at least give the players the opportunity to possibly earn it if they work hard for them.
I LUV THIS GAME! >:3 It's perfect to play when no internet/bored. I played this for more than 4 hours for only one war 😂😂😂 Hey, Developer. I have idea c: Add musketeer :3 K Bai
BEST GAME EVER, doesn't waste u r time. Everyone basically starts equal, would give 5 star if there is an online version. MUST MAKE ONLINE VERSION :) Btw the attack, health and defense in the game is a bit confusing (if u could explain how to calculate how much health is lost with the defense and all)
A Nice lil TBS game for a minimalist with a small but Balanced Tech Tree, Relaxing and detailed Graphics, and easy to use Gameplay mechanics. I would recommend this "Gem" to someone who is New to Strategy games or even a veteran. Its the first game i install on all of my Androids.
This game is the meaning of what a strategy game should be. Turn based, expolarable and fun to pass time with. Sadly, you have to pay all the other characters separately which is a real downer, at least add an premium service like other games so we can get all the other characters for a one time fee, like $4-3, you would make more money and make us players alot happier.
I love this game. Totally worth paying for the other characters. I heard it's cheaper on androids than iPhones though. Would love online battles. I played the previous version of this game and I picked up a few improvement points but this update has covered all of them. Thanks again for a brilliant game Midjiwan AB
I normally don't write reviews... but I downloaded this game and really love it's simplicity... yet... it still challenges me. Sometimes bang up graphics and Bs hype aren't what the doctor ordered. The creator of this game understands that. Kudos on a job well done. I love this game. Anything this guy makes... I'll download.
