Don't bother. Other games do it better. There is a lot needed to fix. Heavily reliant on mines get anywhere. Clearing trees takes so many rounds worth of income. Enemies get super strong quickly. You can't rearrange your base after placing things because you can only hold 3 in storage. Hero upgrades require gems instead of gold like everything else. Everything about this game screams "pay for me" Forcing ads to play is a terrible way to treat players, especially if kids are going to play.

The latest update was not good. First, all of my buildings, and troops started over at level 1, second, 90% of the ads crash the game if they work at all, and lastly, costs went up so it's more difficult to level all of the above back to where it was before the update. The devs should have thought things through a little better because they've ruined what was a great 5* game. No I'm not wasting my time with an in-game ticket.

EDIT & UPDATE: I emailed them my issues since the update and they quickly fixed my issues! they went above and beyond! with the update, they seemed to have basically started me over, even though I was so far ahead in the game. Now I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to replay from the beginning every time because I can't defeat anything on my current level. I also paid for 2x's speed and that's gone, as well as my skip video tokens.
