I bought many packages of 50/80 to 100 euro, spending about 500 euro on game in short time. I feel the value I get back is too low, because all armies are gone on not understanding battlegrounds, which is soo complex that you need special calculators which is ridiculous. A friend of mine that I introduded to the game never really invested money, but gets 3000% discount packages for 10 euro, while I, spending much more never saw a 3000% discount package. Now I cant believe I spent so much for some nice looking pictures representing armies fighting wars while you never see an actual fight, only the results. In some commercial pictures you show armies with health (green-red) indicators above them, implying there is actual fighting AoE-style. Another misleading thing is to say in sapphire packages that there are only 3 left, which is not true of course. I could report this to the Dutch Reclame Code Commissie, but Im too lazy.
I reached lvl 81 or so in BG and without armies it will take me forever to take it, so I play ascending to a level I can handle, like 20, usually without unit rewards. I kinda refuse to learn how to play BG's smart. If you wanna keep a system for which you need a higher Stormfall University degree, then do it and see how long I last. I was looking for a game that is fun to play, not to brake my brains over.
Hamlets are useless because everyone will attack you no matter how large your def army, especially during Hamlet tournaments. As you can see, all Hamlets in general are unoccupied.
I need 1800 sketches to complete Forge to lvl7, lacking over 1k. All the mean time, my 4 constructors are sitting still. All the game is, is another AoE tamagotchi where I do my daily stuff, untill there is nothing to do and then leave game again and wait for another day. This makes me become less and less interested to play in general.
The information within the game is like... zero. Its not intuitive gameplay with ingame support. Why for example doesnt the game itself tell me what units to send to what BG? Why would you give such great advantage to only a few that really understand how it works?
There should be an option to click away the moving commercials for packages, since Im not gonna buy any anymore, and they are hovering above the iron I need to collect, making me have to zoom in every time to collect iron on mobile phone, which is very annoying.
Hope you can do something with my thoughts. I probably wont read back any reply, so.. good luck!
