Excessive rewards: Giving up after 3 days because -1.5k food
Hey guys
I'm a new player, so this is my first impression. But since I'm leaving this game I wanted to tell you what I think.
I found the initial phase surprisingly okay, compared to similar games. With more units I always struggled with food which was kind of interesting.
But on day 2 I got the idea to spend a few $ on the Welcome Package. Not sure why it had a big discount, but it worked for me. It included numerous units that instantly decreased my food balance to -1.2k.
Later that same day, due to the many raids and battles I was fighting from the beginning, and on the next day, I received numerous rewards that, surprisingly, included even more units, so that I ended up soon with a -1.5k food balance. I am level 23. It's pointless.
I've read today that you can disband units in the "Council Hall", but since I cannot build (or find) it, the game becomes unbalanced. I run in circles. I've heard that -1.5k food is not that bad, and that units constantly run your food barns dry. But, well, if this is true, then the game is even more pointless, isn't it?
I feel that this game is badly designed and balanced. It makes no sense what happened to me, and even if I would remove those additional units, it is not fun and it feels bad, and it annoys me greatly. I am also surprised about the flood of additional currency (in terms of game design, all kind of extra points, coins and medals, even different scrolls for research) that you soon lost track of.
It's too bad though because I was looking for a browser strategy MMO with sort of good graphics, actually.
Good luck to you guys, and enjoy! I'm done.
With best regards
