PERSONAL OPINIONS & STATE OF THE GAME

MY EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS:

Personally, this game has given me a mixed set of emotions. This type of game, that being: "A Strategy Game" has become something that I have loved to play. It is honestly hard to find games where you can build a base, make up your army and attack others while also working together with clans and friends.

This game like others I have played have done a great job at that, but sadly, games like this one in particular seem to miss the importance of constant community interaction and updates.

The game over the years has received updates and especially things that reward Activity. Although, many issues still occur in the game in a sadly ever decreasing in popularity and use-case.. Flash.

Understandably bugs happen, and limitations are set in stone. But there are many things the game can still do to improve.

I have enjoyed the game, but at the same time became frustrated at the difficulty of it. The game sets out protections and helping hands to players who are weaker then others, especially after coming back from a long break or something else.

But it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with larger players, or those who have stronger armies without the need for the corrupt pay to win that seems to ruin many good games.

Understandably so, it's a reason also why I, and others, leave these games.

WHAT I WANT TO SEE:

I wish to see the game grow, giving players more abilities to recover themselves after losses, as I have become so terribly weak, that it is a serious struggle to even do anything without getting attacked or destroyed by players especially at tapsites, and I am well aware of risks and alternatives you can do to avoid being killed.

But playing a game and waiting weeks on end to build up an army then lose it to a battle or a few, is not okay or good game design.

It feels worthless, because all this time you spend for something so small, it drives me to leave games like this and I have been here for years, I just wish to see a game concept like this done better, and updates to the game to address these issues would be great.. but I doubt it would come into light.

Furthermore, the limitations of Flash do not see this game growing much beyond its current rate.. but I do think it still has a chance for work to be put in and still rewards both the player and the creator (Plarium)

FINAL THOUGHTS

I hope this game becomes better, or Plarium tries this concept in a more finalized engine like Unity or Unreal Engine and combines its entertaining style of game in a new way.

But until the game improves and makes it easier for someone like me to get back in, I don't see myself playing very often, or once again quitting for months because of the demoralizing gameplay I personally feel.
