I've played this game almost since it was released in 2012. its very sad to see literally almost nothing has changed except for new maps, but its always been a great game. it just needs some tlc, like why can we not see what scouts are carrying when the deposit disappears or have to hunt down every merchant weve sent to find out when they will arrive. when you start getting multiple villages its very easy to miss something like this and it makes me choose the pc version everytime aside from when im not home. honestly, the pc version is far superior but veterans like me need some new content, at the very list allow us to mod ui, audio, textures, etc. if the devs/managers dont want to do it the community will surely do it. this game has so much potential and the veterans just want to see this potential fulfilled. a next gen update would bring back every player and bring in tons of new players, it just seems like the managers dont know the pile of gold theyre sitting on and are content with as is.
Don’t listen to the players

Not bad
Inigo Monotya
Not bad, reminds me a bit of stronghold with a dash of clash of clans style.While fun I have encountered a few glitches such as quests refusing to actually give you their rewards and the music completely disappearing. The game also doesn’t hold your hand so it’s easy to miss things, but if you ply for a bit you’ll kind of figure things out. I wouldn’t mind some more building info and descriptions in castle view, but I’ll take what I can get. It’s better than clash in my opinion but I still have a couple things to get used to. I definitely feel more free though.You have a good deal of freedom with research choices, and production doesn’t feel too confining, the overworked map is also a cool feature as well as castle view separated from village view. Simplified units is also an interesting choice though I wouldn’t mind perhaps a spearman unit for early game and slingers, something to give military options earlier, I kind of feel like I can’t do anything militarily right now. Last comment would be I wish you could buy more construction workers with in game currency, being limited to one after a couple days makes it a bit slower but I get running the servers costs money so there is a hope we’ll buy a pass. I wouldn’t even mind some optional ads for small rewards like a temporary construction worker.
Lots of Waiting Around, not much playing

This thing (can’t even really call it a game) is absolutely FILLED with timers. Want another villager to show up (which in the pc is based on housing space) wait 12 HOURS. Of course you could increase your happiness to bring the rate up, but that requires reducing taxes and using massive bribes. So, you can get villagers but waste all of your money. Alright then, what about increasing food supply? Well the happiness bonus extra food rations provide is almost nothing, so you need to waste absolute tons of food, more than you can reasonably produce. So then, I can either waste all my money to get more villagers, and then waste all my villagers producing food, or just sit around doing nothing. But the technology system (which features, you guessed it, timed research) allows you to increase food production. So just do that then right? Well no. Because after a grace period at the start of the game to research 1 thing you need research points which increase in price every time you buy them, meaning to research 1 thing you need MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF COINS. But wait, all my coins are gone because I was forced to give them to my villagers just so they would show up. Now I’ve spent weeks playing, and just have to come back every few days so I can hit a few buttons and then log off because there is LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE TO DO. Alright, it’ll all be worth it once I build up a massive castle and army and start conquering the world right? Nope, people who pay money just attack you from half way across the world because you have a village built up and they want it. So you lose everything and have to RESTART FROM SCRATCH. Absolutely awful do not play.
