I would give Cradle of empires a 5 star but I’ve been experiencing issues with every time I sign in it has to update. This takes a minute or two to update and sometimes that’s all the time I’ve got to play. Therefore each time it updates I back out and move on to another game. I’ve tried 3 times with Awen and all they say is they see crashes (but those are when I just back out as I don’t want to wait and I’ve explained that) and that I need a better internet connection so try resetting my modem and see if that works. I’ve done this 3 times and each time it doesn’t fix anything. They tell me I need to clear my Cache before I play, it always is. I’ve written to them and each time I get the same response, it’s something I’m doing. I’ve been playing this game for about 4 years, maybe more and I’ve told them if I don’t get the problem fixed then I will be deleting this game. Oops I’m sorry but it’s your fault. Try resetting your internet and clearing your cache or get on another internet. I’m trying very hard to hav onto this game as I don’t want 4 years of build up to go away but I don’t like it having to update each time I play. Hopefully there’s something else they can do but at this time it won’t be long before I delete and don’t come back if some real assistance is offered because obviously I’ve done all I can do on my end. Anyone else have this problem?

Love the Game-Hate the Cost

First - Fix the update! Put the timer back on. I have no clue if it’s even working or how much longer I have to wait till I get my next energy. I really hate that this was removed with the new update. And while I’m at it I don’t like the new look. It looks too cheap and kiddy. I liked the look before. Very crisp and clean and looked like money was put into design. It’s doesn’t now. Please fix this update. Now down to business. I absolutely love this game and would love it more if it wasn’t designed to make you spend your money. 3 minutes for one energy is terrible when the levels cost an average of 20-25 energy; or even some cost 30. To play one level that cost 30 energy I would have to wait an hour and a half. And odds are I won’t get what I need, IF I win the level. If I play this before bed and deplete all my energy, I won’t have all my energy back till sometime in the afternoon. Yes, I will have energy in the morning to play but not enough to have fun. Who wants to play a single round or two and then have to stop, not me. There isn’t anything you can do on this game when your out of energy so it’s best to wait till it’s filled back up and then play. But once it’s gone be prepared to wait....and wait.This game would be more enjoyable if it only cost you energy if you loose. It would keep me playing more if it did it that way and I wouldn’t mind spending money if this was the option. Otherwise make the levels with a higher win rate so it makes it worth it spending all that energy. Or decrease the energy regeneration rate. It goes by too fast.

This is a game to play in spare time, and instead of focusing on completing collections, I would complete the puzzles within the areas of the village. Much more fulfilling and doable. I am beginning to believe the only way to complete the collections is to buy them, and not win them. And yes, it takes a long time to charge enough lives to play. Expect to let it sit for at least 8 hours to get almost, not all, 350 lives (my current stage). As you progress further, you will need to use the bonus chargers to complete puzzles. I found I have to use them 75% of the time, otherwise, you will use all the lives to play a puzzle, and most likely get no where. And, many times, after completing a puzzle, you may not get the reward hidden in it. You will have to play it and successfully complete the puzzle at least 3x more to get it. I like the game, but you do feel like the rewards are small when you win a lot. I agree with other reviewers too, you should not lose your lives if you win the puzzle. It takes so long to recharge, it would only seem fair since you cannot get the rewards easily anyway when you win. There really is no give in this game. Play when you can (I check in every day just so I don't lose the daily gifts which at week's end, gives something bigger), but do not buy anything. You will end up spending a lot for your frustration, and only have to spend more as you reach higher levels. Good luck!

There are so many things that I love about this game. That’s why I stay a play. But the issues I have are 1. The infinity times of 15 and 30 and 60 minutes you have changed from being able to store and play when I can—- this is a change for the negative! Quite often I don’t have that time to be in the game for that time— Boo on the change. 2. Also one of the best gifts about the infinity play time was the beautiful gift of filling to total time of play when done with the infinity time. You want us to play right?!?! So let us play!!!!! I can’t afford to spend my money much on gaming— but when I can I spend it with you—- so when I run out of play time I leave the game to play other games that don’t charge me time in the game to play!!! With them it’s unlimited time all the time!!!! Why dose the all mighty dollar have to drive me from my favorite game?!?!?! Boo on the change!!! 3. My third problem is the cost again in every thing!!! Again the all mighty dollar again!!!! I spend my money in your game on cheaters so I can complete a puzzle!! I have spent a lot of money with poor return for it— if everyone that plays spends as much as my small amount I can afford —- y’all are very rich!!!!!! So Boo on the cost!! And the changes made to the best and only worthy gift of winning time to play. Why, why, why do you limit the playing of your game??????
