CivCrafter 4+

Epic! Nothing bad about it! One of my favourite games! I play it a lot!

Edit: (probably about a year later.) this game is still good, but you should make it so that wonders and other materials build over time. Doesn’t matter how much it is, possibly 1 hour offline = 20 minutes online. Otherwise, top notch game! (Also, try and do more updates.)

Edit 2: also, wonders are incredibly underpowered (I’m pretty sure). Every nine wonders, which takes about 10 weeks, you get a 15% bonus to all resources. It also increases the amount of materials it takes to complete a wonder to 150 million. If you go to 100 wonders to each resource, the cost of wonders is 10.2 billion of each material. And, from the wonders, you get a 10x bonus to each resource. From my calculations, it takes about 10x longer to get a wonder than with 0 wonders. Unless 100’s of thousands of cats do something, it is almost useless to get wonders. So, make wonders either different, or make the bonus higher.

Everything about this game is great in the sense of a clicker based game, my only gripe about it though is the internet connectivity thing that is required to continue throughout some sections

most resource management games force you to wait longer and longer times for each new upgrade. this quickly gets boring and/or expensive.

but civcrafter lets you choose how much to upgrade at a time. this lets you do small upgrades when you have time to play, and big upgrades overnight. you can also tap for individual upgrades, which gets things done faster; as long as you can tap really fast.

this game sucked me in for 4 whole days, and i would've given it 5 stars, but the endgame rewards are totally disappointing. here are examples:
* if you tap the screen 1 million times to build 100 tower levels, you only get rewarded with 5 gold (real world value of just 5 cents!!!)
* if you consume 100 million of every resource to build a wonder, you get a 10% bonus to a single resource and have to start the game all over again!
* it looks like most of the other players are bots, so you don't have anyone interesting to fight against and you have no chance of getting to the top of the leaderboards (bots cheat).

overall, civcrafter shows a lot of promise with its versatile build times, but it needs to be developed much further before i'd recommend it to lovers of the resource management genre.
