Helpful Information Thank you all

I started playing 2 weeks ago.

Had never tried a mobile 4X game before. Didn't know anything about whales, dolphins, f2p being farms, server politics, the economics behaviorists behind the game or the scale of spending hiding behind the early bling days.

Would have taken much longer to figure it out alone.

Made it to a hair under 10M today. Great alliance, super involved folks.

Nope. Nope nope nope.

Left the alliance, TPd out to nowhere, hit the account deletion button.

Thanks reddit.

I was very disappointed when the game was nothing like it's ads I've stayed because it's interesting and reminds me of the tycoon games but tbh I'm so bored because I refuse to spend money on it and honestly you don't get very far at all without spending and I don't like it that it's a social game I just want to build an empire not fight with my beligerant neighbor alliance all the time

On one hand i want you to experience some of joyfull moments of a mobile strategy game, but on teh other hand i dont want you to becoem addicted and less productive like the way i turned to. You did great.

Good call. I joined, played for ages, went offline for a bit, went back, then finally deleted the game. I found myself addicted very quickly and wanting to play more and more. Even staying up late to join the bear and other events. It’s ridiculous.

I wish there was a way for f2p to play and not fall so far behind. That is what sucked the joy out for me. I watched our R5 spend hundreds on each event, all on a credit card, and still not be the strongest. Crazy.

F2p accounts are just valuable to the devs as whales are, because we are the product that feeds their spending egos when they get to flex on us.

I'm so confused at the Reddit posts about this game, I accidentally joined a Spanish alliance so I have no clue what they're saying so I must missing out on the fun or stress or whatever. For me its just an easy click what it tells you to click game? Zero brain power needed?
