5 stars: Great game! I have played for several years on and off time permitting and have seen the hardwork and improvements over the years. Very well put together and thought out. It jibes and allows you to choose your level of participation without falling behind. No ads,, Some buildings do require gem purchases for upgrades but to be honest they are reasonable and a great game needs to have monetary support to be great.
4 stars: Basically a fun building game that allows intermitant play without necessarily having to pay. Buying gems allows greater progress and is necessary for some building development. There are also limitations on building if you are a solo player, as group participation is required to get the ability to enhance special structures. Beyond these points I've generally enjoyed playing this game from time to time.
5 stars: It is a very good economy game for those who do not like their settlement to get destroyed by another player if you overslept and didn't save your army. Graphics are nice, economy balance is ok, market functionality allows you to progress smoothly. I've been playing it for couple of month now, still excited by progress and events.
5 stars: This is a exceptionally well design game I play one hour per day and I'm advancing easily takes a bit to figure out a routine but all around the game is awesome haven't found many glitches every now and then you do have to be patient!! P.s I do have to say good job to the developers two thumbs...
