Awesome game, ignore the bad hype you might read. Things have changed and the new developer has greatly improved the game and any abuse. Try it out and if you\'re new and need help, come talk. Many of us are willing to help new players in the game. I\'ve played this game for over a decade and I\'m glad the game was re-released recently. It\'s a turn based game, try to complete all research and buildings first before joining teams and wars, ask for help in chat, people are very helpful but witty. The best parts of the game are: it\'s a fantastic strategy game that requires team effort to win and, most importantly, you don\'t need to spend a lot of money (unlike many games) to be a good competition in wars. Your activity and smart plays can balance the field. I\'ll admit it\'s a little slow doing builds and research, but once you finish and start building the champion and the war, the game becomes highly addictive.. It\'s also not a pay-to-win. necessary as it is limited in how big you can get. Just work the wars and you\'ll get there with in-game rewards. Great developer now who also cares about his game and is always listening and trying to improve it.
