I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the new update has caused a glitch where I get a "no internet" warning every time I try to do something in the game, and it’s wasted a lot of my resources for no reason.

I love the game but…

This game is amazing I’ve loved playing it sense it was relatively new. It offers so much to it and is a great game overall. The only thing about it is that y’all advertise giant battles on the pictures when u look at the app and what you do in it, but when you load the game see what it is, it’s underwhelming. What I mean by this is, we need bigger battles, I feel like we don’t have enough of a big army. I’m sure you can just make the siege maps bigger to compromise this, but i feel like if you made it possible to somewhat have big army’s that could make the game a lot more enjoyable. This could also give more troop slots and maybe even more variety to troops. Instead of just your regular axe wielding infantry, you could add sword and shield troops or even spear troops which could make a phalanx. Another idea is related to the one of the newer features, the base, it’s pretty useless. Maybe for the base it could actually be a base, you could build you’re own castle to how you want it. And maybe make a new currency for the base called base coins or something. This currency would be for the base only. This would allow us to be limited to building our base but make it a challenge and more likely to stay hooked to the game. You could use any defense or decor that is in any other castle but you would be limited based on how much castle money you would have. Obviously these are just suggestions, but it would be really cool if some of this could be added.

Hello, Siegemaster! Thanks a lot for sharing your great review with us! Advertisement does not always transfer the gameplay like it is, it tailors to the player's attention, and we try different styles. Thanks a lot for all your suggestion, we'll gladly send them all to the developers.

Fun but major flaws

Overall I have a great time playing this game. I can’t give it more than 3 stars because of how the developers went about the “idle” part of this game. There’s a 2 hour cap on the money gathering and damage dealing for this game, opposed to nearly every other game in this genre having no cap. This isn’t a problem in the first few levels, it’s when you get beyond those few levels it becomes apparent. The little amount of gold you earn per minute combined with the 2 hour cap leads to spending multiple days to get through parts of stages, not even the whole thing. For some people who are able to get on every 2 hours this may not pose a problem but for people like me who work and play these games because I get to see the progress it’s made while in my pocket over the 8+ hours, it’s frustrating and almost a deal breaker. Compounded on that issue is the fact that you can pay to increase the offline time but it’s $4 for only 3 extra hours. Anyone doing simple math can see that buying that 7 times will only get you to 23/24 hours so for the last purchase of another $4 you’d only get 1 hour. $32 for 22 more hours is a ridiculous amount.

TLDR: fun for a bit but be prepared to be frustrated by the extremely slow progress in later stages and the expensive micro transactions.
