I played this game A LOT for 3 years 7 years ago. Just decided to check it out a few days ago and was surprised that not much has changed. I quit back then because it is VERY addictive, and not in a good way. You are are constantly on the edge because you can get attacked at anytime, losing soldiers you may have bought with real money or painstakingly recruited, and burning your buildings and looting your resources. And because everything takes SO long to build, recruit, fix, it is really frustrating. Its a pay to progress game, so expect to pay a lot to get anything done. It's a shame because they did have some interesting events and rewards.
