Very disappointing. I started the game and the first 3 days were seriously addictive. I was even foolish enough to part with my hard earned money on their first "genuine" quest deals.

Then as the game goes on, it gets harder and harder to see any progress without spending more money on quest deals, which by this time, have increased exponentially. 1st deal ZAR40, currently ZAR800 (2000% is this profiteering at its best?). So basically, this is a rich gamers paradise. those who don't spend money just leave the game (and there little empires scattered around the digital realm). So in the end the guys with the bigger wallets or better economies will be the winner.

The game play starts to become monotonous if your empire is not progressing, as you wait for clocks to tick down over periods of days (yes, days!!). And due to the number of derelict mansions lying around, there's no real incite to attack any kingdoms.

To earn your gold (which you need to pay for all your upgrading at a faster rate), you need to camp at gold temples which will give you a coin every 15 minutes. A fat help this is, when you have to spend in '000's to upgrade. To me, this was their biggest missed opportunity. Here was he place to create the war, kingdoms fighting to get to the gold they need to upgrade their empires, sadly, the game revolves around personal spend, not about creating a gaming platform where all have a similar realistic chance.

Disappointed
