Expensive and aggravating
Unless you are willing to pay literally hundreds of dollars, you will be unable to enjoy this game. You will be constantly attacked and basically never be able to defend yourself properly. It is totally unbalanced. Once you reach level 8 or 9, give up on thinking youll increase in power. Every time you gather any resources or build troops someone will attack you and take it all. Unless you want to pay for a "shield" which then lets you farm more resources for someone to steal as soon as you lose your shield. Avoid this game unless you like being nothing but a sheep for other players to shear.
