By far the best strategy game I've ever played. A wonderful blend of strategy, critical thinking, and diplomacy. The perfect game for the working man - the games play at a speed which allows for a busy life and doesn't need to be constantly checked (unless you're a maniac like me and you're running 5 games at a time). The latest update made everything very smooth and there's so many options when it comes to strategizing a win.

It's so good, but it's let down by being easy to cheat, the last game I was invited to an alliance which had two IRL friends working together, I suspect one also had an alt account making it 3 "players" total, when you rely on everyone being strangers to forge brand new diplomatic relations, context dependent on borders rather than pre-existing IRL friendships, this makes it a discord game basically, where you trust that every username maps to a real and SOLO individual. SUCH A GOOD GAME THOUGH!

Okay. Let me get one thing straight. This game WAS a five-star. However, after a week or so of playing, I realized just how limited you are without L2 access. And, I get it, gotta make money somehow, keep the servers up and all that, but if that's the case, why not just make this game pay to play? $15 is not an unreasonable price for full access to a game, don't get me wrong, but again. The P2P option was right there. Great concept, decent execution, but if you can't afford L2 like me, skip it.

Stumbled across this despite it being 10 years and it looks perfectly in my area of interest. I get excited and read the whole rulebook and wanna hop into a game just to find out that if want to be in more than one game at a time, or get access to some other simple features, I gotta pay. That's fine, I'm willing to spend money on a solid game. But FIFTEEN dollars for a mobile game? Idk, kind of a turn off when other great mobile games are usually half that price or less.
