Well I have no problem with people paying for extra bonus and stuff but it has to be done tactfully. This game just gives way to much bonus and there are no limits to how many cards you can buy and how many you can use at once. Also the bonus are really wild and unrealistic a new army will just appear in style from nowhere, your scouts will move 3 times as fast instantly, part of your castle is instantly finished (what if you have 2 or 3 of these cards does that mean the whole castle is finished instantly?)

The last straw for me was reading here how you can move your stockpile/granary around. This is a huge bonus and incredibly easy to exploit as the closer your stockpile is to your production buildings it gives a huge bonus to their production and with premium you can move it around as if this was legos. I mean how do they justify moving entire building like this? Magic?  Give some kind of cool down or something at least. You can instantly boost production of some resource you need by something like 3X if you arange your buildings corectly and move the stockpile nextdoor.

If this was a beta or demo for a normal rts and we had all this crap in game trust me people would complain as well and say it needs to be balanced.
 

This is what I've noticed after 1 day of playing I would rather not invest more time in this and find it even more broken. Which it undoubtedly is.
It's a shame as I said befor it is a good example of this type of game otherwise.

Yeah i guess you are right there. They should have just left it at premium tokens and made crowns not purchasable with real money. If it was that way, I think the balance would be fine.

I don't use Premium..But I am in the top 700 players..and honestly just about no one really buys cards, the forum is pretty much always bombarded with hate because of the cards and all hell is let loose when the games free card timer fails.

I believe we're talking about full scale colonisation here.  You don't just leave all your shit in the van when you move house.

People really hate the cards? Strange, I like them.

My main gripe with the free cards is that you can't progress past 3/week without paying for it.

the thing is you can pay in as much real money as you want and buy as many cards as you can afford which allows people to buy the win.

They are probably still working out the kinks in the premium, it is a beta game anyways. Besides you can't use real money to buy votes so you still have to play to gain any sort of power over just being a villager.

Also, btw guys don't use up all the space at your resource spots since buildings like furniture makers have to be placed in those resource areas.

The ability to move buildings around was a lot more important than a queue

(By the way, queue is a really fucked up looking word.)

I agree with the 'card is bullshit' theory.

I had a look on the Isle of Wight, I was the first one there, 1 day later there are people more than 10 times better than me!
As a competition, it's retarded. I will however become a vassal of one of the stronger ones and try and survive.
