User reviews
Cheating "Master" AI are completely unfair to face. They just use their stat advantage and rush your position everytime. Trying to farm or battle them simply doesn't work unless the map is perfect, and occasionally they win trades by gambling. You almost had the perfect competitive game and ruined it with artificial difficulty. Same reasons I stopped playing years ago.

The game is not great. The RNG can be frustrating, especially when you're blind to the odds. It's also too easy to hit the auto-populate button for reinforcements. The achievements and goals are set to unreasonably and arbitrarily high amounts- clearly these numbers weren't playtested, and it makes the experience DUMB. Finally, the game blatantly cheats on the master difficulty, which makes it distinctly not fun. One star, do not get.

Fun game, minimal ads. Good strategy game to kill time with. Lowered a star for the AI being poor and and game being very unfair on the most advanced AI. It is impossible to win with the 2 or 3 highest AI. The math seems way off how they plow thru so fast. I think the points system is faulted. Sometimes my 2 or 3 spot cannot get past a 1 or 2 spot; I don't understand their math.
