Don't join the game! It's pay to win, and if you don't spend money, you will never get stronger. The game mechanisms never allow you to advance without spending money. You lose more than you gain in resources and soldiers, and timings of events do not benefit anyone in European countries. If it wasn't for the friends I made on this app, I would have left weeks ago. Many people have already left for this reason. And I refuse to spend anymore money, the amount I have spent isn't enough to win
