I tried this game after giving up on the genre; I've played 15+ games of this style, all ended up Pay to Win-- this one bragged that it wasn't. I had faith. I was a fool. A couple hours in and I was lvl30, colonising my enemies, thriving with years of tactical experience, focusing on defense with a 100% win record So I open up the report menu-100k-1 million troops. Hrm. Okay. Thats the size of my entire army. I check his cities. 5 million total. No matter how you play, its still P2W. Bit sad :(
