While this game is fun it will eventually become pay to win. The matchmaking in this game favors states that spend more money, matchmaking should either be based on money spent per alliance or hero power. As an example of how bad the matchmaking is: in our Eden state season X1, 19 out of top 20 lord power rankings are in South faction. Two things that are needed to spend money on to stay even close to being relevant. VIP shop $100 and there is a good chance you will need to immigrate $15-30.
