Been playing for 2 years to kill time, 1.5 years have been free to play. Art of war team has made some progress in helping the game be ftp. Don't get trapped into spending because this game is expensive. Very expensive. Also the teams response is a bad joke, you need to spend resources to get better troops, they imply that saving resources to buy 1 legendary card is better than upgrading your troops. Anyone who gave this game 5 star rating is a bot.
