Do not play. You will hit a pay wall. Their packages are not cheap. $100 won't even get you enough materials to be competitive. Also, Scopely limits your daily rewards so that you have to pay and Unfortunately, like most other games of this kind, an Alliance on a server will get really big and push everyone around. And because most players who won't dump $1000 in the game to be competitive, you're the one getting picked on while the whales joke about how cool pvp is.
