Very unbalanced for new players. I played last night and was enjoying it then all my cities taken over. I had maybe 50k troops vs this dude 1 million. It would take too much of my time to even fight back so uninstalled. 2 stars because at least the adverts were not misleading. Still game is design to discourage new players. Update: I'm curious on how your game is "balanced that way." Your game is again, designed to discourage new players. Fun for invested players where strategy is applicable. But 50k troops vs 1mil. Excuse me after he wiped out all my cities I had less than 400 troops left surrounded by my old cities that he upgraded to the 50s. You can invest some focus on how to improve new players starting experience with safety nets to let them grow in the game to where strategy is applicable. I will equivalate it to playing RISK and starting a new game, but your opponent already owns All but one continent. The lack lustering response brings down my initial rating.
