   First I'm evaluating this game for what it is. A browser based game. This means I put less emphasis on Graphics, depth of play and Sound. The reason: It's a browser based game.... Nuff said.
   
   Graphics: Again It's a browser based game. I've seen slightly better and worse in browser games. Effect on score 0
   
   Sound. Not too bad actually. I had the sound on for a while when I started playing before I set it to mute (Because I play this game while I do boring paper work in my home office) Score +1
   
   Gameplay: This game is quite good. There is a PvP aspect but it is optional. There's a significant singleplayer part which is awesome. You can't lose everything you sunk your time into to another player and the game doesn't reset. +1
   
   Progression: The Pay-wall... Always a negative. It's not as bad as in other games, but the limited space and how the game kinda sorta wants to force you to use (diamonds) to pay to get extra space... I saw this as a kind of negative... It sucks to be in an age and literally run out of the ability to build stuff because you don't have enough space to make it work.. also a REALLY frustrating part is getting Blueprints for Great Buildings. There's a RNG component to it and it seems rigged.... You need 1 of each copy of 9 to build the building... and through the RNG I've had 6-9 of each copy except 1 is at ZERO... I've had this happen to 3 Great Buildings... So the frustration of this is a -3 to the score all things considered.
   
   Social. Not so good... The messaging system is kinda poorly designed. You can't tell who is actively online unless they send a message or talk and they can't see if you're online. The Live-chat is ok... but kinda limited as well. Score -2
   
   Design: The game is well designed and flows well. It's unique in the Browser based games : Score +1
   
   It's worth playing. It does kill time, and paying isn't ABSOLUTELY necessary but the RNG is frustrating. They could work on the social aspect a little as it's a draw back and even with good IRL friends we end up talking on Facebook and not in the game… Expand

It basically forces you to log in and play every day, and take part in massively time-consuming events to get anywhere. They give you a small play area as standard, then get you to pay real money to expand. And it's not cheap. I chucked over $200 at it before realising what a massive money-pit this game is. Don't get sucked in. If you're bored, buy a PC game - it will be way cheaper in the long run, and you can play it when you like. I spoke to people on there with high rankings who had poured thousands into the game. For that money you could buy a new PC, a PS and an XBox and still have change! Avoid at all costs (and the costs will be high)… Expand

Now unfortunately, Many of the top tier players have been ambushed by Inno ( game inventor ). After waiting for a very long time for a new space age to become available for top players, they changed the way to game is played. Players all over the internet are complaining about how they have taken away all military power from this level. Nobody should go to Titan World. It is no fun anymore, FoE is now dedicating all of their efforts to getting new players to spend money and brush aside the players that have been with FoE for years. SAD… Expand

I KNOW they cheat. They tell me how they do it. Their IP addresses are the same for multiple accounts and yet, Inno does nothing. It seems as long as you're a paying player, you can cheat all the time and no one cares. The main cheating is done by having multiple accounts on the same world and using those accounts for the benefit of the main player's city and the guild they run. They even banned the worst two for cheating when they caught them cheating a couple of years ago, then they let them come back. They both cheat now more than they did back then. Nothing happens to them. The developers and support personnel do not care.… Expand
