    Some interesting ideas lie within Goodgame Empires. Running a kingdom, forming alliances, and conquering your enemies sounds like a recipe for success on paper. This however, is a recipe to bleed the pockets of anybody who plays – unless they have ridiculous patience.

I have been a player since around 2013 2012 and this game is just great. Thous are the only words i can use to describe this great creation. Another game by GG Studios is Galaxy but i will talk about that one later. Some people say this is pay to win. That isn't really true. You do have to pay if you want to speed things up by a lot I'm a lv 24 moving on 25 and i never bought rubes. Also you can't play to win because you can't win the game just goes on and on never stopping always giving players a reason to play Expand

    Been playing for 2 years and I have seen game balance go down the tubes. GGE only caters the players who buy now t hese days. All theBeen playing for 2 years and I have seen game balance go down the tubes. GGE only caters the players who buy now t hese days. All the tourneys are set so you can only buy the victory not earn it through hard play and skill. The non and low spenders are left out in the cold from tourneys and the good equipment. I am from the old school who believes that a game should be about earning the win not buying the win. It could be a great game if they would address these issues but they refuse to. I don't think much of those who "Buy" the victory. Expand

This game is clearly out of sense. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME! EVER!

    If you value your sanity and your wallet, do not play this game. Money wise, you're fine up until you hit level 50 or so, that's when every starts to go wrong. Most people above lvl 50 are either ruby buyers or those under the protection of ruby buyers. But that is not the worst of it.

    The absolutely most despicable thing about this game are the people that play it. EVERY. SINGLE. BIG ALLIANCE is full of nothing but bullies who make you set up your stuff their way if you want to be a part of their alliance. I switched to a big alliance yesterday and when it was moving toward them telling me how to play my game, I firmly, but politely explained that I do not take kindly to dictatorship and that I had no problems leaving. The leader called me mouthy and "nicely" said "play my way or gtfo". You can't swear or even call someone an idiot in a message.

    Not only that, but most of them follow a set of imaginary rules that new players couldn't possibly know about, such not attacking outposts. (Read my original comment and you'll see that story.) Many of them do not follows their own rules. One of my outposts was attacked yesterday by a player 20 lvls ahead of me. It had 160ish, attacking, not defending, ATTACKING soldiers in it and he sent over 1,200. I messaged him a couple of times and told him to "grow up" after he respond like a child. He then attacked BOTH of my other two outposts. At this point, I'm done with this ridiculous game.

    There is absolutely no honor, dignity, or sportsmanship in this game. If you do anything, ANYTHING, that a strong player doesn't like, they will have no problem making sure you know about it... by burning your castles to the ground.

    Obviously, those who spend real money on the game should have a slight advantage, but the way this game is set up, you will absolutely NOT get much passed lvl 50 if you don't spend money on it. There are constant pop-ups trying to get you to buy rubies for rewards and they don't have ANYWAY for free users to earn some stronger stuff like most games do.

    I give this game 2 years before it ends up shutting down. My little area of the map has lost a lot of players and I know it's happening in the rest of it too. This is because of all that I mentioned above and in my original comment. At some point in the near future, there will pretty much only be lvl 70 players who sit around doing nothing because they can't win any battles against players their own strength. That will lead to a sharp decline in goodgame's income because no one will need to buy many rubies since they won't be doing much. I've seen it happen before and it's happening here. More proof, I've noticed in the last couple of months that they're pushing players even harder to buy rubies than they did when I started. If that's not evidence that Empire is already swirling the drain, I don't know what is.

    I'm posting this on every review site for Empire I can find.
