As I continue playing, I have been focusing on the story line and completing quests while keeping my empire happy. I haven’t expanded much, so the continent map isn’t very large for me. It’s hard to navigate the continent map since it limits you on how far up or down you can go depending on how much land you’ve acquired. I like that each part that can be conquered has a name so you realize that is another empire where people rule and live; this makes it more impacting and purposeful. The map, from what I see, also includes many land types from flat and grassy to steep and mountainous.

The technology ages depend on how much research you have done. Currently, i am in the Bronze Age since I haven’t been able to play much. Technically, the age you are in depends on how many forge points you acquire or how long you are willing to wait for them to regenerate. The only way you can do research is through these points. This seems like another scam such as the different types of currencies and this is all a way to take money while keeping the player intrigued, because the more modern technology age you’re in, the better your empire is and the higher the ranking you have. Even so, each of these ages have specific buildings and levels in order to advance, which is interesting because it appears that they follow the types of buildings in the time this game is set. I hope I can advance to the next age soon and without spending extra money so I can achieve a better ranking and eventually be able to join a guild.
