The game is boring if not that I spent money onto it I would already has uninstalled the game. Only by a gold you can get the shield , the game treats you as you need to be all the time inside a liitle bit of soldiers take a day to be recruited , no epic battles the only way to see a battle is to protect the city while on event.
game relies heavily on paying money and buying gold, event the game events revolves around getting gold, events even have permanent buff items that you have to pay for
