Question about exactly what type of game this is?

Hi, I've just started playing this game...literally, I've been playing for about 30 minutes.

What I've seen so far I love. I've played Settlers 7 a lot and loved that game, so seeing this here now leads me to believe I will also love this game.

However...

There are some things I've come to expect from a lot of these Free To Play games, and though I've found some that do not have what I do not like, most do.

So my question is this.

Does this game have PVP? And if it does, does it affect my progression at all?

See, I'm not a fan of PVP. I'm not totally against it, and I can say I have enjoyed some PVP from time to time. What I don't like is for my game, my progression, my success to be dependent on whether or not other players are constantly attacking me or not!

Do I have to worry about that in this game? or can I play my game and enjoy it without worrying about uber players constantly attacking me?

Also, can I be successful in this game without purchasing anything will real world money? There have been other Free To Play games I've played, and if I like them enough I have no problem paying for an optional subscription and no problem purchasing extras, but I don't like it being a requirement for success.

Thanks

This game is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon... wrapped around a large gold brick

OK, that was a funny exchange...but could you answer the questions I asked too? Please!

so now i will actually read your question....


no there is no pvp.

it should come out around the same time the mayans say we are all going to die which i think is 2040.


you can do well in this game without putting money in...

as you get further along you might want to put say 30 bucks in that is to get building licesness... everything else you can pretty much buy through other traders.

this game you can play at your own pace... no one is out to get you or will steal your stuff.

Oh....that is absolutely EXCELLENT!!!!

I am really glad to hear that...sounds like ubisoft has made this game exactly the way I like. I may be here for a while.

Thank you for the reply and info!

yep np..

new player advice...

follow tutorial.. save gems for building licenses… then look at generals (they are pricey)… the other stuff you can get later like noble residences (increase population without taking building license.

If you have questions go to help tab… global 1 requires penicillin shots… when you get more developed and want to trade stuff (after level 17) head on over to global 2... it is where we do auctions…
/joinchat global-2

Never spend gems on anything other than building licenses if you are never going to put money in…

Once a week you will get gems so you will get enough eventually without ever putting money in..

dont drink two pangalactic gargoblasters unless you're a 30 ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia

and you need at least $50 for some essentials like fast generals

As others have said, PVP is *eventually* going to come out. But it will not be mandatory, it will be optional, and will not affect your game/playstyle unless you want it to.

A word on Gems.... they are absolutely not mandatory to get to the top end of the game, but they can help you on your journey to get there....

That said, if you do decide you want to spend some $ on the game, I highly recommend buying the $25 or $50 dollar bundle when you have the chance, as it's more efficient than spending 5 here, then 10, then 5. And ultimately, 50 bucks will cover all the good stuff you'll ever need from the game, it will buy you a Veteran General (250 troops and fast instead of the 200 ones) anywhere from 10-100 building licenses, a couple of the Savage Scouts and maybe a unique building like the Recycling Plant.

Also, about buying gems, they have gem sales every few weeks, where you either get more gems per bundle, or the price of said bundles comes down, and is the perfect time to buy them :)

This isn't a game, it's a fish tank. If you realize that, you might actually enjoy it more.

this game is a waste of time, ubi is doing everything they can to force everyone into buying gems to make the game playable. The end game right now is to run endless adventures and get carpal tunnel spamming fields and wells.

My boss caught me playing at work.

I convinced him it was not a game at all.

Now he thinks it's resource management training software with a graphical user interface.

He actually wants to make it a requirement for the whole Dept.

I would say it's a hording game. Server full of people hording uhmm ... numbers, I guess?

Having just leveled at 48, for me the game is as many db's as I can do to level 50 and be a coin millionaire.
My economy has long been turning a hefty profit.
The depth of the game as regards to interest level grows exponentially as you get everything leveled up to 5.
Eventually the new trade system is coming.
Then pvp?
