★★★★★ "Hm. The gameplay is like any other civilization builder/gacha game so that wasn’t my issue. What really made me give it 1 star was the religious figures in it. I found it disrespectful all around and it made me uncomfortable." - i cant believe i did that

Hm
The gameplay is like any other civilization builder/gacha game so that wasn’t my issue. What really made me give it 1 star was the religious figures in it. I found it disrespectful all around and it made me uncomfortable.
Ads every couple of seconds
So many freaking ads
Gen AI slop
Forced tutorials and “press here”s, time limited icon frames, all the “art” screams generative AI along with the voices
Overwhelming UI where everything is a jumbled mess
they always push money/ad boosters in your face
Not to mention the automated support responses, anyone with common sense should stay away from this game

AI Ads
If you can’t be bothered to show the actual game in your ads you aren’t confident enough players will like it to be worth my time. If anyone sees AI ads they should never download the app.
Scam
Total scam. It’s amateur hour and they want a lot of money for it. Horrible customer support. If you can even call it that. Do not trust your money with this company. Their game support literally leads to payment and pack purchases how did this even end up on Apple Store is beyond me
ITS A SCAM
You’re number one indicator is when the Customer service is an AI agent..
All events are tied to spending ludicrous amounts of money.
In the event unlocking King Arthur, you would need to spend close to $2000 USD to unlock all 11 pages and stay in Top 5.
Players who can’t spend that much cannot keep up with server events.
Don’t waste your time or money just got play Civ 5/6

Server/game bug
Spent all day playing this just to hope on later in the evening to servers all being full. When switching to a new server the game deleted all of my progress and forced me to start again. This game is a waste of time so don’t bother wasting yours.
Forced
Hate games that don’t let you try to do it on your own, everything is forced down your throat from the actions you wish to do.
Bad
The matchmaking system doesn’t feel fair, since it frequently pairs you against more experienced or higher-level servers, making it difficult to compete on equal footing, also the customer service doesn’t reply
Unhelpful support
One of the events bugged out for my character and they basically told me oh well tough luck and won’t do anything to help.
Essentially brain rot
Seems like it was made by AI. Doesn’t feel originally and very boring stuff in my opinion
