First thing this game pushes you to use diamonds at almost every turn. It is not necessary to, but your progress will be very slow and will probably be painful. If you do spend $$$ you probably would need to spend 1000+ to really see results. Graphics are decent for a game like this so I don't really have any negatives to say about this. Gameplay has a lot of good things going for it, but also a lot of bad. The turn based battles involve some thought and strategy to it. If you are a good strategist you can take on a city an age or two higher than your current age and win if they don't have decent defenses. Currently there are four game modes world map where you fight npc opponents, Guild vs Guild where you and your guild fight other guilds for territory, the expedition where you can send your troops to fight to gain prizes for you and your guild and last your neighborhood where you can aid or attack other players. If you choose the latter route and win you get the option to plunder a building. Sometimes you can plunder it right away other times you need to wait a while til you get the option. The neighborhood system isn't really the best. You can be put into a hood with someone with tanks while you are still using swords or if you are lucky it could be the other way around. Players have complained about this problem and a lot of other ones for years and the Devs have consistently ignored the complaints. Communication options could be better. You have a Global chat bar with guild and neighborhood tabs under it that you can use to communicate with other players. A messaging system that you can use to talk to your guild or an individual player, but it seems very wonky. Overall I think FOE is alright looking game run by lousy devs that don't really care about their players. Most of the negative reviews on here are still true today because the devs don't really listen and just listen half heartedly to make it seem like they care. If you want to play it go ahead, but I wouldn't recommend spending my money or too much time in this game.
