One of the best games you can play. Completely customizable cities, endless options and constantly updated content keep the game fresh. Want to participate in battles? Combat is simple yet engaging with plenty of tactical options. Want to become a trader? Focus in goods production.

I've been playing for years and have yet to get bored. I have progressed far enough to begin building "Great Buildings" & other short games within the game. There are some serious players that believe there way is best so I'm not so taken with everything that I need large spreadsheets to plot out my strategies. They are interesting to look at.

The developers continue to refine the play based on their experience & feedback. Excellent.

Trick for starting the game with a boost: my suggestion is to pay attention to your Forge Points.
Forge Points are probably the most essential element of the game. The points are mainly used to conduct Research which allows you to unlock more buildings and eventually evolve into a new era. However, the tricky part here is the fact that you only have limited Forge Points to consume. The Forge Point bar will only show a maximum of 10 Forge Points (the limit will eventually increase). Once a point is consumed, it will automatically refill after an hour.

Fun game. It's fun building up your city. But way too many events. They are getting to the point where they are expected with little time in between. If so many things are going to keep being added with events then more building space should be added. This is one of the most frustrating things in the game. Inno has added so many events with many different reward buildings but you still need the basics and great buildings leaving no room. So might as well skip the events.

Of course if events are your thing, don't listen to me.🤣 Giving the game Four Stars, as I'm only in the High Middle Ages cant speak for 90% of the game. The Support Function seems to be very helpful, I had an issue and so far it seems as tho it'll be resolved. The game has a lot to offer the more you get into the game, typical city builder, but really in depth, in my opinion.

Trick for extra Forge Points: If you are tired of waiting and you don’t want to spend diamonds for Forge Points, you might want to aim for Great Buildings. There are many Great buildings that can produce Forge Points especially when you upgrade them to their maximum level. A great building like the “Hagia Sophia” (Early Middle Age era) allows you to earn one forge point at Level 1 and 6 forge points upon reaching level 10.
The amount will exponentially increase after every 5 levels.
You can also get Forge Points from various Quests, Guild Expedition, Events, and Daily Rewards.

I have been playing over a year and enjoy playing. The events make the game more enjoyable and gives you a chance to collect additional goods, supplies etc.
A problem that I continue to have is the plundering from the higher level players on sometimes a daily basis. Its hard when you gather needed goods and then someone at a higher level can easily steal them from you. There needs to be a better way for the lower level players to fight this or have some kind of a revenge tool to use.

This building gives you access to the PVP arena Luckily, there are some strategies and tips for battles that we can use in order to have a better outcome.

Aside from building, research and exploring- you have opportunities to battle.
We’ll segue into the next Forge of Empires strategy dealing with battles. Here is where you visit the “Map” and drill down to territories you will want to conquer.
What I value about this game is that you actually get to control attacks in battles. On the battlefield you will notice a honeycomb-like grid formation. It’s turn-based combat so you get a chance to position your troops and attack, just as well as your opponent until the victor.
Please note: the game will determine the order of the turns.
This is important to know as it can influence your position and attacks. I personally suggest to attack as soon as possible moving your troops forward as much as possible holding the formation.
To execute this you place the troop then tap “Skip Turn” to advance to the next combatant. The key to winning is to out position your opponents.

Fantastic game, very well balanced so that you don't have to spend money to do perfectly well in the game.
Long term game that is best played over months, but very rewarding. Many different ways to play: fighting, trading, questing.
Frequent events to keep things interesting with nice prizes: usually able to get a maxed out prize without spending money. I've found this to be one of the better free city building games. With patience you can advance further into the game without spending money.
Expansion plots are a bit on the slim side as well, unless you want to buy diamonds, though some diamonds can be earned through some "quests". Would be nice to be able to rotate buildings.

Tips for earning Free Diamonds
Guild Expeditions is one of the main sources of diamonds for a lot of players.
At the first three stages of the guild expedition players are able to gain diamonds as a reward from every fourth chest.
There is a chance of 5-25% of receiving Diamonds 10 to 100 diamonds. The chance and the amount grows as the difficulty increases. In level 4 there are four chest that each have 50% chance for Diamonds 25 or 50 diamonds and two chests that may have a 50% chance for Diamonds 50 or 100 diamonds.
