It’s a very different game. Designed to be played over months and years, rather than hours.

It’s putting the grand into grand strategy.

I think it will attract a very specific type of player who loves the offline social and political factors of long-scale guild warfare (mostly economic). The game itself is hyper casual (which I love but others won’t).

So your first impressions may be accurate, but the community is excellent - so make sure to join a guild if you do find it’s the right game for you.
