Still, I wouldn't say this is a perfect game. One great aspect of the game is that one can choose to play this game militarist, and other can do it based on goods production, and both can somewhat play all the mini games. And both functions are integrated in the mini games in such a way that even free players can get enough fun out of these (instead of facing frustration, as it occurs in most other war games). It's more like a sim city style game with the additional options for wars and trading.

Main theme of the game is empire building. In fact, attacking others gives you little benefits, and you would start avoiding after a while (unless you're too much into hurting others.) Then again, attacking each other is not crucial aspect of the game.

Only people in the neighborhood can attack each other, and they're mostly somewhat of the same strength. In reality in this game it doesn't matter how strong the other people on the server are, because no one can attack no one randomly. The people complaining wouldn't have learned the basic concept of the game and would have quit.

This game is unlike most other games out there, because it DOES NOT force you to spend money.
