Impossible to do well without spending major $$$$

This game is fun and competitive until you reach the 6th age. The crown system is lopsided and makes it impossible to do well or rank without spending a lot of money. You get attacked and you lose 14 crowns, but then you can never fight enough battles against competitive enough opponents to win more than two crowns at a time - and better win because it costs you 5-9 crowns when you lose. On top of all this you have to wait soooo long to build or upgrade anything- literally days and weeks. I played up until age 6 and then it just stopped being fun. The original AOE games were fun - this game is just a money trap.
