It's a nice and complex game. But...

- The in-game documentation is confusing and lacking sometimes. So you'll have to try things first to understand how they work. But by then you have already committed lots of resources to a path you might not want to go.
- Early trade is kind of unbalanced: Cotters make you tons of money (or rather, valuable items), but you first have to pay the tax rate, long before seeing the money, so it slows you down again. The trade system is also not particularly well explained in the game or the linked tutorial videos, which seem to be quite old.
- It's weird that each of your towns has to completely develop all (needed) technologies from scratch. Why no knowledge sharing in your empire?
- What eventually caused me to lose interest, the final straw, was that a quest description was misleading and I lost the quest due to that.
- If people in chat see that you are new, they will flood you with resources. This is apparently some sort of custom. If you don't want this, because you want to play your economy in a more natural way and you tell them, they might still do it. So you could end up not asking for help in chat at all, so as to go unnoticed.

Many of these things you might not mind. If so, this could be a game for you. For me it wasn't.

Sadly, I couldn't find any other online game with a similar concept and depth. Except for one in German language that I used to play. So if you are a German speaker, maybe check out 'Ritterburg':
