This game had a lot of potential. It could be doing so much better and so much more. There could be ranked matches, more game modes, etc. But the dev just doesn't give a crap.
The following are only SOME of the serious issues:
Players don't play to win. Since there are no ranked matches and there is no serious reward for winning, many players just screw around and don't make a serious effort. They fullsend for no reason, sit on max cap and don't attack or donate, ALLY the crown when he is close to winning, fullsend when it screws their own team over, or cut off other teammates.
Most players struggle to grasp the big picture. So many times I see players continue their petty wars when another player has conquered most of the other side of the map.
The chat is a terrible idea. No one really wanted this added to the game. Especially with an insane admin system. Why is some random chinese guy able to ban me because he has gold?
