Very interesting game. I enjoy this very much. But, how do you pause the game?

Three years on FoE, and I still learn new cool things. I hate interacting with every other game. But I Have found a community here. Other games drift in and out of my world. But I am a helpless Forger for life. :)

Enjoyable.

I love this game, it’s so addicting and my new favorite game. It can get a bit pricey if you purchase diamonds which helps speed up some parts of the game. It does start off a bit confusing but after I got the hang of everything I love it. They do have some tutorials which help but wish it was clearer at the beginning but all in all a great game!

This is a neat little game - a combination it seems of Civilization and Age of Wonders. Excellent game overall!

It takes a while to do things tho

I enjoy this very much.you do have to be careful & plan your expenses because they can climb but I seldom have to go overboard. In my guild, the Fair Traders,they are very helpful.

Excellent game all around. Simple to get started, multiple strategy options, good graphics/lay-out, well designed. After playing for a couple of hours, I spent 9.99 Modest In-App purchase well worth it. Will most likely make a couple more. I paid $40-$60 for the Civ games when they came on cd’s Don’t mind shelling out $9.99 once a month or so for a game of equal quality. I look at it as an installment plan😀

I really enjoying playing this game

If you play free it’s all good. But when you try to buy diamonds they charge your bank account and you never receive the purchased diamonds.

I played this game hoping I could just build settlements, exchange goods, do quests etc. It started of well till production of certain goods generated hardly any product and you had to wait to build your inventory. What’s messed up is when you wait to get your goods and some other player just comes in and plunders it. I am going to give this game another week or so to see if that continues to happen, if it does I’m out of here.

It’s the best game that I’ve found. You get out of it, what you want out of it.

Why does it reset my game ???

Ill change my review to 5 if they bring back the swipe collect. Its bad that they got rid of that. Would also be cool if they let you collect over 100fp

I been playing the game for about 2 months now, and used to really enjoy the game. Recently though, the joy is just being sucked out of it for me because of increased frequency of plundering, an aspect of the game I thoroughly dislike and from which I derive no pleasure, and especially by players that are so advanced that there is no earthly way I can compete. I play games to relax and enjoy, and as soon as that ceases, it’s time for me to move on. I am fast approaching that point. I wish the developers would reconsider this aspect of the game, because it caters to a tiny minority, but it ruins the fun and enjoyment for far more people than it satisfies.

I enjoy playing this game

Definitely recommend trying this one! It’s awesome. You have to use strategy to advance and helps to have teamwork.

I’ve lost a lot of diamonds because there is no “are you sure about this purchase” kind of thing. Just with the pandemic when I do have a few extra dollars it really is disappointing to loose them so easily and often. Other then that absolutely awesome game guys!

ALL THE STUFF YOU CAN DO! THIS FEELS LIKE REAL LIFE BUT A SIMULATOR!

Cancelled my game. Too expensive and their support for botched purchases is pathetic.

This was a good idea gone bad. I very quickly got to a point that I couldn’t build new buildings without diamonds and the only way to get diamonds was to buy them. No thanks.

Get ready to pay for everything in this game, unless you don't mind waiting days for simple resources.

When I went to play again I was at the game medieval age but then I saw MY HOLE TOWN WAS GONE AND I LOST MY PROGRESS please fix that but is a good game but please fix it.

Game is not enjoyable in that the play is not apparent or intuitive at all!! The fact that you spend hard earned rewards only to later have them stolen away by thieves is a great example for children and teens that hard work has no point and why earn when you can steal. It’s about Craftiness rather than ingenuity. Not a good game.

The tech tree makes no sense, and I was at the EMA and then I was reset!!

It’s nice to play so far and I’m liking it however, I’m unable to add friends (that I actually know) why is it no matter how many times I double check we are in the same world. I can’t find my friends. Is it a bug or glitch or something. When will it be fixed?

Hi team, having a great time getting into the game. Unfortunately I started having issues logging in and the app is telling me I lost connection and I am not connected to game center. Please fix this problem and let me know how I can make up for lost time advancing my city. Had multiple progress activities going on at the same time.

ReLly

I love city building games and FoE is about as good as you can get. For a mobile game, this one is near perfect in every way. This game seems simple at the start but the more you get into it, the more deep it gets. Huge amount of buildings to choose from. Build your city how it works best for you. Moving up in age is meant to take time. Don’t rush it. Stay in each age for several months. Build up your army strength, level up your Great Buildings. Join a helpful guild that can give you tips. Interact with players from out there in the real world. The game never gets boring, always something to do. The dev’s create special events which are fun and challenging to get special reward buildings. The game actually has a huge learning curve. Google and YouTube tutorials are Your best friend til you figure out everything. No annoying pop up adds disrupt your play. You can play every single aspect of the game without purchasing diamonds (the games premium currency) but obviously buying and using diamonds can speed things up. The game also gives you chances to win diamonds through the Guild Expedition and more. Some players complain about lack of land space but that’s part of the fun challenge, trying to squeeze everything into your city. Some players complain about being plundered. Well, erect a city shield, boost up your city defense army, level up military great buildings, collect your buildings as soon as they spawn, build a Galata Tower, it’ll stop thieves in their tracks. I’m amazed that players in the higher up ages still don’t set up an 8 unit defensive army to help protect their city. If players actually took the time to learn everything there is to know about the game, there would be zero whining about such things. I’ve been playing for over three years now and have yet to be bored. I can’t say that about any other game I’ve ever played. The dev’s have fine tuned every single aspect of this game to near perfection. The support team is extremely helpful if you have any issues, they will bend over backwards to try and help you. Unlike a lot of app games, FoE is very reliable. Game crashes are rare. Glitches are also rare and when they do occur, they are fixed quickly. The only problem with this game is that I enjoy it so much resulting in me never getting around to do odd jobs around the house haha! Bravo Inno, you created an amazing game.

System requires 1.2 m in supplies to "UNLOCK". I have 1.2m plus and yet the system WILL NOT UNLOCK.

I used to have forge of empires awhile ago, and it really was fun back then due to pvp including everyone. Nowadays you have to research for a whole week just to unlock that feature. Why is pvp important? It’s helpful In getting resources faster and to expand the map giving you more stuff to do to expand your empire. Since I’m still in the Iron Age starting over again, I cannot attack players since most of them have not unlocked pvp yet. It is frustrating because upon visiting their city, I saw clear signs that the player opened the game and then left permanently. Attacking lower levels is unfair to active players, but most of them aren’t ever going to be active anyways. It is robbing the challenge and activity of the players that are actually playing and active. This decision is not only a huge mistake, but it also makes new players wanting to leave immediately due to being able not to do anything. I know you updated the game to make sure more people are satisfied of staying in the game, but you are actually doing the exact opposite. Unless this is fixed soon, a lot of new players will quit altogether, including me.

I’ve been playing this game for a few years now. It was fun for a while, but I’m at a point where it’s the same thing over and over. Even the holiday extra games used to be fun, but now they don’t even leave them up for very long. I’m probably going to delete game from my iPad because it’s so boring I forget to play it. I don’t understand why I have any supplies or money because you can’t do anything with it after awhile.

Whether you are aggressive or peaceful player, game can be played to suit your style. No single right way to play. Whether you can play a lot or not so much, you will enjoy.

This game provides lots of entertainment and different challenges! FOE has been a very positive distraction during the pandemic. The only thing you need to prepare for is that it can be borderline “addictive.” You can find yourself spending hours a day as you get further into it.

Tutorial is garbage, and a waste of time. Game puts you wherever it wants when you accept an invite link, instead of in the same world of the player that sent it. I’ll stick with clash of clans until they figure out how to program games

It keeps crashing every time i log in. I have reinstalled and restarted my fully updated 6 gen ipad. I have done this multiple times today. It is fine on iphone xr

Hello I am a player who has played multiple cities in foe and in my opinion it is a amazing game but I wish there was a mode where you could walk around your city but only be able to walk inside the town hall cause I think it would be amazing to walk around a city - just my honest opinion

FOE is a great builder style game. It has enough group activities and events to keep you interested for years. There are only two problems with the game that prevent it from being a 5 star app. 1st is the 24hr world timer on your daily resource collection. The timer makes you wait 24hrs from the time you collect to respawn those resources. For example if you are playing on your phone and want to collect your daily resources during your lunch break but someone tries to chat you up for 5 minutes you have then lost those 5 minutes because you must wait at least 24hrs to collect again. And well if this happens again and again you can see how eventually you will lose entire days worth of resource collection. Other games I have played used 20 or 23hr world timers to give players more freedom but as FOE is roughly 4yrs old at the time of writing this they clearly intend to stick with this format. 2nd as you can trade resources across the “Ages” it means you can obtain the best buildings (great buildings) at any point in the game provided you are able to farm enough expansion tiles to place them. This leaves players little incentive to move up to next age. Indeed it actually makes many features of the game harder. Which is really a shame because the art and the work in general that they put into these ages is kinda amazing.

Ive been totally ripped off for the second time purchasing diamonds. The first time was to finish the carnival event and not this time was the football event. Both times I’ve purchased diamonds to complete the event but mysteriously the diamonds weren’t credited and once again I’ve messaged back and forth four days now just to still not have the purchase items nor credit to my account. And since the event ends tomorrow they will once again have successfully stretched out the simple fix long enough to negate the entire purpose of my purchase. The first time I chalked it up to a fluke, now I see it’s clearly a strategy🤯🤬😤

I played this game a bit and got bored quite often. The progression doesn’t feel rewarding. It’s definitely a pay to play game. I also tried to play when the T-Mobile network was down in my area and it wouldn’t let me play! After data was back up and I was able to sign in, all my progress was deleted. Not worth my time.

A erroneous purchase of diamonds occurred. Nothing was added to my balance. A report was sent to Apple.

Since I have been stuck indoors for a YEAR I need fascinating activities to help me escape mentally. This game absolutely does it for me. I have 5 cities now: one in asteroids, one on Mars, one in Colonial America, and 2 in the Middle Ages. I can play this one all day! 5 stars

Need more opportunities to get diamonds besides buying them!!!

Forge will not let me log into my account after months of playing...

This game is broken they rlly need to fix it

This game is epic. So addictive! It isn’t p2w, yes you can advance a lot quicker with diamonds, but I am fairly advanced and haven’t paid a dime. I still think a toggleable chat filter could be cool cause the chat and messages can get a little crazy, but really a great game!

This game is amazing! I think I’ve been playing for about four years, in my spare time I just log on and go. You do not need to spend money unless you want to. Diamonds come free. Medals come free. Ill be honest I spend some money in game because it’s become my hobby. But I didn’t start until like contemporary era. All you need is the right buildings and the right guild helps too. Or team. Yes the first couple ages are easier to get through, then it gets a little harder. Early in the game you do need to set your defense, by building army buildings and going into your army select a warrior and set them as your city defense. They should highlight in blue. This will help guard you some from plunderers. So heads up, people will battle you without you knowing and they can take your goods. Way to avoid this, make sure to collect when your goods are done. Then they won’t have anything to take. As far as the map, you progress on it as you do in the city. Don’t try to complete it all in one go. Otherwise yes you will be spending diamonds. You need stronger armies the further you go. You will get all the resources in the end so be patient. If you don’t want to invest the time to play the long game this really isn’t for you. But if you enjoy building and creating a city from the ground up with great graphics, and so much to do( events, quests, story line, daily challenges, bidding wars in the market, building smaller cities in your city, guilds, expeditions, etc)then this could be for you. Only build goods buildings that are boosted by what goods you have. I could go on and on on tips to help get started. This is a game about strategy. Rome wasn’t built in a day. If you happen to join world Fel Dranghyr look me up, be happy to help! Empress Kaleyne

Forge of Empires has been an awesome way to spend time I would probably spend whining during the pandemic. It also keeps my mind sharp! Thank you, Inno!

Ok my mind is blown I literally just got this game today and love it.It reminds me of clash of clans but in this you can upgrade and build stuff way faster.Nothing you need to change all I can say is this game is awesome!

Money money money, once the free game gets you hooked it’s all about getting you to spend that next dollar.

Forge of Empires is a great game, but the developers have to stay on top of getting new ages/eras added to the game. Without these types of additions, there is no incentive for advanced level players to continue. New ages/eras should be coming out every 6-9 months from the developers. Failure to add these regularly will mean a slow death for FoE.

Needs a way to store buildings off the grid so that you can rearrange the city. No room to move anything around when you expand because everything overlaps.

De lo mejor muy entretenido

I’ve been playing for a while now and the more time i give the game to get better the worse it gets, slow pace game

Cons: Inno rarely fixes any glitches, app crashes all the time. Making mobile playing almost impossible Pros: support usually does an okay job. Game can be played competitively for free despite in game purchase opportunities

I’m a huge fan of RTS and city builder games. This game is dumb and boring. Unless you buy their diamonds you will not progress well. The storyline is boring. The functions like “reconstruction” are garbage. The battles are utterly boring and uneventful. Don’t waste your time.

Je trouve injuste de donner des missions impossibles à des nouveaux joueurs pour l’événement spécial.de plus avec 5 bonus assaillants je n’ai pas pu battre la petite armée.

I love so much Because it’s a timeline of the history in the world and there’s a future

Greatest statistic game I’ve played

Too long of a review to write. The jist is in the subject line.

O yes!!!! Best game ever need for making fun of game best game ever for all time very addictive your time should have it all be addictive and pics game really me John me and you more fun!!! iPhone or iPad or pc to come to the game I will tell HQ more about it

It keeps saying login failed. Fetching player from portal failed. I tried using email, Game Center, Apple ID, and Facebook. What a joke.

It’s kind of disappointing that you have to buy diamonds but overall pretty fun

I liked for a little while but ........ A lot of stuff cost diamonds and when I wanted to get more troops I have to get more building supplies and they don’t give you much diamonds and Diamond cost money to get more too and they only give you like 300 so sometimes you’re stuck in a jam when you can’t get stuff so I hope they change his game and you should think it over before you download it

Doesn’t matter if i have a shield to protect my goods. People still steal goods. Goods I’ve been waiting for 24 hours. After many years of playing I’m done. It’s so Stupid someone can take goods you pay and wait to make.

I have been playing for a few months and my dad got me into this game. The beginning is a bit slow, but as you advance you start to spend hours and hours on it. There is NO need to spend any money and is a great strategy game. The events add something special and I can’t stop. Thank you so much for this great experience. I also love the fact that most guilds are so supportive and there are many friendly people who you can meat everywhere

This is a war strategy game, not a city building game. I’ve been playing for over 500 days, have reached the postmodern level and haven’t spent a penny. Although I have enjoyed the game until now, I can say that I think I’m near the end. The problem is the Great Buildings. So many other players, the majority it seems, acquire something called The Arc along with other battle level increasing structures. Then they spend their time plundering you. They have no population. No manufacturing. Just theft and robbery. How do you defeat someone who has a 900% boost in battle. You’re left the bug on their windshield with no recourse. Even a city shield is futile . You can’t acquire more land as all land is controlled by battle or real cash. You can’t barter anymore because all your manufacturing is plundered. The special games the developers run like football are really fun. But the rest of it has stopped being fun because of the blatant theft. This is a great game if you are, or want to teach your kid, to be a bully.

The game is good the graphics are amazing I never played a game like this one👍

A lot of fun at first but then expanding your city to add buildings to produce supplies that allow you to advance in the game is nearly impossible!! Way too much money needs to be invested and even THEN YOU CAN’T EXPAND YOUR CITY!! Very frustrating!!

Promotes bullying as it allows thieves to steal and attack your city daily for months on end without the ability to block players who spend all of their time targeting other players- developer responded pvp is allowed at all levels of game- being attacked by the same player daily for 3 months and having your city robbed by same isnt pvp - its targeting - 3 Months of targeting by same players is in fact bullying. There are specific areas for pvp in game from map menu but it shouldn't be constant in your own city.- not enough tokens to maintain city shield as the earn rate is low. I used to play daily, not so much anymore because of hostile players. I could understand pvp by people from the same era or lower, but allowing players from higher levels and eras to attack daily for months, reinforces top players to constantly steal from lower level players. That then trains people to harvest from lower levs to progress but makes you hate people you dont even know because they attack you daily. It also prevents lower levels from successfully growing because they are constantly harvested. You cant buy city shields from tavern unless you earn enough credits which is accomplished by getting people to visit your tavern. The rates are high so its not a daily task. I havent explored using diamonds but there have been plenty of reviews on being forced to use diamonds so i wont comment on that since i have spent real cash on diamonds. Bottom line, you will start to dislike people alot because of this game.....i continue to play because I have 2 years invested in this game but it is a frustrating experience.

I am so mad right now and tell me how it reset and how to fix and my rating was 5 stars.

All the other civilization building games I play are TERRIBLE, but this one, no, this one made it easier to get the buildings and even does special events! I can’t deny that this one is THE best civilization building game that I have come across.

You can play at your own time and pace. And develop friendships...always challenges

This is kind of an odd game. Despite what some of the one and two star reviews say you do not have to buy diamonds to play. As a matter of fact the game is more fun if you don’t. But (and this is a big but) you have to be an incredibly patient player. This is not the kind of game you can beat in 36 hours and then move to the next game on your list, as a matter of fact this game technically has no end. I have been playing it for over a year and I am still in the Late Middle Ages. This is the ultimate strategy game. It is also a community game which is usually not my thing. I am not usually a big fan of group games but I like this because I build my own world but belong to a “guild” and yes some of them do have rules that change over time and many will kick you out if you don’t abide by them. So find a guild that suits your playing style and play along because this actually is a fun game once you figure out you don’t need to buy diamonds to have a good time

The company put burden of proof on user rather than them checking what they received. Also, you may pay and not receive what you paid for, then again n the burden of proof on the user, not them checking what they’ve collected. It’s a convenient way to cheat users

You can play this game for hours, it is insanely good! I am on 4 years now people. Do I spend money to play? I choose to occasionally. Really this game is worth every penny I chose to spend. Mostly I play for free!! Every thing is easy to learn and I play hours and hours each days. Thanks to the talented designers of FOE.

I got this game around may and I am now in the late Middle Ages but my old phone took water damage and now I need help getting my passsword from my old registered acount because I love this game and don’t want to loose all of my progress

Hello I have to say so far it a pretty cool game. I do hope for 2021 players who still play with his push for more content and depth backstory mode.

I deleted game cause one day I went to play which I was in the end of Iron Age but it started me all over so I sadly deleted the game

A good guild and new friends are the reason to play this game. It is possible for a patient player to never spend a dime and do very well, having fun! Without a good guild, without making new friends and encouragement/help for each other the game grows disappointing fast. Trade is mainly how I play and I have played about 2 years so far. Combat can be fun as well because it is not automatically player vs. player, which I don’t like. When we battle as a guild against other guilds that is often fun. However be warned, this game is populated by real people, and with real people you get nice and jerks. I like the way they are always seeking to give us new challenges and they do work to correct errors. I don’t like errors and glitches which do plague this game, however they are no worse than most other games I have played.

The issue described below has been resolved! Thanks so much! Another suggestion.... On mobile, you recently introduced ability to collect all bldgs for 5 diamonds. Love it! I would like to see same offered for aiding all friends, guild members, neighborhood. Diamonds paid for each option obviously. If you aid everyone everyday, that’s roughly 200+ daily clicks or taps (assuming max number of friends and guild mates). If you run multiple worlds, that adds up fast. I halve literally quit guilds that require aiding because my hands hurt from all the clicking. I should probably just give up the game, but I love it SO much! Anything you could do to cut down on non strategic clicking would be most appreciated! Even if I have to pay diamonds for it. ————— Issue described below have been fixed! Thanks! Another suggestion...tavern visits from Townhall...would be nice if that worked like aiding. Click on a tavern to visit, no pop ups to close, and the icon greys out so you know who’ve you visited that tavern and can’t visit again until eligible. If you really care what that tavern looks like, access from your friends list. ———————————— Inside the Townhall, it keeps a list of which players have aided you over the past several days. You can then click a gold star to provide aid to that player in return. Once you have aided a player, Ideally, it should disable the gold star for all future occurrences of that player. But it doesn’t. When you click on the player a second time, it pops up a notification stating that you can’t aid that player right now. You then have to click OK to dismiss the notification. When you do this 50 or 60 times it gets annoying! Another scenario that arises, you try to aid a player but there’s no Buildings open to be aided. I don’t need to know that I couldn’t aid that player, That player needs to know that I tried. And the game does notify that player that i tried but there was nothing available to be aided. So why bother notifying me and making me dismissed yet another useless notification?

This game is just a waste of time they everything is a buy or just wait for loooooooonger times just getting rid f this from my system

Good but the game forget my old account for some reason when I wanted to visit it after a long time.

You will be bored immediately.

They say free to play but not really. Slow, expensive, and down right bad game.

It’s a good, chill builder game for long-game enthusiasts. Moves quickly enough that I rarely if ever feel pressured to purchase diamonds (which are used to speed the clock). One major flaw : Limiting the size/proportion choice for items makes the game unnecessarily frustrating... and may eventually be the single reason to abandon play. (For two reasons) Reason 1) Not giving players a choice of proportion (ie a 3x5 building isn’t ALSO offered as a 5x3 building) limits creativity, which chips away at ownership of the city being built... which will lead to player abandoning the game early. Reason 2) The game is dynamic/complex enough that giving the choice (3x5 and 5x3) will only minimally impact the difficulty level of the main game. Further, this minimal impact can also easily be offset by changing some other aspect of the game to keep difficulty where it was in the first place. Give us the choice. Let us build our cities with a bit more flexibility to make it truly our own... then you’d get 5 stars.

This game has nothing to offer. If you don’t wanna spend a crap load of money you won’t get anywhere, even in the early ages.I get emails sent to other players names and shows their email addresses. This game will never be recommended. Worst ever.

This game is really fun if you have it keep playing it

It's maddening that you have to be buying diamonds and soldiers in order to advance. I'm very close to leaving and not coming back Louis

I am always wishing to redo my city but there is never room to move something somewhere else. So I believe there should be something to where if you press on it saves your old city and you are able to make a new city with the same things you had before. If that was on this game then I would love it so much more. Than you for reading.

I don’t care for games that make you sit and wait for resources to build. I There need to be productive things to do while waiting for resources to build.

I love it because there is no guns in it and I love war

I had a few bugs playing this but so far I’m having loads of fun overall great game

I play this every day it is so FUN!!!!

I tried to play with my friends but i can’t finde his name when I search it up pleas fix this so I can friend my friend u could fix this by making it so that I could invite players from other servers into mine From insult my name

Super addictive, be careful!!

Simple math boggles the developers minds. I have 21k+ happiness and 15k population. Which one is greater? Obviously it’s the population cause that’s what the game says and it penalizes me for it... idiots

Here’s a cool Christmas Quest, it’s 9 stages and will probably take you 20 days. Cool, you completed it. It will cost you $50 to get the reward. Here’s a side quest to build a secondary village. You need to develop 8 technologies, and every one will cost you $5 worth of diamonds...

Game is fun but when it comes to having to negotiate a win instead of fighting.. it’s complete randomness. At least make it a puzzle to figure out , seems like there’s no rhyme or reason for it at all except to take your resources

Very interesting game. I enjoy this very much. But, how do you pause the game?

Three years on FoE, and I still learn new cool things. I hate interacting with every other game. But I Have found a community here. Other games drift in and out of my world. But I am a helpless Forger for life. :)

Enjoyable.

I love this game, it’s so addicting and my new favorite game. It can get a bit pricey if you purchase diamonds which helps speed up some parts of the game. It does start off a bit confusing but after I got the hang of everything I love it. They do have some tutorials which help but wish it was clearer at the beginning but all in all a great game!

This is a neat little game - a combination it seems of Civilization and Age of Wonders. Excellent game overall!

It takes a while to do things tho

I enjoy this very much.you do have to be careful & plan your expenses because they can climb but I seldom have to go overboard. In my guild, the Fair Traders,they are very helpful.

Excellent game all around. Simple to get started, multiple strategy options, good graphics/lay-out, well designed. After playing for a couple of hours, I spent 9.99 Modest In-App purchase well worth it. Will most likely make a couple more. I paid $40-$60 for the Civ games when they came on cd’s Don’t mind shelling out $9.99 once a month or so for a game of equal quality. I look at it as an installment plan😀

I really enjoying playing this game

If you play free it’s all good. But when you try to buy diamonds they charge your bank account and you never receive the purchased diamonds.

I played this game hoping I could just build settlements, exchange goods, do quests etc. It started of well till production of certain goods generated hardly any product and you had to wait to build your inventory. What’s messed up is when you wait to get your goods and some other player just comes in and plunders it. I am going to give this game another week or so to see if that continues to happen, if it does I’m out of here.

It’s the best game that I’ve found. You get out of it, what you want out of it.

Why does it reset my game ???

Ill change my review to 5 if they bring back the swipe collect. Its bad that they got rid of that. Would also be cool if they let you collect over 100fp

I been playing the game for about 2 months now, and used to really enjoy the game. Recently though, the joy is just being sucked out of it for me because of increased frequency of plundering, an aspect of the game I thoroughly dislike and from which I derive no pleasure, and especially by players that are so advanced that there is no earthly way I can compete. I play games to relax and enjoy, and as soon as that ceases, it’s time for me to move on. I am fast approaching that point. I wish the developers would reconsider this aspect of the game, because it caters to a tiny minority, but it ruins the fun and enjoyment for far more people than it satisfies.

I enjoy playing this game

Definitely recommend trying this one! It’s awesome. You have to use strategy to advance and helps to have teamwork.

I’ve lost a lot of diamonds because there is no “are you sure about this purchase” kind of thing. Just with the pandemic when I do have a few extra dollars it really is disappointing to loose them so easily and often. Other then that absolutely awesome game guys!

ALL THE STUFF YOU CAN DO! THIS FEELS LIKE REAL LIFE BUT A SIMULATOR!

Cancelled my game. Too expensive and their support for botched purchases is pathetic.

This was a good idea gone bad. I very quickly got to a point that I couldn’t build new buildings without diamonds and the only way to get diamonds was to buy them. No thanks.

Get ready to pay for everything in this game, unless you don't mind waiting days for simple resources.

When I went to play again I was at the game medieval age but then I saw MY HOLE TOWN WAS GONE AND I LOST MY PROGRESS please fix that but is a good game but please fix it.

Game is not enjoyable in that the play is not apparent or intuitive at all!! The fact that you spend hard earned rewards only to later have them stolen away by thieves is a great example for children and teens that hard work has no point and why earn when you can steal. It’s about Craftiness rather than ingenuity. Not a good game.

The tech tree makes no sense, and I was at the EMA and then I was reset!!

It’s nice to play so far and I’m liking it however, I’m unable to add friends (that I actually know) why is it no matter how many times I double check we are in the same world. I can’t find my friends. Is it a bug or glitch or something. When will it be fixed?

Hi team, having a great time getting into the game. Unfortunately I started having issues logging in and the app is telling me I lost connection and I am not connected to game center. Please fix this problem and let me know how I can make up for lost time advancing my city. Had multiple progress activities going on at the same time.

ReLly

I love city building games and FoE is about as good as you can get. For a mobile game, this one is near perfect in every way. This game seems simple at the start but the more you get into it, the more deep it gets. Huge amount of buildings to choose from. Build your city how it works best for you. Moving up in age is meant to take time. Don’t rush it. Stay in each age for several months. Build up your army strength, level up your Great Buildings. Join a helpful guild that can give you tips. Interact with players from out there in the real world. The game never gets boring, always something to do. The dev’s create special events which are fun and challenging to get special reward buildings. The game actually has a huge learning curve. Google and YouTube tutorials are Your best friend til you figure out everything. No annoying pop up adds disrupt your play. You can play every single aspect of the game without purchasing diamonds (the games premium currency) but obviously buying and using diamonds can speed things up. The game also gives you chances to win diamonds through the Guild Expedition and more. Some players complain about lack of land space but that’s part of the fun challenge, trying to squeeze everything into your city. Some players complain about being plundered. Well, erect a city shield, boost up your city defense army, level up military great buildings, collect your buildings as soon as they spawn, build a Galata Tower, it’ll stop thieves in their tracks. I’m amazed that players in the higher up ages still don’t set up an 8 unit defensive army to help protect their city. If players actually took the time to learn everything there is to know about the game, there would be zero whining about such things. I’ve been playing for over three years now and have yet to be bored. I can’t say that about any other game I’ve ever played. The dev’s have fine tuned every single aspect of this game to near perfection. The support team is extremely helpful if you have any issues, they will bend over backwards to try and help you. Unlike a lot of app games, FoE is very reliable. Game crashes are rare. Glitches are also rare and when they do occur, they are fixed quickly. The only problem with this game is that I enjoy it so much resulting in me never getting around to do odd jobs around the house haha! Bravo Inno, you created an amazing game.

System requires 1.2 m in supplies to "UNLOCK". I have 1.2m plus and yet the system WILL NOT UNLOCK.

I used to have forge of empires awhile ago, and it really was fun back then due to pvp including everyone. Nowadays you have to research for a whole week just to unlock that feature. Why is pvp important? It’s helpful In getting resources faster and to expand the map giving you more stuff to do to expand your empire. Since I’m still in the Iron Age starting over again, I cannot attack players since most of them have not unlocked pvp yet. It is frustrating because upon visiting their city, I saw clear signs that the player opened the game and then left permanently. Attacking lower levels is unfair to active players, but most of them aren’t ever going to be active anyways. It is robbing the challenge and activity of the players that are actually playing and active. This decision is not only a huge mistake, but it also makes new players wanting to leave immediately due to being able not to do anything. I know you updated the game to make sure more people are satisfied of staying in the game, but you are actually doing the exact opposite. Unless this is fixed soon, a lot of new players will quit altogether, including me.

I’ve been playing this game for a few years now. It was fun for a while, but I’m at a point where it’s the same thing over and over. Even the holiday extra games used to be fun, but now they don’t even leave them up for very long. I’m probably going to delete game from my iPad because it’s so boring I forget to play it. I don’t understand why I have any supplies or money because you can’t do anything with it after awhile.

Whether you are aggressive or peaceful player, game can be played to suit your style. No single right way to play. Whether you can play a lot or not so much, you will enjoy.

This game provides lots of entertainment and different challenges! FOE has been a very positive distraction during the pandemic. The only thing you need to prepare for is that it can be borderline “addictive.” You can find yourself spending hours a day as you get further into it.

Tutorial is garbage, and a waste of time. Game puts you wherever it wants when you accept an invite link, instead of in the same world of the player that sent it. I’ll stick with clash of clans until they figure out how to program games

It keeps crashing every time i log in. I have reinstalled and restarted my fully updated 6 gen ipad. I have done this multiple times today. It is fine on iphone xr

Hello I am a player who has played multiple cities in foe and in my opinion it is a amazing game but I wish there was a mode where you could walk around your city but only be able to walk inside the town hall cause I think it would be amazing to walk around a city - just my honest opinion

FOE is a great builder style game. It has enough group activities and events to keep you interested for years. There are only two problems with the game that prevent it from being a 5 star app. 1st is the 24hr world timer on your daily resource collection. The timer makes you wait 24hrs from the time you collect to respawn those resources. For example if you are playing on your phone and want to collect your daily resources during your lunch break but someone tries to chat you up for 5 minutes you have then lost those 5 minutes because you must wait at least 24hrs to collect again. And well if this happens again and again you can see how eventually you will lose entire days worth of resource collection. Other games I have played used 20 or 23hr world timers to give players more freedom but as FOE is roughly 4yrs old at the time of writing this they clearly intend to stick with this format. 2nd as you can trade resources across the “Ages” it means you can obtain the best buildings (great buildings) at any point in the game provided you are able to farm enough expansion tiles to place them. This leaves players little incentive to move up to next age. Indeed it actually makes many features of the game harder. Which is really a shame because the art and the work in general that they put into these ages is kinda amazing.

Ive been totally ripped off for the second time purchasing diamonds. The first time was to finish the carnival event and not this time was the football event. Both times I’ve purchased diamonds to complete the event but mysteriously the diamonds weren’t credited and once again I’ve messaged back and forth four days now just to still not have the purchase items nor credit to my account. And since the event ends tomorrow they will once again have successfully stretched out the simple fix long enough to negate the entire purpose of my purchase. The first time I chalked it up to a fluke, now I see it’s clearly a strategy🤯🤬😤

I played this game a bit and got bored quite often. The progression doesn’t feel rewarding. It’s definitely a pay to play game. I also tried to play when the T-Mobile network was down in my area and it wouldn’t let me play! After data was back up and I was able to sign in, all my progress was deleted. Not worth my time.

A erroneous purchase of diamonds occurred. Nothing was added to my balance. A report was sent to Apple.

Since I have been stuck indoors for a YEAR I need fascinating activities to help me escape mentally. This game absolutely does it for me. I have 5 cities now: one in asteroids, one on Mars, one in Colonial America, and 2 in the Middle Ages. I can play this one all day! 5 stars

Need more opportunities to get diamonds besides buying them!!!

Forge will not let me log into my account after months of playing...

This game is broken they rlly need to fix it

This game is epic. So addictive! It isn’t p2w, yes you can advance a lot quicker with diamonds, but I am fairly advanced and haven’t paid a dime. I still think a toggleable chat filter could be cool cause the chat and messages can get a little crazy, but really a great game!

This game is amazing! I think I’ve been playing for about four years, in my spare time I just log on and go. You do not need to spend money unless you want to. Diamonds come free. Medals come free. Ill be honest I spend some money in game because it’s become my hobby. But I didn’t start until like contemporary era. All you need is the right buildings and the right guild helps too. Or team. Yes the first couple ages are easier to get through, then it gets a little harder. Early in the game you do need to set your defense, by building army buildings and going into your army select a warrior and set them as your city defense. They should highlight in blue. This will help guard you some from plunderers. So heads up, people will battle you without you knowing and they can take your goods. Way to avoid this, make sure to collect when your goods are done. Then they won’t have anything to take. As far as the map, you progress on it as you do in the city. Don’t try to complete it all in one go. Otherwise yes you will be spending diamonds. You need stronger armies the further you go. You will get all the resources in the end so be patient. If you don’t want to invest the time to play the long game this really isn’t for you. But if you enjoy building and creating a city from the ground up with great graphics, and so much to do( events, quests, story line, daily challenges, bidding wars in the market, building smaller cities in your city, guilds, expeditions, etc)then this could be for you. Only build goods buildings that are boosted by what goods you have. I could go on and on on tips to help get started. This is a game about strategy. Rome wasn’t built in a day. If you happen to join world Fel Dranghyr look me up, be happy to help! Empress Kaleyne

Forge of Empires has been an awesome way to spend time I would probably spend whining during the pandemic. It also keeps my mind sharp! Thank you, Inno!

Ok my mind is blown I literally just got this game today and love it.It reminds me of clash of clans but in this you can upgrade and build stuff way faster.Nothing you need to change all I can say is this game is awesome!

Money money money, once the free game gets you hooked it’s all about getting you to spend that next dollar.

Forge of Empires is a great game, but the developers have to stay on top of getting new ages/eras added to the game. Without these types of additions, there is no incentive for advanced level players to continue. New ages/eras should be coming out every 6-9 months from the developers. Failure to add these regularly will mean a slow death for FoE.

Needs a way to store buildings off the grid so that you can rearrange the city. No room to move anything around when you expand because everything overlaps.

De lo mejor muy entretenido

I’ve been playing for a while now and the more time i give the game to get better the worse it gets, slow pace game

Cons: Inno rarely fixes any glitches, app crashes all the time. Making mobile playing almost impossible Pros: support usually does an okay job. Game can be played competitively for free despite in game purchase opportunities

I’m a huge fan of RTS and city builder games. This game is dumb and boring. Unless you buy their diamonds you will not progress well. The storyline is boring. The functions like “reconstruction” are garbage. The battles are utterly boring and uneventful. Don’t waste your time.

Je trouve injuste de donner des missions impossibles à des nouveaux joueurs pour l’événement spécial.de plus avec 5 bonus assaillants je n’ai pas pu battre la petite armée.

I love so much Because it’s a timeline of the history in the world and there’s a future

Greatest statistic game I’ve played

Too long of a review to write. The jist is in the subject line.

O yes!!!! Best game ever need for making fun of game best game ever for all time very addictive your time should have it all be addictive and pics game really me John me and you more fun!!! iPhone or iPad or pc to come to the game I will tell HQ more about it

It keeps saying login failed. Fetching player from portal failed. I tried using email, Game Center, Apple ID, and Facebook. What a joke.

It’s kind of disappointing that you have to buy diamonds but overall pretty fun

I liked for a little while but ........ A lot of stuff cost diamonds and when I wanted to get more troops I have to get more building supplies and they don’t give you much diamonds and Diamond cost money to get more too and they only give you like 300 so sometimes you’re stuck in a jam when you can’t get stuff so I hope they change his game and you should think it over before you download it

Doesn’t matter if i have a shield to protect my goods. People still steal goods. Goods I’ve been waiting for 24 hours. After many years of playing I’m done. It’s so Stupid someone can take goods you pay and wait to make.

I have been playing for a few months and my dad got me into this game. The beginning is a bit slow, but as you advance you start to spend hours and hours on it. There is NO need to spend any money and is a great strategy game. The events add something special and I can’t stop. Thank you so much for this great experience. I also love the fact that most guilds are so supportive and there are many friendly people who you can meat everywhere

This is a war strategy game, not a city building game. I’ve been playing for over 500 days, have reached the postmodern level and haven’t spent a penny. Although I have enjoyed the game until now, I can say that I think I’m near the end. The problem is the Great Buildings. So many other players, the majority it seems, acquire something called The Arc along with other battle level increasing structures. Then they spend their time plundering you. They have no population. No manufacturing. Just theft and robbery. How do you defeat someone who has a 900% boost in battle. You’re left the bug on their windshield with no recourse. Even a city shield is futile . You can’t acquire more land as all land is controlled by battle or real cash. You can’t barter anymore because all your manufacturing is plundered. The special games the developers run like football are really fun. But the rest of it has stopped being fun because of the blatant theft. This is a great game if you are, or want to teach your kid, to be a bully.

The game is good the graphics are amazing I never played a game like this one👍

A lot of fun at first but then expanding your city to add buildings to produce supplies that allow you to advance in the game is nearly impossible!! Way too much money needs to be invested and even THEN YOU CAN’T EXPAND YOUR CITY!! Very frustrating!!

Promotes bullying as it allows thieves to steal and attack your city daily for months on end without the ability to block players who spend all of their time targeting other players- developer responded pvp is allowed at all levels of game- being attacked by the same player daily for 3 months and having your city robbed by same isnt pvp - its targeting - 3 Months of targeting by same players is in fact bullying. There are specific areas for pvp in game from map menu but it shouldn't be constant in your own city.- not enough tokens to maintain city shield as the earn rate is low. I used to play daily, not so much anymore because of hostile players. I could understand pvp by people from the same era or lower, but allowing players from higher levels and eras to attack daily for months, reinforces top players to constantly steal from lower level players. That then trains people to harvest from lower levs to progress but makes you hate people you dont even know because they attack you daily. It also prevents lower levels from successfully growing because they are constantly harvested. You cant buy city shields from tavern unless you earn enough credits which is accomplished by getting people to visit your tavern. The rates are high so its not a daily task. I havent explored using diamonds but there have been plenty of reviews on being forced to use diamonds so i wont comment on that since i have spent real cash on diamonds. Bottom line, you will start to dislike people alot because of this game.....i continue to play because I have 2 years invested in this game but it is a frustrating experience.

I am so mad right now and tell me how it reset and how to fix and my rating was 5 stars.

All the other civilization building games I play are TERRIBLE, but this one, no, this one made it easier to get the buildings and even does special events! I can’t deny that this one is THE best civilization building game that I have come across.

You can play at your own time and pace. And develop friendships...always challenges

This is kind of an odd game. Despite what some of the one and two star reviews say you do not have to buy diamonds to play. As a matter of fact the game is more fun if you don’t. But (and this is a big but) you have to be an incredibly patient player. This is not the kind of game you can beat in 36 hours and then move to the next game on your list, as a matter of fact this game technically has no end. I have been playing it for over a year and I am still in the Late Middle Ages. This is the ultimate strategy game. It is also a community game which is usually not my thing. I am not usually a big fan of group games but I like this because I build my own world but belong to a “guild” and yes some of them do have rules that change over time and many will kick you out if you don’t abide by them. So find a guild that suits your playing style and play along because this actually is a fun game once you figure out you don’t need to buy diamonds to have a good time

The company put burden of proof on user rather than them checking what they received. Also, you may pay and not receive what you paid for, then again n the burden of proof on the user, not them checking what they’ve collected. It’s a convenient way to cheat users

You can play this game for hours, it is insanely good! I am on 4 years now people. Do I spend money to play? I choose to occasionally. Really this game is worth every penny I chose to spend. Mostly I play for free!! Every thing is easy to learn and I play hours and hours each days. Thanks to the talented designers of FOE.

I got this game around may and I am now in the late Middle Ages but my old phone took water damage and now I need help getting my passsword from my old registered acount because I love this game and don’t want to loose all of my progress

Hello I have to say so far it a pretty cool game. I do hope for 2021 players who still play with his push for more content and depth backstory mode.

I deleted game cause one day I went to play which I was in the end of Iron Age but it started me all over so I sadly deleted the game

A good guild and new friends are the reason to play this game. It is possible for a patient player to never spend a dime and do very well, having fun! Without a good guild, without making new friends and encouragement/help for each other the game grows disappointing fast. Trade is mainly how I play and I have played about 2 years so far. Combat can be fun as well because it is not automatically player vs. player, which I don’t like. When we battle as a guild against other guilds that is often fun. However be warned, this game is populated by real people, and with real people you get nice and jerks. I like the way they are always seeking to give us new challenges and they do work to correct errors. I don’t like errors and glitches which do plague this game, however they are no worse than most other games I have played.

The issue described below has been resolved! Thanks so much! Another suggestion.... On mobile, you recently introduced ability to collect all bldgs for 5 diamonds. Love it! I would like to see same offered for aiding all friends, guild members, neighborhood. Diamonds paid for each option obviously. If you aid everyone everyday, that’s roughly 200+ daily clicks or taps (assuming max number of friends and guild mates). If you run multiple worlds, that adds up fast. I halve literally quit guilds that require aiding because my hands hurt from all the clicking. I should probably just give up the game, but I love it SO much! Anything you could do to cut down on non strategic clicking would be most appreciated! Even if I have to pay diamonds for it. ————— Issue described below have been fixed! Thanks! Another suggestion...tavern visits from Townhall...would be nice if that worked like aiding. Click on a tavern to visit, no pop ups to close, and the icon greys out so you know who’ve you visited that tavern and can’t visit again until eligible. If you really care what that tavern looks like, access from your friends list. ———————————— Inside the Townhall, it keeps a list of which players have aided you over the past several days. You can then click a gold star to provide aid to that player in return. Once you have aided a player, Ideally, it should disable the gold star for all future occurrences of that player. But it doesn’t. When you click on the player a second time, it pops up a notification stating that you can’t aid that player right now. You then have to click OK to dismiss the notification. When you do this 50 or 60 times it gets annoying! Another scenario that arises, you try to aid a player but there’s no Buildings open to be aided. I don’t need to know that I couldn’t aid that player, That player needs to know that I tried. And the game does notify that player that i tried but there was nothing available to be aided. So why bother notifying me and making me dismissed yet another useless notification?

This game is just a waste of time they everything is a buy or just wait for loooooooonger times just getting rid f this from my system

Good but the game forget my old account for some reason when I wanted to visit it after a long time.

You will be bored immediately.

They say free to play but not really. Slow, expensive, and down right bad game.

It’s a good, chill builder game for long-game enthusiasts. Moves quickly enough that I rarely if ever feel pressured to purchase diamonds (which are used to speed the clock). One major flaw : Limiting the size/proportion choice for items makes the game unnecessarily frustrating... and may eventually be the single reason to abandon play. (For two reasons) Reason 1) Not giving players a choice of proportion (ie a 3x5 building isn’t ALSO offered as a 5x3 building) limits creativity, which chips away at ownership of the city being built... which will lead to player abandoning the game early. Reason 2) The game is dynamic/complex enough that giving the choice (3x5 and 5x3) will only minimally impact the difficulty level of the main game. Further, this minimal impact can also easily be offset by changing some other aspect of the game to keep difficulty where it was in the first place. Give us the choice. Let us build our cities with a bit more flexibility to make it truly our own... then you’d get 5 stars.

This game has nothing to offer. If you don’t wanna spend a crap load of money you won’t get anywhere, even in the early ages.I get emails sent to other players names and shows their email addresses. This game will never be recommended. Worst ever.

This game is really fun if you have it keep playing it

It's maddening that you have to be buying diamonds and soldiers in order to advance. I'm very close to leaving and not coming back Louis

I am always wishing to redo my city but there is never room to move something somewhere else. So I believe there should be something to where if you press on it saves your old city and you are able to make a new city with the same things you had before. If that was on this game then I would love it so much more. Than you for reading.

I don’t care for games that make you sit and wait for resources to build. I There need to be productive things to do while waiting for resources to build.

I love it because there is no guns in it and I love war

I had a few bugs playing this but so far I’m having loads of fun overall great game

I play this every day it is so FUN!!!!

I tried to play with my friends but i can’t finde his name when I search it up pleas fix this so I can friend my friend u could fix this by making it so that I could invite players from other servers into mine From insult my name

Super addictive, be careful!!

Simple math boggles the developers minds. I have 21k+ happiness and 15k population. Which one is greater? Obviously it’s the population cause that’s what the game says and it penalizes me for it... idiots

Here’s a cool Christmas Quest, it’s 9 stages and will probably take you 20 days. Cool, you completed it. It will cost you $50 to get the reward. Here’s a side quest to build a secondary village. You need to develop 8 technologies, and every one will cost you $5 worth of diamonds...

Game is fun but when it comes to having to negotiate a win instead of fighting.. it’s complete randomness. At least make it a puzzle to figure out , seems like there’s no rhyme or reason for it at all except to take your resources
