The game's monetization model is praised for being distinct from typical browser and mobile strategy games that often target high-spending players, instead offering a more balanced approach that avoids the common "cash grab" tactics. This sets it apart from other games in the genre that rely heavily on appealing to specific franchises or art styles.
“This game truly impressed me; it stands out from your typical browser/mobile 'strategy' cash grab aimed at whales who love a specific art style or brand like Game of Thrones, Vikings, Lord of the Rings, or Infinity Kingdom.”
“However, it differentiates itself in many ways, especially in how the monetization works.”
