grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unbalanced, with conquests yielding insufficient rewards and requiring excessive effort to manage resources and allies. The reliance on weak allies and the need for constant unit replenishment contribute to a frustrating experience, detracting from overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, many still appreciate the game but wish for improvements to reduce the grind and enhance gameplay dynamics.
- “If there was a 4.5 star rating, I would have given it that, because conquests are really tedious and don't produce rewards proportionately.”
- “Another thing not the best about it would be the tediousness of having to supply the army after every battle.”
- “Literally has the same problem with all EasyTech games: allies are braindead, there's not enough time to complete tedious tasks in the campaign, the units the game gives you are practically weak and unreliable compared to the units the enemy has, and the game overall is just a contest to see what you have to do to carry your allies and how long it will take to build enough money to purchase new units and heal them.”
