Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a great game but constantly is crashing during saving. Other than that his game is one great build.
Downloaded this game for our son and every time we load into a world it kicks us out of the game.
Hello there, Bast! We like this game better than our Colony because it has less bugs, has a classical-era feel, and it has interesting features. We would recommend this game to those who are considering playing MC1.
The game is good but the graphics could be better and it would be nice for raids to occur and to have defenses and defenders. We are saying this because over all the needs more action because when you finish building on the whole map you have nothing else to do but watch out for food and resources and we would like to have a external force making it harder to expand other then just having food and resource problems.
This is a really good game that Ive had for about a year. There is one small problem that came up where we couldnt make houses at the beginning due to being unable to get food, but we found out how to get the food.
Just downloaded tried to play but it wont let you play if your not registered. Well you guys never sent one and Ive requested at least 3 times so we will be uninstalling. A waste of our time. You guys make it so difficult to play your game.
This is just a thought about Maybe adding a China map & Han Dynasty civilization what do you think.
We enjoy this game as an easy, casual city builder. However, we wish we could get a refund on having bought the premium account, since it doesnt WORK. We cant play region games – it lets us create a city then it just goes to a black screen where we cannot do anything except exit. We checked their tech support on their official website – someone posted this same issue… And not one person has replied, and it was posted 3 months ago. Promising game, we would rate it 4 to 5 stars if the features we paid for worked.
It would be a good game but the save game feature doesnt work correctly. Nothing is more angering than spending a day building a city just to find out that the games save feature doesnt work.
Very nice game. Definitely no in app purchases and no tap or idle clicker nonsense that you see on other games. Resources generate reasonably fast enough to make lots of progress within a few hours and you can progress through the game rather easily as long as you know what you are doing and post on the forum when you need help. There is no having to wait hours for a resource to generate and come back later. In fact, this game will keep you constantly busy. All in all, this game is worth it, just like our colony.
We got to the centralized government 50k unlock and our city reverted back at least a days worth of progress, being an inconceivable bug due to auto save and us booting the game several times that day. A shame we were enjoying it until we lost like 8 hours progress.
Im having a problem where Im trying to load into a game it will say restoring data and not load and if we make a new game we have a basically black screen and cant really do much and we love games like this so if someone can help us with this problem much ablished (and dont tell us to reinstall it we did a few minutes ago before writing this review) thx.
The premium items and modes are dumb.
Ive heard good things and bad things about this game, but mostly good things. After trying to download it and play it, we realized we couldnt, Well, PLAY the game. It keeps loading, and loading, and it is definitely compatible with our phone. We were hoping the update it just had would fix the problem but it didnt. Same thing goes for our colony. Tried to play but it would just keep loading and loading for minutes on. We waited about fifteen minutes and nothing happened.
