Ps : sorry for my poor english, not my native language at all as you can see. Of course you won’t be the best player, but you can play anyway. So yes, Empire & Puzzles can requiers some $$ if you wanna be really strong, but you still can play without paying anything. One more time, no offense, but you don’t know what a true P2W is. A loooooooot of researchs were taking more than a YEAR to get done.

On Invasion, the biggest researchs were taking 700 DAYS (& there were like 10 like that + the 80 or 90 you had to do first to get there), time you could, of course, reduce by paying (a few hundreds $ just for one research). I sometimes read some peoples that complain about the time needed to build some buildings. (I could continue the list of the things you were forced to PAY with real money if you wanted to play Invasion, but would be too long & this message would requiers hours to be writen). You can dislike the way that this game is going but trust me, we’re still FAR AWAY from a pay to win. The only way to protect yourself from these raids was to BUY shields, wich were only availables with real money & were during only a few hours or days (depending the amount u were paying). When you were going to sleep, you had no idea if your base would still be alive the next morning. Units were taking DAYS to be created (for the strongest ones) & at any moment you could be “zeroed”, wich made you starting the game from 0 again and again and again. And the raids in this game were killing your units (kinda like your heroes in this game), sometimes until the last one.

I mean, everyone could raid ANYONE (whatever the strenght) at any moment(and no “raids points” or things like that, you could raid for ever, as much as you wanted). I played 2 years to a game called “Invasion” (still available if some wallet’s kamikaze are arround), spent 3 000 $ in this game cause you were FORCED to pay if you wanted to play. I think that you have NO IDEA of what a P2W is. If you do not have any deep pockets, then just forget about it…
