It is free to play ... but if you don't buy packs, you will be very vulnerable and destroyed by many bigger players. And the game doesn't do much to help free to play players and they quit fast... that leads to dead states.It's a shame, because the game looks ok. [ edit ] I put 4 stars at the beginning, after a few months of playing, I put 2 stars, now edit to 1 star because of the audacity to reply with a generic automated message.[edit]to your reply, a strong alliance wants strong players p2p
