YES, this is a very addictive & fun game to play! ...if you are a very active player.

To be that level of active you will have to join a faction in a dominate house, use TeamSpeak and/or Discord/Skype regularly, and play 24-hours a day; you will probably have to use alarm-clocks/timers around the clock. Still, the BEST part of this game. . .

THIS GAME ACTUALLY HAS REAL LIFE POLITICS and it's AWESOME ...but also a nightmare. So be diplomatic, OR you're gonna have a bad time... screw yourself; your teammates. Just remember respect matters, so play honorably & fair.

Heads up: At the end of any Age it will get very *VERY* political ...interesting; Factions that have become your mortal enemies for 200+ days can instantly become "house mates" and suddenly you have to contain any naturally developed feelings of rivalry you have for them.

I would suggest this game to anyone that likes massive team-play games that take time & dedication to maintain the constant incremental actions needed. Luckily this game can be extremely rewarding and fun if you are social enough to engage with your factions mates in TS/Discord chat spaces. If your even slightly dedicated you will go pretty far.

When they introduced the USA1 map I completely played through the whole first Age. The Age took over 300 days but by the end of the Age 1, I was playing in he highest scoring faction in the highest scoring house in USA1. We WON USA1, Age 1, and made into the “Stronghold Kingdoms Hall of Heroes,” after nearly 400 days I was ready to step away from the most joyous and stressful game I have ever played in my whole life!
