Wonderful!

I’m so happy I gave this game a chance! Most of these reviews only explain from one side, but I’m here to provide a positive perspective for those who are considering downloading this app. There are definitely good people if you’re able to find them. I am very fortunate in that I found a good group right away. I’m extremely glad that there are descriptions giving a quick background on the members of the team. I recommend avoiding ones that specifically state their expected participation unless you are someone who enjoys that kind of procedure. Otherwise, it’ll only make the game less desirable for you. I love this game very much and hope you will too once you truly give it the opportunity to show you how fun it can be! I thank the developers for their continued dedication to the app and will absolutely keep playing and being a loyal part of the community!

Not fun

I thought this game might be fun to play. I never paid for any subscriptions or enhancements for this game. In the beginning, trying to learn the game, building a fort and an army, creating an alliance, and attacking other players was somewhat fun and interesting. I do prefer to be an army of one and playing as a lone wolf. I was hoping as I continued to play, it would get even better. It hadn’t changed. The game was still the same; gather resources, build troops, research technologies, all of which took too much time on the clock counter to create. After 2 months of playing on a regular basis, I deleted my account. One of the main reasons why I finally deleted my account was because, I think, my account/player/alliance got hacked. I put the game down after applying a 3 day peace shield, when I picked up the game the next day, somehow I was made president of the state and my peace shield was deactivated. I don’t know how it happened or who did it! That shady play or trick was the final straw! One feature I think the game should employ is, you shouldn’t be attacked unless you’re actually logged in and playing the game. In my opinion, save yourself time, enjoy real life, and stay away from a time consuming no fun game.

Boring

I started playing this game because my husband was playing and at the time encouraged me to start. We both got into the same alliance. It’s your typical war game; you always have the players that trash talk opponents and invite hits, it’s all part of the game, I recognize that. My husband and I ended up moving away from the alliance hive so we would have a better chance of farming and development without being hit if our shield dropped, which actually gets tiresome and intrusive on real life always having to remember every 3 days to put a shield up (quit a game that was actually really fun and I liked the people because of the whole shield thing intruding on real life). After getting hit several times because he forgot to shield, then the same thing with myself we both quit playing. We both broke our own rule; don’t spend real money on fake money, and bought packs which turned out to be a waste. I left behind a lot of gold when I quit. Once you get in and do all the stuff; upgrade something, start troops growing, maybe kill a few monsters there really isn’t anything else to do. If you like war play games there are certainly better ones out there.

Still loading for an hour?

This is a pay to play game. Meaning if you don’t pay don’t waste your time playing. In short if we have to pay to play then we should have access to the game and the account we paid for. When I try to log into my account and your software is stuck on loading for over an hour then I have a problem with paying you for an account I developed and have no access to. When I pay to use Microsoft word using my account it doesn’t stop working and deny me account access. When I pay for my account on Adobe it doesn’t stop working and deny me account access. I am not accessing this on anything other than my iPad through my Apple account. There shouldn’t be a need to secure an account that should already be secured with Apple. Please fix these issues. As for the refund it is quit simple. Make sure your software works and I can access my account through my iPad or give me the money I used to develop my account that is only a week old. This was very frustrating to have the game lock up and dump on me. It shouldn’t be this way.

Frustrating, pointless game

A fort building game not for free to play players. Better get in a large, high ranking alliance, or everything you do will be destroyed by other attacking alliances. No real point to the game, and as far as the "Civil War" part, you don't fight on actual battlefields, the states are numbers, there's no strategy or tactical intelligence involved, the names of people who existed then you can only purchase the talents to unlock them, or just hope the "gold chests" drop enough to get the pieces to unlock them. They could just have easily called it something else, cause it doesn't really have anything to do with the Civil War. You basically spend all your time researching how to gather goods faster, and that's really it. I played for two months, put up a 7 day "shield" so I could gather strength in peace, and while I slept within minutes of the shield going down a larger alliance just continuously attacked me. 100k troops gone. What is the point of that? There was no larger mission to accomplish, no greater goal to strive for. Just infinite build, get attacked, back to square one, and do it again. Expected a risk type of game and got this instead. No thanks.

Addicting and free

Granted most games charge for you to play and maximize your base to the fullest and yes there is that option but I have always been into strategy games such as red alert, world at war, etc and this game for being free is amazing, updates are constant. The only reason I give 4/5 is the option of buying packs. Yes it is a choice and we don’t have to but I just believe some games are free and sometimes lame when if you spend $100 you get 6months work done in one day in game but it is what it is I love the graphics and the game how far it’s come from when I first started to now. You can tell developers work constantly on updates and customer support. The holiday themes were awesome and nostalgic as I miss them now. I can’t wait for the holiday season again because of those game lol. I want them to have more Battle For the Union Events in State 37. Thank you eRepublik Team for your hard work and great customer support. -E, State 12 :)

Devs are ruining this game

Been playing for a year now. This game used to be great. It was possible to compete when I was new and small in power. However recent changes have made it impossible for the new players to be competitive. You will never be relevant in gameplay if you don’t spend a lot of money. I did spend, but will not drop another dime. The recent update doesn’t work. The game is so glitchy, it’s unplayable. The game has a monthly event called st37. This event was the highlight of the game. But like many other things that used to be great, the devs have ruined it. The rewards that were given were especially critical for smaller players, but those rewards are gone from the event and those smaller and newer players will have to open their wallet to obtain them. If you are or was a Game of War player. This game was a great alternative. However they are making the exact same mistakes that ruined that game. I’d avoid this one at all costs. Hopefully devs will listen to their many disgruntled players and return this game to the great version it used to be.

Just don’t.

I played this game for a solid year and here’s my take. First off, the game has literally NOTHING to do with the civil war. There are no civil war battles, no civil war strategy. Nothing except the mention of historical names on otherwise completely unrelated aspects of the game. If you’re downloading it because you’re a civil war buff like me, forget it. If you’re downloading it for a strategy game, find something else. There are many newer, more robust, and better supported games out there in the App Store with a larger community of players. War and Peace is nothing but a reskinned engine of some other game made by erupublic labs and the player base is dying. Since I began playing, we lost more than half of the player base on our server. You would think no big deal, just go to another sever (or state as the game calls it), but you can’t do that. Some of the people in this game are extremely toxic. Don’t even think about telling anyone personal information, because people will stalk you online and harass you. I’ve seen it happen to countless players. Finally, the game play. It can be fun coordinating with alliance mates, but past that it’s awful. Numerous glitches and issues lead to lots of lost time, effort, and money. The devs claim they will support you, then do nothing to fix the game. They just want you to buy packs to rebuild. Please, for your own sake avoid this game and do not contribute hard earned money to these sketchy Romanian developers.
