World of Empires

I stumbled across this game completely by accident, unfortunately it’s well hidden. I’ve been playing Civilization since it first came out. I’ve played countless hours on every version, including Civ Rev 1 & 2 on my iPhone. If I had to peg this one it would be a Civ 3 clone, which is a blessing due to the introduction of workers and territory. I like it better than Civ Rev for so many reasons. Mostly because you can play for unlimited turns and you have much more control of the map and rules. To me that is the fun part of playing civilization, tweaking the map and players to create a fun and challenging game - something you cannot really do in Civ Rev. This game still seems to be in development. There are definitely a few things that are slightly broken or inconvenient, but nothing that stops me from playing. For example: workers don’t auto build roads and don’t auto sleep, spying seems needlessly complex and appears to be the only way the computer acts aggressively, auto explore always heads directly to the NE corner first, resources don’t seem to be usable across your civilization, and map size selection seems to have no effect.

This is NOT a bought review. This game is seriously fun, and is the closest civ knockoff I have ever encountered on the App Store! Yeah, the controls can be a little difficult to get used to at first, but it is easy to learn quickly. The tech tree I do admit is quite glitchy and not very intuitive, but I know that can easily be fixed in an update. I do agree that having troops be upgraded based on the amount of kills would be a fantastic idea! Also, troop speed is VERY slow... something that I wish was fixed. If instead of a 2 square average, perhaps 3 might make things more playable? A good 70% of this game is moving troops, especially on the large map. I think the diplomacy screen could use some updating. Adding embassies, declarations of alliances, and other things might make the game even better. Lastly, I think the satellite tech should reveal the whole map, aka get rid of the fog of war... just a thought! Overall though, I cannot stress enough how great of a rip-off this game is from civ... I love it! Free, and super fun! 5-Stars!

1.) on normal the AI are borderline retarded, often betraying you even after they offer to make peace 2.) late game screwed my over as around the final turns of my game maria went into an infinite respond period where she didn’t move ( she needed to for me to continue) 3.) the explanation list (mid game tutorials to remind what things are) dont actually explain things too much 4.) movement is buggy when i want to attack someone it often cancels out when i tap on the enemy i want to fight (5.) THIS IS A BIG ONE- enemy cruise missiles dont get destroyed after its intended use. It explodes and still appears on the map for the AI to reuse over and over again, there is also nothing to kill it with 6.) sometimes countries never accept open borders even if you are giving them one of your cities after their last one is destroyed, idk if that is supposed to happen 7.) when you don’t have open borders with a country they can still move into your territory whereas you cant or else you declare war —— This is a pretty good game but it would be better if those problems were immediately addressed. Thank you.

I do not normally write reviews and when I do they are not generally positive but this game is worthy of all five stars. This game is very similar to Civilization but in my opinion took the direction of the civ games and went much further. You can decide on how large of a map to play on and decide what types of resources are seeded in the world. This game doesn’t cost anything to play and does not bombard you with ads. I wish these creators the best and hope they continue with their amazing work and make this game even better then it already is by adding even more features to the already impressive options that exist. This game can be saved and you can come back anytime.

This is a great and needed game on the App Store. Millions times better than Civ Rev. You and your team have done a great job! Here are some suggestions to make it more successful. 1. The UI needs improvement. It’s okay now, but if you want the downloads and it to be more fun, user interface goes a long way. I know that image assets can be very expensive, but changing the design of the buttons, adding different songs, changing the font, making the city menu and graphics look more appealing would make the game more fun. ALSO CHANGE THE APP ICON. It’s very messy and makes it look like a cheap game (no offense). CHANGING THE APP ICON AND GAME UI WILL INCREASE DOWNLOADS. 2. Roads need to be built faster. Please! 3. Wonders should be put in the civopedia and should have bonuses (like in the civ games). 4. Civopedia needs to be better, too. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MONETIZATION: I know that eventually you will need to make money, so maybe make most civilizations for sale and only a few for free. Also, how can I use the map editor?
