They make things take time which is why your there playing you have time and lets face it is fun to design your little kingdom and I flirt with the grandma so bonus =P. I played farmville and castleville so some of the cons reflect that system. you had muti farms near the end so having the right cliff where the Martial monastery, crystal lighthouse, mountain halls, dwarven bulwark, blooming traders guild and prosperity towers are should have been gate for all the races of chapter. but no their just there as long and you use up a great deal of space have 2 building. Elvenar is about friending a race then use them for your gain and in the end banish them or enslave them as property or ingrediencies to make stuff which is creepy weird and to sell or trade them as currency or trade goods. dehumanizing them after he friended them. if you mentally replace orc with nigro or jew you see the creepy. Tournaments they should just wall it battle or war you send troops there they fight they die. That is not a friendly tournament were every one goes home after a day of playing I love the whole negotiation thing 190K supplies 4700, Orcs/nigros and 2300 marble....see the creepy? there are 19 guest races there is enough room on the right side cliff for all of them to have representation and as the spire be a gate way to the buildings we worked so hard to build and work as a stand alone kingdom but no we banish them or enslave them. this is a huge flaw and it creeps me out that I support this mind set. I do not spend a penny on the game not that makes me feel better. but this is the best game for building a kingdom castleville sucked. No one attacks you here pro point you get to design your kingdom like starcraft you have to keep sharp and play a long game. you plan you maintain and to flourish. it's a long running game I been playing over 3 year and I am not the highest player. half the game is over coming human weaknesses like not being patient they make cheating easy when it's not called cheating, for this much diamonds you have immediate gratification. yes they like to convert real money to some thing thats currency and yet not appear to be real money as you really need to be good at math to see how expensive cheating is. a diamond is a penny real money oh but wait if you buy 20 dollars of diamonds it's less the a penny yes this is true you basically give them your money like a bank and then you spend that bank account on their digital pixel stuff or cheats play to win fellowship quests blah blah blah. I mean if i could get people to give me their money so i can make interest in my real bank and then dol out the pennys on pixils. chaaaaachingggg.

There are 169 expanses with 25 squires each equaling 4225 squires. That does sound like a lot does it not? But Nooooo it is hard to get expanses.. humm with out cheating.. you can buy a set amount but is gets more expensive each time you cheat. They delighted in making things bigger and bigger to compensate for your expanding kingdom and it worked right up to the point where their failure to plan ahead kind of like watching lost the tv show they had no plan for season two and winged it in a cluster mess same here they never planned for people to continue to play and so they scabbed extra "new" chapter problem was their space does not work now so they started a new trend of making things smaller but needing more guest races are a good example. this photo is my kingdom this morning note 12 5x5 guest race building trap maker and gold smith their gave me the quest that i had to have 8 of one and 4 of the other taking up 12 full expansions plus the gate 9x7 squires plus the Portal Monuments pillars 4 at 4x2, garden I have 2 at 3x3, Temple veneration 5x5 and the temple sustainability 5x5. 160 squires thats 6 more expansions 18 total out of my kingdom know i do not have 169 expansions i have a lot i am way ahead of were normal players are because i play differently. I am in the Amuni chapter you have to have 320 completed provinces i have 448. so i have a great deal more space and yet look at the FUBAR.. doohh were they to make gates alone the cliff they would free up a great deal of space all the guest buildings would be in their kingdom and not in mine plus the game designers those evil trolls could have just had Orc armor as a currency in stead of orc/nigro slaves.. just saying..

![](https://en.wiki.elvenar.com/images/4/45/SpireMaps.png) Game economics is it worth the cost people seem to not take this into consideration. The Spire sure bragging rights I mean have you seen the high level fellowship Arch mages bragging on their fellowship overview? The spire is by design to eat up all of your resources and make you start spending money. Troops cost X amount of supplies and X amount of time to make depending on your level and units made how many armory's you have placed. you have to pick and choose what your priorities are you have to pick between tournaments, solving providences or fighting the spire and gabling away your resources. ![](https://en.wiki.elvenar.com/images/f/fe/Spire_Set_A.png) This set is cool and is very useful at the mana levels I crafted mine in the Magic Acadamy and placed it in my kingdom you can get this in the spire but the cost of running the spire to get parts in expensive. the teleport spell is the only reason I do any of the spire and thats just to the first couple doors. I have made it past the 3 army war chest but the cost was just to high I depleted my army and suffered for it in the tournament. The magic buildings are a curse as you have to pay real money to raise them in level after you place them. The only building worth any thing is the Moonstone set and as I said I crafted mine. the only draw back is i was only offered one set to craft. This is where I spend my troops and resource. There are some glitches like if you have never bought a magic building you do not get blueprints. 3 years I been playing I still have never gotten one. Royal Restoration you have to get 4 chests. I made my own Fellowship and closed it so there is just me and I clear 3 chests so I no longer get them least I open my fellowship up in which I feel obligated to do stuff I don't want to do like the spire. I left you links to Elvengems those people are awesome. anyways this took forever and I am posting it I'll rant later after thinking on what I missed or might edit bluh bluh bluh.

It never ceases to amaze me at what length the creature well go to screw stuff up in this game. I use to be able to put points on peoples wonders but now it is just not worth it any more they made the game in to a us and them mentality. Elvenar gives fellowship members free ancient wonder points which is great for the fellowship but edges out every one else as it is a waste of points to put points on other players the rewards do not pay for the cost of the trunks. You literally have to put hundreds of points on a players wonder to get a 5 point token or you get nothing.
Fellowships have set rules to only help other fellowship members if they are caught helping others they get banished for aiding the enemy. If you help one of those members they are set up on by the higher up's and threatened with banishment the game is no fun any more to play it is flawed in so many ways the higher I get in levels the more the game sucks.
I am not the only one who is unhappy with the state of the game other third party sites have stopped posting new content or helping advice.
I made my own fellowship and closed the board so I would still get the fellowship quests and benefits but do not have to deal with other. just after the big downsizing of server space where they put all the active players in one server over half have quite playing whole fellowships abandoned. The higher you get the more you come to see the flaws. You simply look around and see how many failed quest buildings people have set and how long ago they quite playing.
the new neighbor help button is nice on the world map province table just click and help on my PC now I help every one but you can tell whos new and note how many have been replaced. A lot of players have been replaced they are only a very few left who are my chapter level or higher and most of them are wallet warriors who have to much money in the game to walk away.
But I am a fellowship of one and I do very well with out other I avoid putting wonder points on any of the high level fellowship members as it is a huge waste of points or I dump them on 2 people I really like from my first fellowship not worth the prize but worth edging out the control freak who took over they fellowship.
Wade Winston is my hero. =P

As I riase in level the game gets more broken and disturbing. The game was to be a kingdom building game where we are told through ad's we build a kingdom have friendly trade with other races. No battle strategy gaming were we attack neighbors steal kill pillage and burn. No it was sold to me as a friendly game where every ones happy.
As you start chapter five we get our guest races dwarves we welcome them use them and then banish them when we enter chapter six. We repeat the welcoming of fairies we welcome them used them then banished them. It was this point going in to chapter eight that we welcomed orc's and goblins we used them but the game changed we built "breeding grounds" and the dynamic of the game changed to a slave based society. We enslaved the orc's we used them in out wars "tournaments" and pillaging the spire. at this point the slaves became currency and building material literally killing and grinding up the body's for aggregate.
It was disturbing to use them as slaves and currency it is just a game and all but in chapter fourteen it got just plain sick we have to breed 500 slaves kill them grind them up for street aggregate to make one squire of Enigma Avenue. WE called them guests in chapter eight and in chapter fourteen we are breading them to make streets out of their dead bodies?
InnoGames GmbH is a German video game developer based in Hamburg. So it is not surprising their view of other humanoid races is less then human or dehumanizing humanoid races and making a game based on slavery. The humanoids used as currency is part of the game as is breeding them to sell. Grinding them up to make roads is so wrong on so many levels.
But I get it what is bothering me is I am supporting them I might not profit them but they are making money and in making breeding selling and killing them for street aggregate is morally bankrupt. Three years I have in the game now I just feel creepy playing it.
Do they fix it? No they put their resources in to crafting another village building game and appear to be ready to walk away from Elvenar. With world events in the spot light a game that enslaves a race sells then kills them and uses the bodies as building material would be noticed and now Germany is rebuilding their armed forces in real life.
Anyways I am torn now as I clearly am not happy with how the game has changed to a horrific creepy immoral game. Do I delete it from my corner of the web world as I clearly have issues now with the game. I know I well never start another Innogames game ever again as the people creating them are just bad people.
The game is broken flawed by design as I rise up in levels it does become very clear there are a lot of reasons to no longer play this game or any of their games ever again.
