Quote from XephyrZionMy main problem with this game is the Empire Coins, It makes it a Pay to win not a play to win and honestly almost nobody likes pay to win games. Play to win games are almost allways better than pay to win games as they are more appealing to the player. I think you need a better system that allows you to generate wealth from it rewarding your amazing efforts in ways like these- A rank system- for every enemy that is defeated you gain x amount of points to level up and gain new items/upgrades or you can pay to upgrade x levels and automatically unlock the items/upgrades. or- For every battle that you win the player could gain points to a certain item they wish to unlock or they could pay a fee to unlock it automatically. Im sure there would still be items that aren't game-breaking but help that will cost money but that would be fine. And possibly a survey system to earn Empire coins.
I hope you find my suggestions okay :)

Do armory Items give players a game advantage over players who have not used E coins?
The armory items in Stick Empires change the look and feel of your Empire through customization, however we do not believe in giving any game advantage to players who have paid vs not paid, as this is simply unfair in the gaming world. Unlocking the Chaos race does give players a more divers Empire choice however we strive to keep both races as balanced as possbile and are constantly working to achieve this.
