Defines "Pay to Play"

I waited a few weeks before writing an honest review. When you first start this game, it seems to good to be true, gives you any options you want from a game like this. But the more you play, the harder the game becomes. At first you notice it from the amount of resources you can harvest, then it gets to the battles. You can hardly ever upgrade your troops without spending real money to buy gold, and if you want the "higher tier" troops such as "knights, crossbow men, knights calvary" ect. Guess what? Pay up! (Just wait till raiders start attacking that you cant get rid of.) The same exact thing goes for upgrading your buildings, to collect the recources to upgrade one castle it takes usually half a week,(without battles because you wont be able to win the easiest ones anymore) Youll soon realize that you wont be able to accomplish the "missions" to use valor to expand land, because its once again rigged to be so hard you cant accomplish it without paying. Overall, I had high hopes for this game, after playing it for a few weeks, I can honestly say I wont play until the rigged system is nerfed. Its one thing playing and paying to upgrade units, its another when "easy" battles include 2-3 star raiders that your 1 star troops wont ever be able to beat.
