Premium features dont really give much of an advantage, sure it gives a slight advantage but this game is in no way a "pay to win" game. If a player is skilled enough they should easily be able to beat a player that buys premium features. Also more strategies dont give you an advantage if you cant use them correctly.
I challenge somebody to attempt to make a star wars map/scenario. however I realize that would be very tough due to the immense size of the star wars universe.
@sabermanity dude if you think the 1st game is better than go play that instead of saying how bad this is, the devs worked very hard to try to improve on things that were lacking in the first game and i think they did a pretty good job.
i find this to be a very good game, would give it a 5/5 but the players on this game are awful. for example: spammers, "hackers", trolls, little kids, and just plain jerks. so i gotta rate this game 3/5.
