Does anyone else play this game, and if so what are your thoughts? It's a castle building and combat game on Facebook that allows for interactivity between players for trade, alliances, and warfare. I've played daily for about a month and am up to level 41 so far, but I am by no means an aggressive or power player. I like it because in my opinion it has the best balance of stability and competitiveness that I've seen in this type of game on a large-scale multiplayer level. People can raid your castle and might get away with a few resources, but they can't take everything you have, destroy your buildings, or take your castle from you, so you can keep advancing without fear of having to start over. This makes it more fun for not-so-aggressive types to be able to enjoy and prosper in the game. Having some acquaintances of the more aggressive type who are also playing, they have complaints about this sometimes, but I think the diversity is a good thing, plus it's nice to see a system where you don't necessarily get ahead by being bigger and meaner than everyone else.

I never play facebook games, but my son is a big fan. This one does sound better than your average shoot 'em up type game.

I'm a pretty avid gamer in general, but I particularly enjoy the castle-building type as one of my favorites. I think of them as having beyond-just-the-game benefits in encouraging an interest in history and developing useful real-life skills in logistics and economics.
