Rise of Empires: Fire and War Wiki

Just wanted to start by saying that the developers did an amazing job when creating this game in terms of consideration and detailing. Most games are stingy and require you to buy in order to grow. This game actually does not require you to do that. You can have multiple builders for free, you can produce/receive rss without having to login and collect rss, and even the time limits on building, researching, and training are reasonable. I have been playing this game for about a week now and I have yet to have a single complaint about it. I have played well over 10 games of the same type as this one yet none have been developed with as much fairness and consideration towards the players. This game is not only great as is, but it offers future potential as well. Keep up the good work!

I’ve spent $5 on this game since COVID broke out. First 2 weeks-1 month it requires a bit of attention to progress, after that checking in once or twice a day goes a long way. Some guys on here are total nerds and talk like their 1500’s knights or something, but it’s mostly chill, except ROC which I don’t understand and refuse to partake in much to the dismay of my teammates. You’ll never be able to touch the guys that spend real money on this game, some of these dorks invest an entire paycheck into this thing. I basically play to have an hour of enjoyment on Friday and Saturday by attacking unsuspecting geeks with their shields down. It makes me feel like a big man. When it happens to me, for some unexplained reason I get SOOOOO angry, so I try to dish that feeling out to as many others as I can. Cheers dorks.

It’s a good game. I’ve spent a fair amount of hours over the last few weeks playing it. I enjoy it fairly well for someone who loved Age of Empires as a kid and now adult. The cons: you get dropped in a “state” in the game with a bunch of people who don’t speak the same language as you so all the alliance messages are in another language and you have no idea what’s going on. You can move to another state if you’re under a level 6 but most of the time you don’t find out about that option until you’re already past that level. It would be super helpful to remove that level 6 rule. Let us move to whatever state or province we want, but maybe only allow it once or have to pay gems or $1.99 to do it, something! I play this game with my husband but we are in different states in the game and can’t rally or anything together. It would also be helpful to be able to have friends in this game, you could send gifts or supplies to.

I've been playing the game for months now and every time I get on to play I can not bind, I have read everything on it. I don't know if this is what's causing the problems that I'm having with this game. I have bought packages to play in the game and not get a subscription so I know how to do that but I got a $4.99 package and it's made me subscribe to the game. It will not let me use any product I have in storage I don't have access to it. I got the military halfway figured out but it won't allow me to build forces and use them I can recruit all day long but it won't allow me to use the recruits even after I train and all that. When I started playing the game I wanted to learn how the game worked before I put any money into it by purchasing a package. so after a week I deleted the game and I restarted it,It's still did not let me bind but I continue playing anyway and the first thing I did was to buy a $24 package that was not a subscription and I bought other packages that was not a subscription then I bought the $4.99 package and it automatically signed me up for a subscription and now I got to figure out how to get out of the subscription. What I want to do is get out of the $4.99 package subscription and then restart the game and have someone help me find out how to bind so I can play the game correctly.

Don’t download this game. Been playing the game for 6 months and the experience has been good solely based due to my alliance teammates. We have been able to meet a lot of wonderful people from around the world and grow together. However the game is heavily pay to win which completely ruins the experience. A single player can spend thousands to unlock all features and dominate the game. Once players hit that level, they become untouchable. We had the experience of an entire state being dominated by a single spender player. There was no way to counter him. These players are not restricted in any way and will bring down the experience. The worst part of this is that due to how different currencies work, players from some countries have an unfair advantage over others. The developers will not try to regulate these players in any way, since they only care about money. If this aspect of the game could be regulated, then the game would be 4-5 stars since it is fun, and actually requires strategy and good planning. However, as it is, unless you can spend thousands in a phone game, it is just an exercise in frustration and not worth the time.

Although I have enjoy the game for the short time I had it. I do have some issues with the advertising for the game. I have seen advertisements claiming that “this game says no to pay to win” this is being used for those who want a relaxed gaming experience where everyone has a fair chance. But like most games in this genre you need to pay to get ahead of those your competing against. Not to mention the only preview image that’s accurate with the game play, in the App Store is the final image. The rest of the preview phots are trying make you believe your about to play Age of Empires. These issues are a major red flags for me. While I understand the need to make a profit from a free to download game like this, claiming to be above that while hiding the fact there are micro transactions concerns me. A minor issue I have with the game lack of freedom to do what you want when a chapter is completed, and have unlocked a new building it’s more annoying than anything because not many people want to be interrupted during game growth moments because the game wants you to do something.

I have played the for about a month now. I was willing to get through the long tutorial and even stayed once the game opened the throne event up. Even stayed once our “king” was crowned and we ended up with a tyrant/dictator (note, you may get lucky and get a ruler that wants to help the province and not just themselves). I even stayed once we had to start state vs state events. But the event that destroys the game and the game play is the Reign of Chaos event. Reign of Chaos has caused more people to quit the game then any other event. I get it developers much games to make money and I’ve spent a fair bit more on this game trying to compete but all that money, time and effort gets thrown out the window during reign of chaos. The game play completely changes and you have spend yet more money to even survive this event let alone thrive. Maybe next time when you develop a game don’t change everything on a player a month or two in. That way you can make more money by keeping players longer.

I understand a free game having some micro transactions... but this game goes well and beyond. You need heroes? Buy them, you need resources, buy them, you need speed ups, buy them, you need crafting equipment that takes months and months to acquire? Buy them, your stamina is gone on your troops? Buy some more. Your troops died? Buy a money only item that increases your weekly revive from 30% to 100%. You need courage medals for research? Buy them. Oh here is an event for rewards for how more money you spend. Did I mention you get gems with all purchases? Oh here’s more speed ups and resources. Oh base rewards? Well don’t plan on getting those because the people who are spending money will completely make you useless. What’s that you want a 50% building time buff.... buy that. Oh vip shop unlocks at castle 20.... but you need to have spend 100 just to unlock it, and 25 monthly to keep using it..... but you can build it though. Not only is this a copy of lss which is entirely just different names and pictures. But some countries have a different money currency. So what will cost you 1000s to do, will cost them hundreds instead. Don’t even bother. You want to be a boss and spend $10,000 on this game it’s for you. You want to spend $100 don’t even bother. You and all the free to play people will just be fed on and used to increase the money spenders.

I started playing in a state with several of my friends. I have spent more money than I care to admit and I and ready to call the credit company and demand a refund. Chinese markets pay a small fraction of the price for the same packages in their store, they have a huge advantage. The game has already taken over 2 dozen accounts from good friends of mine for “suspicion of using a bot” they are all real people I assure you, people that have now lost accounts. Some of which were paid for. I will not spend another dollar in this game. I will be looking into a refund. They promise a fair and balanced playin environment. It’s anything but that. If I can’t play on the map with my friends what is the point of my investment?? And I can’t move my account now? The developers need start with fixing the prices to make them equal for every country. They can also add the odds of getting certain items to their paid packages. They do not show odds and 9/10 you will not get the hero’s you paid for if you buy super recruit tickets. I would greatly appreciate a few hundred tickets and a couple hundred thousand gems. With the amount I have paid into this they could at least do that. They have already driven my friends out of the game. They are about to lose everyone in state 204z

First of all this is not Age of Empires, it’s a ripoff and they should be sued for false advertisement. The ad makes you think that you are about to play the PC version of Age of Empires (there is a voice in the ad that says so!) but the game is completely different. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! Also, it’s a pay to win game. Sure, they start by giving you free buildings and free upgrades, later everything you want to do in the game costs real money. Do you want to build something? Money please! Do you want to upgrade something? Money please! Do you want troops? Money please! And read the reviews, a lot of people have bought in-game purchases and have been scammed and admins won’t reply to their tickets. Finally, people say that they are low level and are constantly being attacked by higher level players, which steal their resources, thus forcing you to pay money to get more resources in order to “get back on your feet”, but then guess what, you get attacked again and again and all that money you spent in recourses is technically gone and you repeat the cycle again. DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

It’s sad the developers can’t or won’t solve problems. The developers have a terrible reputation and are in fact accused of cheating or scamming people to gain more money from the players. Many are leaving because of this. My recommendation is to start solving problems. Second is to change your policy on the notion of “random” in recruiting and the unfairness in the “luck.” We have taken notes and shared information. No way 93 out of 100 cases, the “luck” issues a gold X level hero in the 900+ range. 1 out Of 1000 cases a hero is issued under 100 luck. This is 100% programmed. So the notion is a lie. We share your responses in line app and discord. Personally, I have had 0 problems solved in 2 years from the developers. Excuses and more diversions and lies is what you provide. I have many open cases and have provided information you’ve requested and in many cases, provided the information 3-5 times. ZERO results. Again, recommendations from Mr is for you to start getting results and no excuses. Your slow responses are another matter. We don’t want your excuses about delays in responses.

I had a lot of fun the first nine months made a lot of friends. Built my castle and my heroes. But the developers spend more effort changing hero avatars appearance than they do on content. Eden first season was disappointing but playable. Prize system only favors top 15 or so guilds no rewards for the rest. Prizes are pretty underwhelming even at top. Small alliances had little opportunity. I was excited when they announced changes and matching system. But a structure of points was created that will leave fewer with prizes and matching was a lie. They matched top alliances but put small alliances on maps with giants to fight. You can’t play unless you find guild to fit you all or split up and because you had the bad luck to land on hardest map no one wants your smaller players. It a bad system. Also, to move guilds away from your original area is nearly impossible do joining up has very limited option. Disappointing and people I really enjoy playing with are quitting. But never fear they will again spend time and effort updating avatar appearances and fix nothing

Do not play this game. The developers will not respond to you except in a standard reply for all problems in game. They never fix any problems that happens because of their updates or game glitches. If you ask Apple or Google for refunds due to the gaming company errors and faults, the developers take away items you paid for. They do not reconcile any issues unless you are of Chinese descent. They support players that bully and harass actual paying players. The events are never fair, recent events have had whole states locked from the events which everyone plays for to earn rewards, while the developer backed states continue to destroy any progress you may have made in said events. This has happened to me one the last 3 ROC events. The state I was in was not able to play and due to state 6, have lost huge rewards for playing events and never compensated by the developers when it is their fault. 200 players from different parts of the world can’t have the same network issue unless it is controlled by the servers for the developers.

There are many game glitches after updates that take away the free benefits in this game, like ways to get extra gold coins or helpful items. Contacting customer service is a waste of time & a joke. They can not, and will not make a customer happy by compensating items you get screwed out of when you report an issue. All they do is pass the information on to the developers that the last update caused an issue, so the developers can push another update to screw you out of more freebies. Customer service argues with you & is absolutely frustrating. I’m not sure why they call themselves Customer Service, because they do not care about customers, nor provide any useful service. They’ll gladly take your money for the packs they promote, that you can pay for within the game….there never seems to be a glitch when it comes to them taking your money!!! But don’t expect any help with any errors within the game. Most helpful advice I can give is, SPEND YOUR TIME SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
