I finished conquering the province Dunarsun. I also added some friends and earned coins by aiding them. My city is starting to run out of room, so I need to expand it soon! I tried to complete my newest quest which was to buy a forge point, but the button to buy forge points was not working on my iPad. I had this issue before where a button wouldn’t work when I played the game on a computer, so it seems like there is some glitches in it.
I think the educational possibilities in the game include building critical thinking skills and learning what is needed to maintain a city. I think this game can be incorporated into history classes when talking about how civilizations are built.
The game on my laptop and iPad are pretty similar, but I would say the iPad game is easier to play simple because of the touchscreen facility. The main difference between them is the tabs on the bottom of the screen. On the iPad, you can only see the build, research and map tab at first. To see the rest, I have to press an arrow to open them up. The friends tab is also condensed in this way; I have to press an arrow to open it up. Personally, I prefer this because it makes the screen less busy and is less distracting.
