It has daily rewards, and a lot of the buildings and especially wonders have daily productions.
Grinding reported on Nov 15, 2023
The entire game is built around this.
Advertisements reported on Nov 15, 2023
Yeah, but at least the rewards are limited and there's no forced ads.
Infinite Treadmill reported on Nov 15, 2023
Still in development and most of the later ages aren't even added yet, so it's understandable.
Premium Currency reported on Nov 15, 2023
Gems.
Pay to Win reported on Nov 15, 2023
You could skip the entire game with purchases, theoretically.
Social Obligation / Guilds reported on Nov 15, 2023
Weekly alliance treasure hunts require everyone to play in order to get the best results. However, it is viable to play in an one-person alliance at your own pace (and I recommend it)
Artificial Scarcity reported on Nov 15, 2023
There are daily offers and bundles. There are also events, but these are seasonal and come back every year.

The entire game is built around this.
