my big gues it is all to do with the money. Maybe there client licences fee is to big for the money the make with selling GEMS stones or premium stuff for real money and the game was to expensive to maintain. It is not fun to play indeed. The worst is the lag and that the star menu to send out your explores and so on is not reconed. That you suddenly click building or generals in de the background. Then you must work hard to close the wrong windows. So it has double problems of the lag ,not only the waiting wrong windows open en closing constant. Please give people choice
