What a boring game. It's more work than play. Jump over here and tell the castle to build a kniggit, then jump over there and help out with the battle, then jump over here and tell the dude to fix your tower, then jump back to the castle and tell the kniggit to joing the fight....what a bunch of f****** work!!!!
Managing resources and troops...I'll get a job for the U.S. Army if I want to do that. I think I'll play a game.
It's like SimCity 3000. Give me a break. Sewer lines, electrical lines, water lines, etc., it's work, not play.
Anyone who disagrees with me is a moron.

It may be boring to you, but it is fun to others (including me). I truly hope that your post is sarcasm - especially the last line =).

a bunch of lazy asses. I can't believe some idiot thinks War III is "f****** work". If you're going to be that friggin lazy, why don't you go back to eating potato chips on your couch and watching friggin little house on the prairie reruns.
