I totally agree with this statement, which shows how bad the game is.
Forge of Empires is advertised as a strategy game. If that's what it is, it should not be a requirement to sign up on a beta server to understand how to strategise.
If an event is forcing technological advancement, or Continent Map advancement, this should be made clear to ALL users up front, so that ALL players can actually strategise this 'strategy' game.
These questions should be answered now, and included in the notice for all events:
- Will this event require a technology to be studied (without any alternative other than abandoning the event)?
- Will this event require a province to be scouted or acquired (without any alternative other than abandoning the event)?
I think I provided you with the Wikepedia defenition of Strategy in another thread, which states, that strategy is a high level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty.
So actually no prior knowledge of specific conditions in certain parts of the game (such as events), can be a valid reason to dismiss this game as a strategy game.
