Previously rated 5* (2013) The game has it's up and downs, for example... There's no tutorial for beginners, most the maps are now inactive, majority of the maps are controlled by about 5 tribes who don't fight (the whole point in the game) Upsides are it's easy to navigate (once you're familiar) The game runs smooth 90% of the time, which is great for a MMOG, And the ability to use multiple villages at once is a good touch,

I am playing this game since 2016. I like it, but it a slow speed game that is not developing. Other similar games bring from time to time new elements in their game. Here, in Celtic Tribes everything basically remained the same since the day I started to play it until now. Only the introduction of the Fortress was really something new, but that happened a long time ago. Everything takes too long. Conquering a small free village and building it up into a fully developed city takes too long. It is even worse when you start with the fortresses. Growing a new fortress into a fully developed fortress takes months. Building troops is the same story. It just takes too long. For example, filling up a fortress with axe warriors takes roughly 7 months. For conquering cities or fortresses you need to have enough silver. Building up silver is again time consuming. At this moment most bigger players just wait until a half silver event appears and then they try to conquer as much as possible. In the period between half silver events they seldom conquer something. So there is basically not much action in the game-world that I play. The main reason is the silver exchange rates. The exchange rates must be improved and then everybody will conquer more frequently instead of waiting for the half silver events. The last improvement on the silver exchange rate was done in May 2016 by the developers. I can only give 2 stars due to the low overall speed of the game. Otherwise, it is a nice game.
