Snail speed experiment(the snail wins), and test of sanctity through Job's patience.
There are games that deserve more than 5-star rating, and games that deserve less than zero rating. You will decide in which of these two categories this game belongs.
You came for the badges; let's sum up how it works. It has an easy badge which is, as promised, quite easy. Someone with average experience between easy and medium badges is expecting the medium badge will also be achievable in a normal amount of time. So he/she keeps playing, til the realization struck that this is going to take ages. Then a dilemma arises: do I leave right now or keep trying through sheer stubbornness? I think everyone that got the badges opted for the second option. But the torture..
Don't get your hopes up.The description on the medium badge ("not achievable in a day, can be done with few minutes every day") is either inaccurate or on purpose vague. Some simple"wrong"upgrades may stall you to eternity, til you are able to gather what's needed to reset town.
You want the points; get them through other games. Even fans of idle games (see comments) can't stand it- if you are not a fan,run away!
If you still want to proceed, good luck, and brace yourself with patience.
Devs,the statues that are required for full emperor's statue were given during summer period..it's only natural that most of us,even those who are quite active,didn't get them all.please reconsider this and do something fast for more people to be able to get it.
