Dear Brad,
i'm a frickin big fan. I think I own every Galciv and Elemental Game there is. I totally buy your stuff because you are very honestabout what you are doing.
Then i had a year of Windows Gaming abstinence and heard about your first IOS Game. I read a quick Review to make sure its still great stuff. Reviews sounded Great so I spent the 2€ for your Game. I totally like it. I could live with the pay-2€-to-Level-faster, which I didnt spent because i thiught i bought a non freemium game. I enjoyed the leveling/toutorish aproach up to the Moment my "Canon trait" suddenly "expired". Suddenly the Game feels One of those countless Pay-to-enjoy Games.
I am disappointed.
