For those who don't know of it already, Forge of Empires is the newest release from Innogames.

The official Innogames website has the following to say about it:
In the browser game Forge of Empires you can build your own city and experience all of history from its perspective - from the stone age on through the centuries. Explore new technologies that ring in a new era. Leave a mark with unique, contemporary buildings and establish a gigantic metropolis that is unparalleled anywhere. Increase your empire with sophisticated strategic campaigns and skilled actions in Forge of Empires. Create your own world: Forge your Empire!

The strategy game Forge of Empires takes you through the different eras - explore new building types and technologies to continue developing your settlement. Meet the challenges of the single-player campaigns until you rule an entire continent, or compete against other players in the multiplayer mode. In the browser game Forge of Empires, dedicate yourself to research and develop more advanced battle units, innovative products and spectacular buildings. Passionate builders will have many opportunities to develop and beautify their cities in this strategy game.

I must admit I am not overly impressed with it so far, either. It has potential, though, and it is only in the beta stages so hopefully it will improve over time, as all (read: most) games do.

Yeah. I agree..I liked it at first but once I started expanding I wasn't that interested anymore..I haven't logged in for a couple days already. :p

I was looking forward to the final few research technologies, and noticed they cost ~100k resources, while I'm struggling to get a few hundred.. I suppose it would get easier to get resources the longer you play, though.

It has positives, though. Like the single-player aspects, the options to visit the city of other players and help them (although that is also a negative, that players can still attack each other, without control, so the single-player aspect is not totally single-player), the different troop types, the combat (although the combat is already seeming rather repetitive, and improvements could be made).

Yeah. I don't like the combat system myself...It does the same thing every time and what is the strategy in that? :p

The enemy AI doesn't seem particularly good, either. All you have to do is move slightly forward, get them to move in close but not quite close enough to hit you, and then make the first strike and destroy them before you lose any of your units.. rather easy, and not really particularly demanding as far as strategy goes.
