Write your reply.

assistant: I currently have 2 league games and a local game going with Kingdoms.
It is a slower moving game where it takes a while to build up. If you
miss a couple days' turns and another player gets the jump on you it is
hard to catch up if they don't miss any days.
Personally, I like the game alot but it could sure use some expansion
and bug fixes.
I hear an update should be out pretty soon.
In a league game the most important thing to do IMO is to amass an army
to protect your stuff because if  you get invaded by an enemy it can be
quite devastating.
In a local game the most important thing to do is not miss any days'
turns.
