Mods

Game plays well and the setup is good. You can play online and in tournaments against other players. Game also tracks stats (if youre into that kinda thing).
There are mods available to help you almost all of the time. They are helpful in getting you going and playing the game.
It is very interesting to play people from all over the world. This sometimes creates mini national wars but the mods enforce a strict no swearing and respecting other players rule.
This may not be for everyone but I enjoy being able to play without my day being ruin by abusive players. It also means I can allow my children to play with the knowledge they are not exposed to that sort of thing in a game app.
