Great mobile game.... Until you hit the top level

This has been a regular game on my phone for over a year. To start with it's great fun building your base, levelling up your defences and warriors. There are daily bases to attack as well as other players bases. You can join a task force to attack huge bases that take numerous attacks.
The down side once your troops and base are max level there is little to do. There isn't enough variety in the daily missions. The task force bases are very limited as there are only a couple you'll likely be able to beat with everyone attacking. Other bases are too easy.
I would give it a 9 to start but a 6 at the top level, so about 7.5 is fair.

Movie Rating Watch

Politically somewhat problematic tale of stoic imperial soldiers blasting the hell out of disgruntled African tribesmen isn't quite as bad as it sounds, also made a star out of Michael Caine. Based on the true story of the battle of Rorke's Drift in 1879, at which 150 British soldiers fought several thousand Zulu warriors to a standstill.

Made at the time as a piece of aren't-we-great jingoism, Zulu still stands up well as a stirring war movie and a story of men finding common ground under pressure. Good performances from Caine and Stanley Baker (who was the actual star at the time). Many memorable moments, too, such as the sing-off between the two armies. The Zulus are actually treated with respect, as shrewd and honourable fighters. Chief Buthelezi (later a minister in the South African government of Nelson Mandela) plays his own great-grandfather.

In a realm where toxic mist sweeps the lands and magic is forbidden, all Bleak wants is a cure for her power.

Still grieving the death of her guardian and dangerously self-medicating with alcohol, Bleak is snatched from her home by the Commander of the King's Army and summoned to the capital. But the king isn't the only one interested in Bleak's powers.

The leader of an infamous society of warriors, the Valia Kindred, lays claim to her as well, and Bleak finds herself in the middle of a much bigger battle than she anticipated.

<strong>Loved it</strong>

I don't often give 5 stars but I really enjoyed this book. Every character has something different to bring. It leaves you wanting so much more!!
I'm excited to see what other powers Bleak has,also they are all shrouded in mystery. The most is intriguing too.
