I have continued playing FoE on my iPad since it is easier to navigate and the display is nicer. I usually just fight people and never negotiate since the icons they show for negotiating are so tiny i cannot read or see what the item is. So i usually just fight and then if i don’t win ill go back to my city and produce them again and then go back and fight once again. I want to start negotiating but i have no clue where the items i make in my city end up at either. For me, I have always seen a game as a game. Never have I once thought it could have educational value until this class. One way I would say this game can have educational value is with social studies. This could show kids what times where like back then, how they had to produce items and how they conquered land. I have gotten pretty far in this game, and yes i have used my diamonds to speed up some of the processes. As for the medals, I have no clue what those are being used for just yet. Also, I like the ability that we have diamonds in the game to speed up processes but I for one will not be putting my own money in it since diamonds eventually cost real life money.
