Generally Oceanic is called the worst.
Arctic is a slight problem for adding on the Colony.
Lot of players are insulting Titan but I find it to be OK. Troops not great, but good enough once you get boost up.
Why so negative?
I have actually camped OF on purpose before. It's not horrible if you want to be there. Though I certainly hated it when it was the last age and I couldn't get out! But different game back then - GBG was not around as aspirational content and while goods selling was kinda "endgame" for me, OF goods were hard to trade for even a bag of pucks at the time.
Positives:
- Capable flyer if you just want to auto 8xflyers vs the world. No worse than doing so in SAM imo. Definitely cleaner than SAT.
- Widest variety of units to play with if you get bored. You don't *have to* use units other than the flyer, but you can benefit from doing so if it floats your fancy.
- Being in it and using the terminal sooner rather than later means you can be out of it sooner if you prefer.
Negatives:
- That capable flyer is near the end of the tree. You might need to use other things for a while. Many sources of random units seem incapable of providing the "2nd" unit of each type. Thankfully 8 eels, available early, are about as good as 8 gliders if you want to 1-army it.
- If you *don't* want to be there, it is without question objectively the slowest age to get through and painfully expensive if you want to spend diamonds to skip it - there's no efficient way to rush orichalcum by diamonds. If you have thousands of FP to burn (and i emphasize *burn*) you *can* rush orichalcum by powerlevel-raze-repeat on the space carrier.
