Yeah... I play too. I'm up to Level 21.
Add me if you like... name is: RabbitGod
BTW, my biggest complaints with the game is that there isn't enough incentive to keep leveling up after a certain point. The larger things you can buy aren't all that great. For example, the cheapo well is still the best and easiest way to replenish your followers energy, but that's available to buy VERY early on in the game. The larger taverns make gold, but they don't replenish energy fast enough... even at Level 21.
I'd also MUCH rather have a pay version of the game too, without all the spammy ads.
I'm also at the point where it doesn't let me make my planet bigger, so I'm running out of room for buildings and such 🙁
Despite all that, I still play it. I like these sim-type games. I'm hoping they'll be a Sims 3 for iPad, and I hear Farmville is coming too... (I refuse to play it on FB - LOL)
