Well Daniel, could you explain what the game is like in comparison to this one, I've considered switching over but I have no idea what that game is like and I don't want to attach something else to my email unless I intend on using or playing it.

I tried it, not worth it. It's literally a knock off version of this game, made by the same people. The only difference I noticed was that building times for troops and buildings was much shorter (As in building and troops were built in 5 seconds, but I only played through the tutorial) and the design layout of everything was just horrendous. I'm not sure why they would make a knock off so close to the original, it has storehouses, troops recruited in 5s with the x2 for rubies feature. Storehouse, farmhouse, stone quarry and wood cutters all present with walls and towers and a world map. It is literally this game, just different look. Basically, its a fresh start for anyone fed up here.

oh Hahahahahahahahahahahaaahhhhaaaahhaaaahaaaaa!
My goodness! I have never, in my life, seen a game so obviously, so ruthlessly carbon copied in every way, shape or form imaginable. Good grief! I think they may even have copied over our skins for the gems to make their version of rubies. Unbelievable!
Hahahahahahaaa.
*Sigh, in all seriousness, this mostly looks to me like an attempt by GGS to bring their product to a younger audience. Not only are the graphics garishly rounded and obscenely cutesy, but there are subtle design changes which hint at the expectation that the consumer is less tech and number savvy. For instance, in the tutorial, it was impossible to move the placement of the buildings, something that even two years ago was quite possible in the GGE tutorial. I doubt that this was simply due to the game being in "beta", simply because I detected similar themes of restricting the player control throughout the tutorial, and because they clearly had the code to facilitate such player choice once one finished the tutorial. This code was probably directly copied from GGE, just like the rest of the tutorial was (although it might have been a bit shorter...).
Other hints towards this I noticed was that the usual numbers we have here in GGE to show the strength of our troops, where replaced with little stars. Again, suggesting that this is a game aimed at a younger audience that can't be expected to really quite know how the standard numerical system works.
Overall, while I didn't look at anything for more than a few seconds, I was struck with the impression that this was a slightly more restricted and less serious version of GGE, with a few less options, a few less choices, and a lot more rounded corners liberally sprinkled across the screen. Probably a cash grab, doubt it'll succeed.

Thank you, I thought I was the only one who saw that bull$hit for what it actually is.

I agree.
You can still have fun though.
I mean, after all, the ruby decorations cost 5 times as much as in GGE. And the ruby buildings cost twice as much.
But you can know move buildings.
