Bug Report – Resource Depot / Haulers

I’m enjoying Battle Nations, but I noticed a problem with the Resource Depot. The Haulers are not showing up on the map when they are collecting resources. The resources are being collected, but I cannot see the Haulers or their movement. Could you please look into this and fix the issue in a future update? It would be great to be able to see the Haulers working on the map like they should. Thank you for your work on the game!

Not the game it once was

It’s been brought back by a new company and while I’m grateful that it’s been brought back, a year into the rebuild and it’s not anywhere close to what it once was. The new owners apparently don’t like the old occupy and SP trading that made guilds and collaborating so useful. It’s basically a 1 player game now except for the 2 boss strikes. No in game chat so all the good guilds are using 3rd party apps to communicate. It’s a mess. They built out the entire 5 year campaign in one year but skipped so much of what made the game great. Community.

Some of your info going to Israel

if you go to their new privacy policy, as of 7/8/2026, then go to their marketing setting and then go under AppsFlyer it shows you that your information is going to Israel and it’s the default, dunno if the “don’t sell my personal information” box opts you out or not. The data collected is android/google advertising ID, browser language, browser type, device type, IP address, OS version, pages visited, referrer URL, Time Zone, Time Stamp, User Agent, User ID, ads shown, app downloads, identifiers, and installation data. A shame because I liked playing this game a whole lot more before the policy change :(

I’m not convinced

I have already spent multiple hours on this game, and I’m level 43. I like the cartoonish art and the gameplay. However, there is too much pay to win in this game. You should not progress that fast, because you have to use industries to obtain money that give you also XP without a way to obtain resources (gear for example) more easily. You can drop it with some fight, but they are not adapted for the troops you got so you can be blocked. I think the only thing tat I can demand is not using gear to heal a troop.

Such an addiction

I love this game. However, for the pas 3 days it has constantly been crashing. It starts of fine with the music but then crashes immediately, leaving the app useless for me to go on. It really pisses me off. You need a new update ASAP. I play on an iPhone 5 on IOS 9.2 so there is definitely a problem with the app. Please fix and then a definite 5 star game

Dead

It was a great game when it was starting out, but nearing half way through 2015, the devs kinda just left it for dead and stopped paying attention to it for any sense of the meaning, great for spending money on, game wise the money spent was well worth it, it's a pay to win but there are ways to grind very hard and make it not a p2w, I would still be playing the game if the devs kept adding more content

— Jabsysiansbdh

★★☆☆☆ Canada · v4.12.7 · 10 Jan 2026

Too many limiting factors early game

The constant needs of stopping your progress due to the many many currencies you need to juggle population cap is such a stupid idea to implement. Its only purpose is to slow progress down so you can’t build let’s say 14 farms to collect XP. And to entice you into buying the in game currencies in order to level it up. Why hasn’t this game learned to create lasting play time is to make the game have a steady rhythm of progression rather than just making it seem you need to pay to win. COC and its subsidiaries have all proven this to be true.

Greedy

It’s somehow more greedy than the original game and stay away from the team fortress characters, they cost a lot of resources and the ai always targets them first. The level scaling is ridiculous too. And it keeps saying there’s an update available prevent you from playing even though there’s nothing to download. It’s only good for that tiny bit of nostalgia but there are far better/entertaining games out there that are less predatory.

Best App I Ever Played!

Played this game on and off for 3 years and this is the game I compare all other apps too and none have entertained like Battle Nations did and very few even come close. Unfortunately the Developers lied to all our faces, literally sold out and ghosted the players like we were a girlfriend they didn't have the backbone to break up with. Now this game has been dead in the water for over a year now without an event or update and players attempts to ask for answers resulted in accounts being deleted. Massive shame :(

Micro transactions!

Entirely geared to micro transactions. Even knowing that, and spending a few bucks to jump the first levelling hurdle, you are quickly met with a point where you must buy more nanopods or grind VERY slowly with combats. There, you are faced with the difficulty of healing your good units without (you guessed it) nanopods. Fun storyline, but only play if you have a LOT of time or deep pockets

What was once a great game

One of the few gems in the App Store that will provide months of entertainment, humour, fun and a compelling plot. Sadly, ever since Z2's acquisition by a greedy organisation behind Candy Crush, this game has been left for dead. No new updates, no new quests - nothing. I'd love to give this game 5 stars, but unless they come back to revive this unique game, keep looking.

Great game, but abusive, terrible company.

Good game, I've played it since it wasnt even a year old. Unfortunately the company that run it have changed it so you must pay to have any fun. You must pay thousands of pounds just to be in a chance of getting anything. Also, they realise Promotional content - which is often game breaking and must have - almost weekly. The player base of this game have complained about it and suggested improvements and yet they are ignored, silenced or in many cases banned (check out the Z2 Battle Nations forums). They practically force you to pay to continue playing, and it's not fun at all. They extortionate their player base all the time, and abuse our loyalty just to pay for their new houses and expensive cars. Another issue is hackers. There aren't many hackers in this game but those that are publicise it. Of course, these hackers pay the most to the game and play the most of the game so Z2 doesn't touch them, despite them playing around with the game and deliberately making it public. So... If you pay good you can do what you want. Don't download, at all. Terrible company. Don't listen and do their own thing - always money grabbing. Check out the Z2 forums to see the disgruntled player base if you aren't convinced, and the vacant sh**s given by the company. Abusive and disgusting.

Great game

I've been playing this game for 3 years off and on, and recently got back into it. It's an awesome game that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys city builders, economy management, and multiplayer battles. However, a noticeable downside I have come across is that whenever I try to do anything keyboard related, such as searching for a guild or signing into my Z2 account, the keyboard lags like crazy and it takes 10 minutes to type anything. Please fix this :)

A fair well to a great game

Battle nations has brought me hours of fun with both it's gameplay and it's great storyline but alas King has bought Z2 and they decide to end the game. What a pity it is to see such a great game wither away but this I beg of the developers: If you decided to end the game then at least make an ending to the storyline as a fair well to Battle nations.

Update issues

Ok, see, the latest update changes the weapons one my Mega tanks, which is annoying. I want to fire main gun of one, then the next, then the next, repeat. The newest update switches the weapon of my next tank to machine guns, which upsets my rhythm. Additionally, at the end of battle, the SP gained is no longer shown. I don’t like that, I want to see how my units are progressing with each battle.
