Imperia Online is so slow

After getting tired of waiting to play mob wars in Facebook I started playing Imperia Online , although the interface looks nice and fun the game moves very slowly for my liking. It takes ages to gather the necessary resources so sometimes it gets very boring. I hope as I level up and build up my kingdom the game play becomes more faster. On the other hand I'm having trouble getting enough members to my mob in mob wars. How hard could it be to accept an invitation and create a character ?
