That was kind of cool, although once you get the rules down, it's basically the luck of the board layout. If you have enough places to expand before encountering red, it's easy to win.
A remember a similar game, and already then I stood no chance. Whatever I try, I get crushed :(
Neat idea and design.
Reminds me of the game mechanic in Dyson, just without all teh fluff. Great strategy game, I'm just not sure how it fit the theme.
I win! Pretty solid execution. I felt like my success or failure had a lot to do with the randomly generated map, but maybe I'm just not good at strategy. :) For me, the best thing was grabbing a bunch of uncontested land and then turtling.
This is a really good strategy game, and quite polished. The AI is not very aggressive so it's quite easy. (I played about 10 games and didn't lose any)
I don't think the 3D view worked very well for this. I would have preferred a 2D view and a bigger window that can see the whole board.
Took a while to understand the rules, might be more straightforward if the cost was simplified. Neat strategy game though. A bit too abstract, I think it would be better if you had worked on the theming the game rather than making it 3D.
