I love that you were able to get so much accomplished in 48 hours. I can't imagine trying to make a game as complicated as this in that time. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is quite boring and tedious as there doesn't appear to be a lot to do except move slowly across the map and it's time consuming to constantly select and move each unit. Still, I could see this evolving into a fun game if you keep at it.
The art is sweet. I like that you took on such a huge task, but I'm sad it isn't fully finished yet.
This is a nice Civilation Clone. I love the Game "Civilization" and your idea of making 2d game of it. The Movement of the units is a little bit buggy and overall i've seen all technolgies and units in "Civilization". I expected here something new.
I hope you will keep working on this game. I like your idea. Keep up the good work.
Wow, I'm speechless! It's like a Civilization, but made in 48 hours!
Big game! It would play better if there was some defaul action under left mouse click :)
Holy Moley! You built a 4X game in 48 hours!! You realize that to beat this, you're going to have to do an MMORPG next time, right? Very very impressive. I love these games (Civ 2 was my second video game after Great Green Mouse Disaster ;) ) and I think you've captured what makes them such fun really well. Of course there are lots of features you could add (if you had another year or so to work on it) but getting a fully working 4X with cities, units, tech trees and combat going in 48 hours is truly staggering. When you recover conciousness after this monumental effort, give yourself a pat on the back from me!
Impressive achievement! I actually loved the graphics as well, felt like playing Civ with my old Sensible Soccer team
This is amazing for such a small time frame. Took me awhile to figure out what I was doing but the readme helped a ton.
Thanks for the positive feedback guys :D
Anyway I shall not be working on this entry much, for I'll instead be making a proper, interesting 4X game sometime.
I've been experimenting recently with terrain generation over the past 2 days and I believe I have gotten what I wanted, so I might make 1 more update to this soon with randomly generated maps (and any bugfixes) and leave it at that (obviously though, for rating it, the original release is what you're going to have to judge).
I am really impressed you made a Civilization style game in such a shot period of time. Just like Civ the game starts off slow, and I had a hard time figuring out the controls.
Wow, impressive stuff. I love turn-based games, this is much better than the one I made. Classic gameplay, minimal but effective graphics. Very ambitious, could do with a little more feedback when research has been completed but other than that great work.
I have a problem with the fog tiles - they have a one pixel border that allow me to se the terrain through them, but this is the only drawback I found in this game. As the guy who grow up on civilisation (civ 2 - my first game, I remember as it was yesterday...) I have no option but to give You 5 stars :D
CONSTRICT HORDE XD. Bashed 20 of em out and swamped my island. Did some building, got all of the techs.
A fantastic effort considering the time, I was blown away by how much you had done. The only thing that was not fantastic was the right click menus, but then what can you expect given all the time making the game? A*.
wow -- really cool entry -- gonna play the fixed version now -- graphics were great but the audio was lacking -- probably due to time so i did not ding you too much for that
Well, great strategy game! Very big but fantastic work for 48 hours! Good luck! You have a great potential!
Civilization I was my first PC game, and it's still the best.
You have done amazing job, to make this in 48 hours. It's really nice game. I spend half and our to research all technologies and explore the map. It's pretty unusual to use mouse but anyway, in first civil you was able to control everything with keyboard, not all the computers had mouse at that time. ^^
Awesome.
Awesome entry in 48h. Great job !
Really amazed to see how a complicated game like this can be finished in 24 hours.
Wow cool game bro, i like strategy games and this one is awesome :D
It's not very compelling at this point due to the weak enemy AI and the lack of a goal/win condition, but the amount of features and options you managed to include is impressive.
