The linux library seems to be missing, just add in the the jar file and it should be working

Great first game mate :) It's a bit unbalanced, though. I can't get to the point where I feel comfortable attacking a village because i have to few minions. And if I let them "reproduce" they need to much food. That's when I go for pillaging but that leads to losing the minions I just got. Best thing about this: the random events. They are hilarious! My favorite so far is the one where a minion falls off a wall and they use his dead body to make MinionFood(TM)

Very nice game

Randome events were awesome. :) The game in general is good but needed a little more polish here and there, I guess. But considering the time schedule and this being your first entry, I can say it's a very good end product. :)

I love this one! I was laughing out loud in the lab while playing and the special events appeared. Loved the ones that kill themselves to praise me or the ones who find worms in their noses! Despite finishing and getting nice favours in the dungeons, I must say game is a little bit unfair and frustrating, because in one attack may 3 minions die and the last one is striked by two lightnings! hehehe I know life is hard and then you die, but after 10 minutes of attackin, pillaging and reproducing, godmammit when that happens... I really enjoyed your game! :D

Nice style and game idea, although I think that you should better explain the food constraint at the start of the game, since I didn't get it and I reached a point with -25 food without knowing about it and losing the game for it.

If I try and click on the game to run it it doesn't work. I get an error when trying to play the game from command line.

ERROR:Pixel format not accelerated causing a LWJGLException.

I'll try running it again later on a different computer.

Thanks for the laughs, great first game!

Is there any winning condition? Cause I brought all the villages down to 0 points and nothing happened. Could also use some sound effects when displaying messages. Other than that, quite cool.

It cost me a little to realize what was the gameplay, but once you get it it is great fun!

Hilarious. Loved it!!

Nice concept, quite liked it :)

However battle report could have been a bit better than some text.

Was kinda enjoyable, but had to quit due to the annoyance of having one city left with 22 defense...

Very good game, the music gets a little repetitive but other than that I enjoyed it.

markavian 2012-12-19 22:04

Goddamnrandomeventskillingoffmylastminions... was fun :D

Found it really hard to generate minions and balance the pillaging, but I think I worked out a strategy, so I guess that makes it challenging and balanced :D Felt like I was relying on the random encounters a bit much, but they made the game all the more fun.

Quite well balanced, just needs some more strategical options. I like the random text and happenings. The graphics and audio could be better but not all that horrible. Well done on finishing a complete game!

markengley 2012-12-19 22:29

Good work! I especially liked the flavour text :)

Simple concept but interesting gameplay. Maybe a bit too random. Cool music.
