Very advanced Gameplay and with !AI!, great game. Please make more level's, I love this genre. :D

It starts slow, but then it's a rush (I mean I got rushed, not sure if it's always like that). Will try again tomorrow.

Music is a bit harsh, too fast for the game's own rythm.

It's a bit hard to get to know how do things work, so I only got to know some of the mistakes I made midway through the game. But then again, not necessarily bad design, might be just me.

It's amazing you got to code an AI to play with (and it does seem to know what it's doing, too), good job!

This feels like a game that deserves quite a while to get to know.

This is a really well balanced game that's just deep enough to quickly get into. The graphics fit really well but I wish I could tell friendlies from enemies better. The music sounded good and wasn't repetitive. Needs 2 player mode in postcompo.

Well this was a pleasant surprise!

Awesome, how far you got with this game!
I love watching the AI make its moves. It feels almost like there's a second player who's playing the game against with you. Cool!

Some remarks:
I just accidentally finished the round... by clicking while the menu was open. The menu seems to be controllable only with keyboard keys, so that was confusing.
This would be great in a hotseat multiplayer version as well.

Professional presentation. Graphics in particular were well-done, and having a decent AI is impressive. It would have been nice to get to know the game in stages rather than being thrown in head-first, but it's hard to have time for a tutorial in a game jam.

I can't run game on linux with love installed. Here is error message:

Error: main.lua:34: attempt to index field 'window' (a nil value)

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments so far! We found a couple of esoteric bugs, we're working on a patch.

@Night :
It seems that you are running an old version of löve. This line calls the window module which was added in 0.9.0, I'm guessing you have 0.8.x installed? If you're on Arch the latest version is in the arch repos, for Ubuntu and friends you can use Bart's ppa at:

https://launchpad.net/~bartbes/+archive/ubuntu/love-stable

Or else grab it from https://love2d.org

Great take on a turn based Advanced-War-Esque game. Good job!
