Unfortunately I don't understand the language. But it seems nice!

I liked the graphics, interesting choice :)

Seems cool, but even when english is selected the game is hard to decipher. I could not tell what was going on when I got into the game either.

I had fun playing this game :)
(nice to see Czechs around here)

Played it through, can you go beyond levels 1 - 3? Once you get the hang of how the game works the levels are not very hard. Queueing farmers would be nice. Overall nice entry.

Good use of theme and hypnotising music :) The gameplay could be tweaked a little bit.

Not bad, though the mechanics are a little confusing at first. Once you get the hang of it, it seems pretty easy to win; the enemy's AI seems to do the same thing every time.

nevěděl jsem že tolik čechů je na LD :)

Game is little confusing at first. I think the center square should be colored or something. And the web frame isnt big enough for game. I like the graphics, they remind me of games that were circling around early 2000s.
And the music is pretty enjoyable and sets the mood.

Those farmers are saying wololo? :)

i was confused. but the little dudes are cool lookin and the music is funky :]]]

It took me a minute to figure out how to play the game, but I'm not sure if I won or lost in the end.
Why can I only click one hat in level one?
Keep up the good work!
Cheers.

Hello Huo-cuo! I was trying to play your game but unfortunately it don't work under Linux, I tried to run it even under Wine with no luck :( But anyway the graphic looks very nice so I will rate this aspect of the game :)

Hi everyone, thanks for the feedback. We really appreciate it, because we know that our game is not perfect. We did not take care about the UI for the last moment and then there was no time for it to be done properly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'll try to answer some really good questions from this thread:
Nilq's sigh: I don't understand the language. - You can change the language to English in the main menu on the first screen of the game.

2Bit's question: Can you go beyond levels 1 - 3? - Unfortunately not, I was able to prepare only two more levels just minutes before deadline.

BabaJagas's good point: The center square should be colored or something. - Yes, it should. It could not be emphasized more then the CENTER square is the most important one in the game.

MrRoboman's question: Why can I only click one hat in level one? - You can click the diplomat's hat and soldier's hat when you have a farmer selected only.

BabaJagas's question: Those farmers are saying wololo? - Yes, that is the right word :)

kivano, I've just added a Linux build, but I cannot check if it works though. Thanks anyone who could give it a try and leave a comment.

kivano 2015-04-22 08:57

Huo-cuo: Thanks for linux build, it runs well! Nice little game you guys made, The first thing that I liked is 3d elements in main menu :) Also nice idea to show that diplomacy is stronger than brute power. I found couple bugs: When I choose English in main menu it looks that it sometimes reset back to Czech. Another one (I think it's a bug?) Is that I can send farmer to enemy farm and it works like diplomat (it seems to me). As I said earlier I like the graphic, now I can also add that sounds are nice too :)

Great little RTS. Really good to see people doing ambitious stuff in Ludem Dare. I enjoyed your art and your presentation was really nice.

I would add a tutorial level for sure, because I had a really hard time figuring out what was going on

arcturusdeluxe 2015-04-23 19:58

Nice game! You don't see too many strategy type games for Ludum Dare. I like the cartoony 3D people. Might have been good to add a tutorial or just generally explain the mechanics a bit better. Overall good stuff!

kate-kligman 2015-04-25 04:33

I liked the graphics and animations. Good mood and zippy music!

vilcans 2015-04-26 20:19

I didn't understand what I was doing, but I guess I won. The three different character types didn't seem to make any difference. They just built a new house or conquered an existing one. By reading the comments here I now understand that the square in the middle is important somehow. It seems you had more ideas for gameplay than you had time to implement. (Who doesn't have that problem?)

daredevildave 2015-04-29 07:31

I couldn't really figure out what was going on, sorry :-( Everything was smoothly done. Perhaps it was the language.

mrodrigues 2015-05-01 07:18

I didn't get the purpose of the diplomats, and I don't speak czech, so I was really lost. I guess I won, but I really couldn't tell, hahaha! The idea looks good, though!

igoramendola 2015-05-01 17:48

Took me a while to understand exactly how to play, but then I got it hehe. It has a different and interesting interpretation of the use of the theme, and the audios are cool.

lucatode 2015-05-08 13:01

Quite tricky to play! but fun after some try! =)

The Windows download link seems broken.
