Mmh ... i didn't know what to do the whole time :D ... I somehow spent my resources. Later the food counter stopped and froze for 2 Minutes, after which it started to increase again. Some time later the bot (well i guess it was the bot as i lost to him) conquered all the cities.

Still i'm puzzled on how to play the game exactly to win ... or to achieve something in general :D

The concept of pausing the game while still being able to issue commands is nice though. Creates a feeling of an oldschool strategy game.

This game is pretty ambitious. I was really confused for most of the time. The HUD could be organized better and its unclear what exactly a lot of the different elements do. I think I sorta figured it out by the end of it. I wound up winning after a few tries by rushing the enemy base as soon as I could. What was really confusing was how all of the soldiers were gray. I would recommend color coding the soldiers depending of who owns them so it's clear what's going on. That being said, this is an interesting game to be sure. It's a bit unintuitive as it is right now, but it could be refined into something really enjoyable.

You rated my project - thank you. Then I would like to rate yours. I downloaded the package, but for an unknow reason, it does not work. I have a white screen - and nothing else. I am under Window 10 64bits. I am sorry ++

@geckoo1337 I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe an antivirus program is trying to scan it? Maybe if you wait a few seconds it will work.

Very interesting game. I am planning to spend more time on it later after rating more games.

It took me a while to understand what was going on, but after a few tries playing with the priorities I understood how to defend and take towns. Unfortunately I had trouble distributing troops around: they seemed to like certain towns very much and at the same time remained completely indifferent to other towns with the same priority.

The issue that bothered me most was the distinction between my soldiers and the enemy soldier. I sometimes didn't understand who was this massive group moving around, so I didn't know if it was reinforcement or an attack.

Basically an interesting idea, quite ambitious, and I enjoyed playing. I'll probably get back to the game later to try again.

Sometimes I don't know what to do while waiting for new population. It is also really hard to get the soliders where I want them (I would be much better, if you just select the city and then select the target).

Like @Geckoo1337, I had an white screen. After an minute of waiting nothing happened. So, sorry :/ (Win10 / 64bit too)
