I really liked this game! I loved the hand drawn graphics, I think they worked really well. I thought the idea of trying to figure out which town had the most money was a clever way to make the mechanic into a game. It might have been slightly better if there were more towns so that it was harder to figure out. Overall, though, I liked it a lot!
I really enjoyed the concept. It adds another dimension to the equation of deciding which towns to raid. It was a little difficult at the beginning because I didn't see all the game stats at first and didn't know whether I was doing it right. I found the numbers a little too small to be easily readable, especially with the hand-drawn style.
Keen! I like the dragon design.
A really nice submission. The art is probably my favorite part of it. The mechanics are interesting however I do think you could have added more things to do while waiting to plunder towns.
@dooda right I had a whole bunch of ideas like you could also plunder caravans and that would change how likely they are to take this route next time, and that they can start a war instead of just trading with each other and then you could play your part in that as well and so on... However I had time to implement only one basic mechanic :)
Interesting submission, I really liked the concept but I thought the text of the currency values and rates was a bit unreadable, I had to zoom in and it was a bit better. Kept playing for a while! I really liked the hand drawn graphics of this game. It felt unique 👍
Really wish the X and Cross towns weren't such lazy bums. Their economy gets stuck at 0 and I cant live. It's a fun idea, it's just a bit hard to understand what you can do to make sure your hoard stays afloat. (Big fan of the narrative you created for this, I wish there was a category where I could give you 5 stars for it)
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

The art style of this game is very nice. I had always wondered if it would be possible to do a hand-drawn game for a game jam. I lasted 195 years. I never really understood how the currency system worked, but it was fun clicking on the towns and seeing the dragon attack them.
Reading the description I see that the mechanics is well thought original and interesting. But it was hard, in terms of visual feedback, to get all the information during gameplay. I loved the hand drawn art (numbers included!). Very good idea!
I love the hand-drawn artstyle. The gameplay idea is okay, but the info on the screen is not super clear what it all means. Overall a fine LD game.
Ha-ha, I really like this hand-drawn style :) As if your sketch for the game came to life. The process itself is a bit too simple, but I'll definitely remember this game.
Very cool game! Really appreciate some hand-drawn art due to there not really being that much of it anymore. Lasted 258 years. Well done!
