Fun game, and a little on the easy side. I could spam enough at the beginning to win rather instantly. What I would have loved is a timer that shows how long it took me to finish it, at least to compare to others to played it~

A timer was in the plans but I got stuck with some other issue that took up most of my Sunday. I will for sure be adding a timer in the future!

Thanks for playing! :)

This was fun, and I like the simple graphic style. I felt the time it took for my troops to spawn was just a tad too long, but not too bad!

Happy you liked it and I agree, the training time for some of the troops takes too long. Thanks!

This was a lot of fun. the art & animations were great & I really liked the sound effects. It felt really satisfying sending out your little army to take down those right castle scum! Great work!

Simple, elegant, and well put together. Could, maybe, have been a bit more challenging, but whose complaining about not winning a battle??? ATTAAACK! Let none survive!

@gamesplusjames Thanks so much man! Happy you enjoyed it!

@lillybyte Hey thanks! Yeah, didnt nearly have enough time to make a super smart AI but it's nice to feel powerful.

Cool! Music and art were great. The game reminds me a lot of Age of War which was one of my favorite browser games when I was a kid! Would have loved to have a health bar on the units and a timer or bar for units being trained. Also, the game was a bit easy to complete (but that was probably just because I'm so good! :3). Instead of making a complicated AI, maybe you could have had 2 difficulty settings and just made the AI "cheat" on hard difficulty by reducing their HP costs. Well, anyway, good job! :)

Victory is mine!

A few good brutes and an army of archers, and I walked all over them! Nice work, good variation of a tower defense style I used to play.

Cool game! With a bit of polish and balancing it's pretty much perfect!

@luckyfeathers Hey thanks man! Happy you enjoyed it! I would have loved to add those features too! The cheating AI aint a bad idea. :)

@xeke-death Thanks! It reminds me of a game i used to play on newgrounds.

@tjakka5 Whoa! That's super mighty nice of you to say for the feedback! Happy you enjoyed it.

It feels a lot like Age of War and I wish that you had done more with the theme. Since the warriors overlap, you can't see how many there are really on the battlefield.

Nice graphics and music, but the game play felt a little too slow and easy. The rules section was rather confusing and the rule on training made me believe that you could upgrade your units to be faster / more powerful, which could be a nice addition for any future updates.

I felt the need to scroll through the level was unnecessary as you could quite easily fit the entire level on the screen.

One idea for furthering gameplay is that you and your enemy could setup a barracks along the route to a castle as a way for punishing the other player playing badly.
