I found wood to be the limiting factor quite often (only way to rebalance I found were the regular sword and shield, which required only one / zero wood)
I had a lot of fun playing though, and I definitely like the way you were going with this game. The audio selection was also right on point.
Great work!
Breakdown:
Innovation: I've already seen every piece of this game before, but not in this combination. Really smart!
Fun: There's some depth here, definitely had a lot of fun playing. Very well-designed LD game. Great difficulty curve, easy to understand, even some room for mastery.
Theme: More medieval than ancient, but if there were ratings I'd let that slide and give you 5 points.
Graphics: Not mindblowing but not shoddy either. Never had an issue telling different units or crafting ingredients apart. Half-baked but efficient.
Audio: Not that bad. Never got in the way, and helped build the mood.
Mood: Really good, actually felt immersed like I would in the classics with a similar theme such as Age of Empires.
