I'm not good or big on RTS, but this is actually super cute (I still suck). Love the sketched looking art and the bouncyness.

Love the art, and satisfying territory control gameplay. It would have been nice to have some way to move all troops in a territory with one drag though for after the initial expansion phase.

I reeeeally enjoyed this. It was simple and elegant, just really slick. My one issue was kind of that once a castle is built, it seemed really hard to take it back... seemed like the map got static pretty quick with emplaced strong positions. But still, very very nice work :)

The art is brilliant, really loved it and impressed you attempted a RTS in the time. Was able to build a few castles but the pink guys are just to quick for me. Fun to watch the little guys moving around though, a great entry.

Your visual style is superb! The papercut-doodle is really charming.
Also the addition of castle building to this classic mechanic is a good addition! Good job overall! Would love to see some evolution of this game

wow very nicely done - altho some more balance would be great - destroying an opponent castle is tuff - play again

Very polished! Was a lot of fun to play. Great use of Voronoi! But whats a bit frustrating is when all cells are taken by someone its pretty over. And with (bad) look you can get initial positions that puts one of the players in an advantage.
I dont see how you can improve other than decreasing the defense of fortitudes. Or what would be much more fun: Three parties and a little bit increased grid resolution to make room for the third party. Would love to play that in an additional game mode!
Great Game!

Awesome game! Mechanics are familiar, but the execution unexpectedly pleasant. I didn't calm down until she won several times. :P
