This game is outstanding!\r\rInnovation: we've seen some similar game mechanices before already, but to be honest, I enjoy it better than moving silly swarm of viruses...still just 4\/5, though.\r\t\rFun: seems that never can be boring. Maybe after 3 walkthroughs in a row - 2 wasn't much for me. ;)\r\t\rTheme: turn-based game for the "10 seconds" rule...wow, man. Just wow.\r\t\rGraphics: minimal-style, but perfect for this game. Also, this is the way of minimaldesign where I don't feel that I should give -1 because of simplicity, it fits so perfectly here! Still just 4\/5, though. Titlescreen is cool by the way.\r\t\rAudio: titlescreen sounds (music?) should be played ingame.\r\rHumor: titlescreen sounds (music?) made me laugh.\r\t\rMood: BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGE!"},{"author_name":"optimality","author_uid":"20946","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 9:48pm","epoch":1377553380,"text":"Fun, and love the "Lefteros" pun :)."},{"author_name":"Anoarith","author_uid":"24843","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 9:48pm","epoch":1377553380,"text":"Loved your game, especially the intro ahah ><"},{"author_name":"panurge","author_uid":"21166","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 9:51pm","epoch":1377553560,"text":"I really liked this.

And then I won 2 times.\r\rAI may be way better. Hint for good strategy (it may by simply implemented if you have enough of programming skill): move all your people to borders of country and spread them almost evenly between provinces for defence. Then accumulate all new people in some inner province. When you will have enough of people, attack some neighbour country and quickly move accumulated people into the province from which you removed people for attack. Repeat for win."},{"author_name":"senseidav","author_uid":"27510","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:23pm","epoch":1377555480,"text":"In windows xp sp3 it doesn´t work.. any clue?"},{"author_name":"rpmoura","author_uid":"27239","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:30pm","epoch":1377555900,"text":"Senseidav, I think this release isn't compatible with Windows XP...

This is easily the best game mechanically that I have played so far. It's like if somebody strapped a turbocharger to Risk. I want a competitive version of this. Make that. PLEASE make that. For tablets. So that people keep trying to click on the same province and drive themselves nuts. That would be terrible and awesome.\r\rBut really, I want a multiplayer version."},{"author_name":"Wertle","author_uid":"22452","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 3:30am","epoch":1377573900,"text":"I love the idea of the base mechanic and think it could be really fun with some iteration on the actual interaction. Like, I kept getting mixed up on if I was right clicking or left clicking, but if it were a drag interface I think it would feel more natural and more tactile and gratifying to move the troops around. Something to keep in mind if you decide to keep working on this.

I really liked it. Simple, yet strategic enough to be challenging.\rOne thing though- It would have been nice if the battles gets gradually faster if one of the armies have the advantage. Right now I'm waiting on the last Marvel country to count down from roughy 280, which means close to just 5 minutes of waiting.
