I can't get to the point where I feel comfortable attacking a village because i have to few minions. And if I let them &quot;reproduce&quot; they need to much food. That's when I go for pillaging but that leads to losing the minions I just got. Best thing about this: the random events. They are hilarious! My favorite so far is the one where a minion falls off a wall and they use his dead body to make MinionFood(TM)"},{"author_name":"jerrre","author_uid":"13020","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:01pm","epoch":1355831760,"text":"Exception in thread &quot;main&quot; java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path\r<br\/>\r<br\/>\r<br\/>On OSX"},{"author_name":"TheCze","author_uid":"17841","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:32pm","epoch":1355833620,"text":"Very nice game"},{"author_name":"arhpositive","author_uid":"11575","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:34pm","epoch":1355833740,"text":"Randome events were awesome. :) The game in general is good but needed a little more polish here and there, I guess.

I was laughing out loud in the lab while playing and the special events appeared. Loved the ones that kill themselves to praise me or the ones who find worms in their noses! Despite finishing and getting nice favours in the dungeons, I must say game is a little bit unfair and frustrating, because in one attack may 3 minions die and the last one is striked by two lightnings! hehehe I know life is hard and then you die, but after 10 minutes of attackin, pillaging and reproducing, godmammit when that happens... I really enjoyed your game! :D"},{"author_name":"MaTX","author_uid":"8087","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:52pm","epoch":1355834820,"text":"Nice style and game idea, although I think that you should better explain the food constraint at the start of the game, since I didn't get it and I reached a point with -25 food without knowing about it and losing the game for it."},{"author_name":"Starspell","author_uid":"1791","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:52pm","epoch":1355834820,"text":"If I try and click on the game to run it it doesn't work.
