I was really confused for most of the time. The HUD could be organized better and its unclear what exactly a lot of the different elements do. I think I sorta figured it out by the end of it. I wound up winning after a few tries by rushing the enemy base as soon as I could. What was really confusing was how all of the soldiers were gray. I would recommend color coding the soldiers depending of who owns them so it's clear what's going on. That being said, this is an interesting game to be sure. It's a bit unintuitive as it is right now, but it could be refined into something really enjoyable.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Geckoo1337","author_uid":"1000409","time":"2017-05-04T20:51:27Z","epoch":1493931087,"modified":1493931087,"text":"You rated my project - thank you.

I am planning to spend more time on it later after rating more games.\n\nIt took me a while to understand what was going on, but after a few tries playing with the priorities I understood how to defend and take towns. Unfortunately I had trouble distributing troops around: they seemed to like certain towns very much and at the same time remained completely indifferent to other towns with the same priority.\n\nThe issue that bothered me most was the distinction between my soldiers and the enemy soldier. I sometimes didn't understand who was this massive group moving around, so I didn't know if it was reinforcement or an attack.\n\nBasically an interesting idea, quite ambitious, and I enjoyed playing. I'll probably get back to the game later to try again.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rother Games","author_uid":"1000653","time":"2017-05-09T14:14:09Z","epoch":1494339249,"modified":1494339290,"text":"Sometimes I don't know what to do while waiting for new population.
