I loved the hand drawn graphics, I think they worked really well. I thought the idea of trying to figure out which town had the most money was a clever way to make the mechanic into a game. It might have been slightly better if there were more towns so that it was harder to figure out. Overall, though, I liked it a lot!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jason Porritt","author_uid":1001560,"time":"2019-04-30T16:33:20Z","epoch":1556642000,"modified":1556642000,"text":"I really enjoyed the concept. It adds another dimension to the equation of deciding which towns to raid. It was a little difficult at the beginning because I didn't see all the game stats at first and didn't know whether I was doing it right. I found the numbers a little too small to be easily readable, especially with the hand-drawn style.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"cheesepencil","author_uid":"1143012","time":"2019-04-30T16:35:47Z","epoch":1556642147,"modified":1556642147,"text":"Keen!

The art is probably my favorite part of it. The mechanics are interesting however I do think you could have added more things to do while waiting to plunder towns.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"spidamoo","author_uid":"1122290","time":"2019-04-30T18:40:54Z","epoch":1556649654,"modified":1556649654,"text":"@dooda right I had a whole bunch of ideas like you could also plunder caravans and that would change how likely they are to take this route next time, and that they can start a war instead of just trading with each other and then you could play your part in that as well and so on... However I had time to implement only one basic mechanic :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lazertrax","author_uid":"1018532","time":"2019-04-30T19:43:18Z","epoch":1556653398,"modified":1556653398,"text":"Interesting submission, I really liked the concept but I thought the text of the currency values and rates was a bit unreadable, I had to zoom in and it was a bit better.
