This game had a lot of depth, and I played for a while! Good job.

Note that restarting the game seems to be broken? Time doesn't advance.

Great game, I wish I could destroy the enemies' bases.

By the way, I noticed this game hasn't many ratings yet, make sure that you review other games in order to receive reviews back, that's how Ludum Dare's balance works.

I like your concept! and the implementation thereof. Too bad that you didn't get to add audio, i think it would have made quite a difference in the imersiveness of the game. Your game made me want to play again and again :)

Cool idea, nice and simple Galcon-y city management. I had a hard time understanding what was going on... wish there was a way to pause or something so I could try to understand.

Pretty steep learning curve, but I like how you incorporated the theme into a light strategy game.

Bit confusing at the start but it's a nice game!

Overall enjoyed the game, found it extremely easy, I lost a couple times from not paying any attention at all to piety. I'm not 100% the benefit I was getting from attacking the enemy places but it quickly happened that there just didn't seem to be a challenge at all. I think the art worked well for what you had to do; but was overwhelmed by the choices at my disposal.

Neat little game. Lost a bit but figured out how to survive. Couldn't figure out how to win! I had 1000's of troops going everywhere and taking prisoners. Even tackling the boat from time to time, but no apparent way to win. :D

Interesting idea but not too sure on the execution of it.the game looks confusing and I'd rather that you used a font different from the standard unity font.

Same as commanderstitch, I couldn't figure out how to win... Also it would be good to see from which state a group of warriors is.

Yeah I think this is an endless game. What i missed most is the ability to build more units at once with a binding like shift click or similar. A solid compo entry nonetheless.
