Google drives took a while to put all of the files together into one zip before downloading it. Google drives also didn't make it obvious as to how to download your game files. I would recommend hosting the game on itch.io, as it makes the download process at least four times easier. Then, once it did install, the .exe didn't work. There was a fatal error, as the game was unable to read mono. Honestly, just host it on itch and reexport the game, it will make it much easier for others to play. \n\nUnfortunately, because of the mono problem, I was unable to play.

I feel like if I had just a couple more hours I could have made it so much better. I would have added more things, made it so that options disappear if the related empire have already united with yours and made it a bit more difficult.
