First, there are three of them where other game barely has ambiance sounds. Then, they're sooooo good, I just let the screens play it for minutes, 5\/5 music, congrat's ! \n\nNow regarding the game\n* I was expecting that with our base army (with our base gold amount) we could afford the first castle, instead of that, I just suicided many times and never took one. Maybe the farm is the solution, but I always ended up to trigger a castle; and once out they never go back to their castle haha \n* The orders works fine, but I often forgot which state I was in, maybe an indicator like shield\/sword in the GUI would have been useful :) \n* The graphics OMG ! I lol-ed so hard haha At least the whole game is consistent, this is not a bad point, just something... One can't miss playing the game \n* Just saying too, the binary file is a bit hidden, maybe a shortcut or README could help some to find it; anyway.\n\nEventually, this is a very good entry. Mainly because you didn't use any engine, just the SFML library and you did something great, even awesome ! You should write you techs somewhere so the others know (for the lambda reader, yes we did the LD together haha).\n\nThanks for the fun, I enjoyed the time spent here !

You have some really good game play going on here. I tried to farm the single knights at came from the castles but it seems like I could kill them fast enough or I just wasn't getting enough money to replace the men I was losing. I learned quickly to stay away from the castles unless I wanted to restart the game again :smile:. The music was amazingly good! I'm curious in your play tests if you were able to take a castle?","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld39\/39717-6654c65fe8ac43ece14580e9d78546d1.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/bog.itch.io\/broad-empire","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/bog.itch.io\/broad-empire","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"50770","g_author":"1004031","g_event":"LD39","g_eventkey":"74","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"234146","g_title":"Broad Empire","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"4","g_site2_node_id":"39717","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"39717","n_urlkey":"234146","n_parent":"32802","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/39\/broad-empire","n_slug":"broad-empire","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"4031","n_created":"1501273482","n_modified":"1501469285","n_version":"113642","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":39717,"parent":32802,"superparent":9,"author":4031,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2017-07-31T02:40:05Z","created":"2017-07-28T20:24:42Z","modified":"2017-07-31T02:48:05Z","version":113642,"slug":"broad-empire","name":"Broad Empire","body":"![ld39_cover.png](\/\/\/raw\/fbf\/z\/621b.png)Lead your knights and conquer your empire.
