It was really satisfying to spawn a bunch of fighters and watch them take down the enemy.  I think the base is really solid, and adding more spawnable types, sound effects, and music can quickly take things up a notch.

I thought Hell ranged units were really underpowered but then I found out they need to be tactically played with the melee units in order of them to work.
