The concept is great, and I loved seeing my little population grow. A couple of small things made it a bit tricky at times: the camera movement felt a bit slow, and when the game pans to each piece at the end of a turn, it takes a while once you have a bigger population (I had around 10 pieces). I also wasn\u2019t able to build a Royal Academy, which might just be a small issue.\n\nOverall, this was a really creative and enjoyable entry. With a few tweaks to the pacing and camera, it would feel even smoother to play.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1175459,"author_name":"Nilan","author_uid":"nilan","epoch":1759990771,"text":"@anaconda-games You're right, I don't know why the camera movement speed is always strange.
