Defend the island from the invaders in longboats!

Select a structure, and hit the B key to spawn a unit.

Each unit costs a specific amount of resources.

Collect resources with villagers, and fight off foes with militia.

TIPS:

Start off by buying all the villagers you can with the starting resources, and then target getting rock and wood to make as many villagers as you can. Keep doing this until you're struggling with your militia, and need to create more.

Keeping a single militia near each boat point so that dropped off enemy militia don't attack your villagers.

Certain resources can get crowded, and villagers will spend a lot of time trying to get a space around the resource, rather than actually collecting the resource. It is advised to move villagers away from these overcrowded resources onto other nearby resources.

WOW. Nice java work for a 48 hour game!

Very good for the time give, only wish you had added a little more variation

The .zip file doesn't count was a Web application, hehe. ;)

Very ambitious for a 48h compo! Works quite nicely, though those darn enemies just ignored my soldiers while killing my poor peasants!

Impressive for 48 hours! Selecting more than one enemy would've been nice (although you can select more than one if they overlap).
Needs sounds!

Wasn't sure which file was the game at first.
It's rather awkward to play. Units appear to be idle when they are gathering resources and attacking. Selection of units is limited to point and click, no way to select multiple units unless they are on top of each other in which case you probably only want to select one of them anyways.

very nice RTS for 48 hours
I left "fun" n/a, because I'm not really the best to judge "fun" of an RTS (I don't like them). =p I like what you accomplished though. The graphics were ok, though it was tough to see what was going on in the battles. Multi-select would have been nice. Good job overall.

The game is fairly difficult. I like the starcraft like feel it has with a different type of play.
