Summary: As ruler of this valley settlement you must build up your city, manage resources, and fend off pesky barbarians in this city management tower defense game.

Buildings: Buildings have an initial cost, upkeep, and output. Buildings need people to work and people need food to live and houses to live in. Most money is made through the market by selling goods. If there are no goods available, the market will not make money.

- Provides a place for the population to live.
- Farm
- Provides the population with food to eat.
- Wood Cutter
- Produces lumber for various buildings and goods
- Mine
- Produces ore and a small amount of gold that can be used to purchase more expensive buildings
- Barrel Maker
- Uses wood to produce barrels that can be sold at the market for gold

This was a really cool game! I wish you had more ratings! I liked the mechanics of balancing each resource and defending my village. It was a bit annoying that the ranged guys just shot over my walls but it was overall very fun. I did not get how it worked with the theme but I liked the overall game and thought it was fun. Well done!

Well done! The balancing is not to bad, you have to move rather quickly and efficiently to stay ahead of the curve though. You could do a lot more balancing. I'm a huge fan of RTS game's wish there were more original one's. My biggest issue with the game is there is no indication of how it incorporates the theme.

Really impressive how you were able to build out the systems in the game! It feels like I can survive if I build out the town well enough. The learning curve takes a bit, but after understanding which building is which resource it was much easier to figure out what was going on. Keep up the good work!

It's a really good game ! The system works pretty well and it's really fun to play. But, I'm agree with other comments. Building and tower defense are not very incompatible (or maybe I didn't understand how the theme is incorporate). The mechanics are well balanced. So well done ! :)
