This game had a lot of depth, and I played for a while! Good job.

Note that restarting the game seems to be broken? Time doesn't advance.

Great game, I wish I could destroy the enemies' bases.

By the way, I noticed this game hasn't many ratings yet, make sure that you review other games in order to receive reviews back, that's how Ludum Dare's balance works.

simple but fun. wish could obliterate enemy base. wish could attack that ship.

I like your concept! and the implementation thereof. Too bad that you didn't get to add audio, i think it would have made quite a difference in the imersiveness of the game. Your game made me want to play again and again :)

Cool idea, nice and simple Galcon-y city management. I had a hard time understanding what was going on... wish there was a way to pause or something so I could try to understand.

Pretty steep learning curve, but I like how you incorporated the theme into a light strategy game.

Bit confusing at the start but it's a nice game!

Overall enjoyed the game, found it extremely easy, I lost a couple times from not paying any attention at all to piety. I'm not 100% the benefit I was getting from attacking the enemy places but it quickly happened that there just didn't seem to be a challenge at all. I think the art worked well for what you had to do; but was overwhelmed by the choices at my disposal.

Neat little game. Lost a bit but figured out how to survive. Couldn't figure out how to win! I had 1000's of troops going everywhere and taking prisoners. Even tackling the boat from time to time, but no apparent way to win. :D

Interesting idea but not too sure on the execution of it.the game looks confusing and I'd rather that you used a font different from the standard unity font.

Same as commanderstitch, I couldn't figure out how to win... Also it would be good to see from which state a group of warriors is.

Yeah I think this is an endless game. What i missed most is the ability to build more units at once with a binding like shift click or similar. A solid compo entry nonetheless.
