thanks. It's up to you to make sure units are sent around objects including rivers. use ctrl to guide them on the right path.
Good game, needs a few tweaks though.
Overall a really good game.
Just a few points:
I have to agree with the other reviewer about friendly troop AI. If I tell a trooper to move away from combat, they should move away. If I leave them alone, they should go ahead and attack whatever they can.
Selecting troops and trying to buy units is a bit of a pain. Why not tie in purchasing with hotkeys and leave the purchasing window open all the the time (or have the purchasing window appear when you hit the SHIFT key or something)? It might help .
Otherwise a really slick piece of work.
Impressive!!
I really enjoyed playing your game. It was pretty challenging at first but I overcame those obstacles. However, a few things I want to mention. one thing that you could include on this game is a diversion command and a route for my guinea pig soldier to follow so I can lure a portion of the enemy towards an open field where my boys are in the forest. Once I use one suicide pikeman/swordman to lure a portion of the enemy in the open, I'll blast their shit apart with my cannons and archers. Of course, my cavalry and pikeman will be able to support them whenever I give the order.
Another thing that bothers me was that when I want my boys to retreat, some remain and continue to fight against the hordes of enemies that I knew they couldn''t win and yet they still charge which led to their demise and my loss of a good soldier. Please fix that problem, when I order a tactical retreat, I expect ALL soldiers to follow it!!
Few good things I like to mention.
1. First of all, I really appreciate the fact of using different element types such as hills, forests, and (black-holed areas??) in the game where it slows down or speeds the soldiers alot.
2. Overall graphics were pretty good but maybe next time make it a little more detailed.
3. Like the speedX4 thing, lol it's pretty useful when I want to speed the battles and move my men!! Especially the slow cannons!!
All in all, great game! Please tell me when the sequel will come!!!
