I think the medals are not working. I played a game and even though Im not sure if I won or lost I didnt get a medal for either.

I made this for the Global Game Jam last month, and finally got around to putting some polish on it and sending it on its way.
Boy, if you thought Ninja Fridges were aggravating, you haven't played this game!
Capture territory to kill the blues and win the game! Click the red territory to place your people.
For best results, play on the toilet.

Soooooo i figured out that this is kinda like Chess. Except you have ABSOLUTELY no idea which pieces can move which way or which pieces can take which other pieces.
PLAY ON THE TOILET IS CORRECT, CAUSE THAT WAY IT'S EASIER TO FLUSH THIS DAMN CRAP!
I do not get this game
Like something is not right here.
This is an interesting concept, but as many people have already said, the unpredictable AI made for some very frustrating gameplay. At times, the people on my side would roam around in the red area they had already captured for a few minutes while the other side spawned ten people and I was left with two (somehow I managed to turn the tables and win that round), and at other times, my people killed the other side in under thirty seconds. Also, after clenching my teeth and struggling through six brutal rounds, I still did not get the "Electric King" medal, so I assume that this medal is broken. If you get around to addressing it, I would gladly force myself to fight the good fight against the blue army once more, as I am a sucker for medals. Guess I'll go back to the ninja fridges for now.

Sorry, you didn't get the medal! I gave up before I got it... I'll take a look at it now though, and see if bugs need to be squashed!
This game is pure randomness that tries to be a strategy game. It actually looks like a strategy game at first since controlling more area gives you more units faster but in reality the benefit you get from placing your soldiers to strategic locations is neglible. The only thing that really determines if you beat the computer or not is how often the random number generator allows you to kill an enemy soldier rather than getting killed yourself. If in any balanced situation one side scores multiple kills in a row and opponent is not lucky enough to respond in kind quicky enough then the first one soon controls most of the battlefield and has a massive lead in unit production. This is how nearly every game comes to end. With a lucky kill treak.
I tested how much I could affect the outcome by playing 20 games so that I always placed the troops in same square(or close to it if it was captured) and 20 games by placing them to locations where they had good a chance to capture some blue territory. The one square strategy scored 2 more victories than the strategic one showing clearly that player's choices matter very little.
On top of all the "Electric King"-medal does not work(I reached the requirement twice). I see that one person has it so perhaps unlocking some other medal prevents it from being obtained?
DBuck-Eye responds:
This review is about 2.5 more paragraphs of detailed explanation than this game deserves, so thanks for summarizing! I have come to pretty much agree with this, I think the game needs a bit of a shift away from the "random" side and more to the "my strategy makes a damn difference" side. I'll take a look at the medal not working issue, because you deserve better than that.
