Why only 5 levels? Give me more Tiles, or better yet, an editor, so i can make my own! A big company should buy the game and make it big. Get a home town, batle a country (like risk). Get castles at your hometown and train higher levels. The game has got it - its easy to understand and a lot of fun. GIMME MORE :P. I like this game, however it could be a lot bigger.

The game does get more tactically interesting as you play. Enemies ambush you from behind. The enemy start coming at you in much more dense and interesting formations. Alot of the appeal is trying to decide what troop types to bribe. Its a pity the first level is so easy because this game is really only going to appeal to hardcore turn based gamers who want a challenge. When the game finished I still wanted more, so thats a pretty high recommendation. Tony I completed this game a couple of months ago. The game does get more tactically interesting as you play.

Then it just became a case of advancing everyone to the right each turn. Does the full game force you to try interesting tactics somehow?

It seems great as far as it goes, and the turns interact with time in a way I don't think I've seen. I don't think the demo would have quite sold it to me, though - you just keep going, fighting the same six enemies, until it cuts off. Other sources and reviews say there are more interesting enemy types waiting, and more importantly big multi-tile bosses. For that, I'm planning on taking a spin.

This has made it to the top of my list now (i.e. I'll download it tonight and probably buy it 20 mins later). Agreed, there ain’t enough turn-based strat. these days so I’ll take eveythin I can get.
