I'm not sure why, but the Linux version is buggy. In the first level, one civilian is missing, but the counter requires me to convert one more.

(Well, except for the music.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I don't have anything explicitly negative to say about this. It's quite a complete package as it is. There's a clear level progression, variety between the different types of people and what they're converted by, then things like using your converts to spread propaganda, and how even that is subverted by enemies that deconvert your allies. All of this for the benefit of the political sub-theme."},{"author_name":"JArcane","author_uid":"51484","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 7:16pm","epoch":1430075460,"text":"Quite brilliant.
