Then this is a game for you... A real-time strategy game - all on one screen.\r\n\r\n\r\nINSTRUCTIONS:\r\nBuild up your town, train military units and destroy the evil Ork base.\r\n\r\n\r\nHINTS:\r\n- You can create laborers in the town center.\r\n- You need to assign laborers to buildings for them to produce resources.\r\n- The number of unassigned laborers is displayed next to the hammer symbol.\r\n- Buildings will be built by unassigned laborers, so keep some laborers unassigned.\r\n- You don't need resources to place buildings. The buildings will be built once you have enough resources.\r\n- Click on your town center to see how many resources you have.\r\n- Only military units can be controlled directly.\r\n- Hold the left mouse button and drag to select military units.\r\n- Iron mines can only be built on iron ore rocks.\r\n\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT - WHY YOU CAN'T RATE GRAPHICS:\r\nI wasn't able to finish all graphics before the Jam deadline, but I needed to make them so that the player could understand what's going on. That's why the graphics for some houses and all units were made after the Jam deadline.","title":"A Very Short Age of Very Small Empires"}
