Innovation: we've seen some similar game mechanices before already, but to be honest, I enjoy it better than moving silly swarm of viruses...still just 4/5, though.
Fun: seems that never can be boring. Maybe after 3 walkthroughs in a row - 2 wasn't much for me. ;)
Theme: turn-based game for the "10 seconds" rule...wow, man. Just wow.
Graphics: minimal-style, but perfect for this game. Also, this is the way of minimaldesign where I don't feel that I should give -1 because of simplicity, it fits so perfectly here! Still just 4/5, though. Titlescreen is cool by the way.
Audio: titlescreen sounds (music?) should be played ingame.
Humor: titlescreen sounds (music?) made me laugh.
Mood: BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGE!
Titlescreen music is great! 5 minutes and 2 wrong tries to understand how to play... And then I won 2 times.
AI may be way better. Hint for good strategy (it may by simply implemented if you have enough of programming skill): move all your people to borders of country and spread them almost evenly between provinces for defence. Then accumulate all new people in some inner province. When you will have enough of people, attack some neighbour country and quickly move accumulated people into the province from which you removed people for attack. Repeat for win.
But really, I want a multiplayer version.
err, yeah. This was cool.
It would be nice if one could divide an army. On the other hand not being able to divide an army makes the game more challenging... Not quite sure how I stand on this... :D
I really like the music in the intro screen. :D
One thing though- It would have been nice if the battles gets gradually faster if one of the armies have the advantage. Right now I'm waiting on the last Marvel country to count down from roughy 280, which means close to just 5 minutes of waiting. (I have around 700 units there myself).
Apart from that - This was an awesome game! Good job.
