Age of Antpires by Dezzles

[raw]
made by Dezzles for LD23 (JAM)
A little game that I threw together. Basically trying to take control of the map by building roads and workers.

Unfortunately I didn't get time to make completely (or even vaguely) intelligent AI, or setting up the victory conditions.

Some instructions would be very useful. I'm lost.

Looks kind of neat, I would have liked to see "Catan with ants" but I clicked around and couldn't really figure out what was going on.

Might have been a cool game if I knew how to play it. Is the dragon game button meant to do something?

Sorry about the lack of information... As for the freezing problem I think I screwed something up in the AI that's getting it stuck in a loop.

Working on some instructions and will post them shortly

It indeed freezes on the second turn for me as well, but it looks like a retro version of catan, and I like that. Loved your take on the theme. Hope you make a post-compo version with the bugs fixed and a proper AI. And instructions! : )

Fun concept. Like settlers of catan with more tiles. It froze for me as well. I had to experiment to figure out what the different resources do and what each thing costs. With some instructions, balance, and fixed AI, this would be a fun game to play and master.

I can't play your game because I don't have Windows. Perhaps another member of my team will find and rate your game.

I could not figure out how to play this. Some instructions would have been helpful.

No instructions and couldn't seem to get past second turn.

Just have a key indicating what those icons meant would have helped... I was rather confused.
