Twobuttons Controls by JordanFitz
A game about growing your empire!
You are Twobuttons, a manic looking to control the world. Or at least Europe.
You'll first choose a country to start in. Each turn, you'll have the option to attack another country and/or support one of your own. You can also recruit new units who will add to your total strength, this will be necessary on the first round as you'll start with zero strength. Each unit costs gold to hire and will require food each turn. If you run out of food, your empire will die. You can interview up to five units per turn.
Your chances of winning a battle are based on your enemy's strength and a little bit of luck. Your enemy's strength is the number on the slider that's all the way to the right. Your enemies are highlighted in blue and will occasionally attack one of your countries if it's bordering them. Neutral countries bordering you will turn against you eventually.
To attack a country, click on one of your countries and drag to the country you want to attack. The same goes for supporting, except you right click and drag from one of your countries to another. The slider indicates how much strength you want to transfer or attack with.

This is going to be one of the jam highlights for me.
Good job!
I played this game longer than the average ludum dare entry, so you managed to entertain me in the time I spent playing this game.
Thanks for a good solid entry, and I hope to see your games in future ludum dares aswell :)
I plowed through the game by duplicating myself up to 2000 power and then just transferring it around.
I'm not sure, but no ending seemed to have been added? After I conquered everything I just got a blackscreen.
