It would be cool if the world had some different types of terrain, like a river or mountains. I don't understand how to assign humans to stuff.  Ok, after clicking on literally everything I figured out that I need to click on the + button next to building, really confused why it says 99 there and the plus button changes the number next to the -, but ok. You should prompt the player if they try to end turn with unassigned humans. It doesn't seem like placement of buildings has any effect on the game, you could have just simplfied and left that out. I played all 100 rounds, final score 6250. I couldn't figure out how to get more then 12 humans, not sure if that was a limit or i needed to build more. Good start for a strategy game here, I think you should try to simplify things and work on ui to better inform the player and make choices more understandable."},{"author_name":"graceavery","author_uid":"49147","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:47pm","epoch":1450118520,"text":"I can tell this took quite a lot of work.

The game could use a tutorial though (such is the case with most strategy games).

Pretty deep gameplay for a jam.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My final score was 10010.  You can trap yourself early if you overbuild.

Also I'm not sure if it would make the game more or less fairer but maybe you could have certain tiles (that are randomly generated) which give out special bonuses when a certain building is placed on it or even an exploration mechanic where you start out in one spot of the map and the rest cannot be seen unless you send scouts to discover the rest of the map as you play."},{"author_name":"gloim","author_uid":"66276","time":"Dec 27, 2015 @ 7:46am","epoch":1451202060,"text":"Wow, impressive game for 72 hours :) great work."}],"images":["ld34\/66047-4ba9022ba2200a9805d97872240ae228.jpg","ld34\/66047-8f24a49207eec2ac9f04d9b30975cce6.jpg","ld34\/66047-23adec89dda77f971708d05366d09528.jpg","ld34\/66047-a29cd561d9f5309443c5a7d96af09649.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/73352683\/TwoDoomedPenguins\/LD34_Colonize\/WebPlayer.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/73352683\/TwoDoomedPenguins\/LD34_Colonize\/Colonize_LD34.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/73352683\/TwoDoomedPenguins\/LD34_Colonize\/Colonize_LD34_MacOS.app.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/73352683\/TwoDoomedPenguins\/LD34_Colonize\/Colonize__LD34_Linux.zip","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/73352683\/TwoDoomedPenguins\/LD34_Colonize\/Colonize_LD34_Source.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"6967","g_author":"66047","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"6999","g_title":"Colonize","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"788","g_commentcount":"23","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66047-shot0-1450114816.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66047-shot1-1450114816.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66047-shot2-1450114816.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66047-shot3-1450114816.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Colonize\r\n\r\nYour motherland became to small, and many people didn\u2019t own any land.
