Perhaps some numbers might have helped with the sizes of each group.  That way you know how big to grow your side before engaging the enemy.  Fun to play.  Liked the graphics.  Worked well for me on the web; no lag that I could sense."},{"author_name":"jcwelgemoed","author_uid":"55308","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:21am","epoch":1450163760,"text":"What a cool entry. I liked this though it needs a bit more gameplay. just running until your army gets bigger does get old after a while :)\r<br\/>This is potential though. Great compo entry."},{"author_name":"emmavanderbrug","author_uid":"65833","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:27am","epoch":1450164120,"text":"Really enjoyed this game a lot.
