Something that should be fixed: If a bum / protestor / construction site is engaged just before the boss stops, such that the boss stops during the three-second interval before they hit him up, it ends. I think they should be allowed to hit him...
Okay I love this and will sink vast amounts of time into it. One thing, though -- real wraparound scrolling would be great. Policing borders is a real headache when my empire spans the Solomon-Hawaii divide.
I wish there was a save feature, but I understand the rationale behind leaving it out; you don't want people reloading after dying because the point of the game is lose a bunch and progress each time. Maybe the way to do it is have a save function, and then trash the save file when the player dies?
