Originally gave it 4/5 until I reached the level with limited gold and couldn't get past even when I tried the strategy suggested in the comments. it seems like the enemy doesn't have the same restrictions for making units as you do, two knights pop out at once or three footmen. disappointed :(
this is the most unique game I think I have ever seen. The concept is original and challenging, thanks for saying to draw it out because it really does help.
Not quite as bad a the other comments say, I did find pirates and the tips were helpful. I think its comparable as a much simpler version of tradewinds. the point of this game seems to be to get the highest score possible.
