@freeirony: Then you level up and buy more army space. And those scenarios you mentioned are actually quite rare. If you are good enough you can utilise multiple routes of attack to stop someone before that happens :P
Who else noticed the pun with the badge 'Purrninating the Peasants' from Homestarrunner.com when Strongbad made Trogdor the dragon-man.
BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE. BURNINATING THE PEASANTS. BURNINATING ALL THE PEOPLE... etc etc.
Kudos to whoever came up with that badge name. Sheer and utter genius.
Really fun game and concept, but REALLY needs 'something' else to make it less grindy. Possibly reward distance travelled, have some other upgrade for those who play for awhile, or maybe alternate routes in a level (like have 2 storied level, can give people a chance to try out stuff). I think if one of these were implemented it would be a deeper game in general and a greater experienece overall.
As is, 4.2/5 (the .2 because black blobs told me to :O)
that would be greg.
