Allright, I think I mastered this game. I still mess up sometimes on really huge boards, but other than that I basically don't lose.
This game needs a harder AI. Maybe one that doesn't forget its king is under attack half the time.
So much of the strategy in this game is lining up troops and waiting for the opponent to screw up. Even against the hardest AI I only lose when I make a horrible blunder, and only win when the enemy screws up.
And the enemy screws up a lot. SOmetimes the enemy will attempt to make an offensive strike while their king is in check, even when they have very strong moves that break the check.
I win against the hardest AI about 3/5 of the time. I could probably do better if I actually understood the strategy of the game in more complex terms then "always attack unless you have to defend".
I finnally won. THe trick on the last two moons is to wait for almost every enemy to run out of ammo. make sure to kill a particle auto cannon user with a grenade though. A few enemies you don't get solid cover and have to kill with the gun, taking a few bullets, but you have enough health to deal with with it.
I don't understand the story of this game. It feels like it should have a sequel. Were you originally planning on eventually releasing a sequel? Or is the story just nonsense?
