I'm sorry but I had to give this 1/5. I'm not usually mean, but this game made absolutely no sense to me :( Plus the walkthrough is completely useless.
Cool game, I completed it really fast and no do-overs. My strategy was to attack the red bases, not the neutral ones, right after it had sent half its population away. I also kept very few units in my bases, so the losses wouldn't be so great :)
The recipe didn't state that it was for a crystal ball, so I spent ages looking for it. I thought you had to put the ingredients in a certain order, so I couldn't understand where the freaking ball was. Definitely minus points for that :(
The only suggestion I have is to write "full water jug" and "full oil can". In these games, they are usually empty, so I lost a lot of time trying to fill up the water jug :)
