It would be nice to have something that shows how many units and cells each team has, and a quick way to restart when it becomes clear you won't win.

I like the reset of flow. Made the game more challenging and made me multitask. Even on hard, with no reset, its pretty easy to set a path and move on to another part of the board.

It really bothered me that you cannot control Hexes whiled paused. I was losing Hexes while I was dragging what power where.

I grew to not mind the reset of the flows. However, in the sequel, it could be great if you could re-draw connections by dragging the mouse through multiple cells, rather than clicking each individual one. What do you think?

I would have given this game 5/5 because tentacle wars and nano wars and phage wars are my favorite games of all time. However, the 'reset' of the flow got too annoying, very fast. I would give this game a 2/5 or 3/5 because of this, but I want to rate it up so that it gets a sequel.
4/5.

I don't know about you guys, but it would be nice to be able to tell what levels you played on easy, medium, or hard...

this game is brilliant, when they stop supplying because they are overstretched just means you have to watch supply lines
once minor thing, you could make it so shift click removes all arrows to a node, it would help fast paced levels like the grid ones

Gah you made what I had conceptually worked out. I wanted to make something like this (not in flash) using a hex grid. This is very well done tho.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If you do make a sequel (which I think you should) maybe consider adding a level creator, or "ghost routes" - in which you can plot routes through the enemy so when you take a cell it will already have been set to output somewhere else. Along with the other idea's specified by others. It would be a great game, like this one!

Loving this game, I actually like the fact that the arrows reset when they reach 0, it makes you stay on your toes and keep scanning your territories to make sure they're secured, and to keep the flow of power moving, very nicely done!

I love this game, top three that I've played in this genre. I agree that resetting the 'low energy' is tedious, especially when you hit an impasse with the red enemy. Besides the 'mass' select and flow down idea, you could also have an upgrade that connections go 'dormant' at energy lv.1 and would re-activate at a preset energy level (e.g. 20 or 25).

Like the others, I was annoyed at first that the links were broken whenever a hex ran out of units. I managed to work around it by having long chains, after which the game got considerably more fun. One thing I'd like to see changed though; when you're sending units to a neutral hex or your own hex, and that hex gets captured by the enemy, you stop sending units to that hex. It would be nice if that link was not automatically stopped as it makes it considerably more difficult to manage fighting over a particular hex.

love it. Mrdn don't listen to the whiners about the flow reset it's a decent wrinkle to have to keep track of. some special squares with an advantage one way but disadvantage another would be a change to mix it up.

The point of cells stopping the connection when they run out of points/energy is so you don't just sit back and watch when you outnumber the foe, it keeps you doing something. I would like to see special blocks though, or multiple enemies. Other then that great game 4/5.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
it needs a mode where they can earn there numbers faster for the dominent hack and you need to make it to where more than one can attack a block sort of like civilizeation wars and it only puts out half and needs a mutiplayer but without those it gives a good game i would give it a 7/10 it needs an update srry about bad rateing though i type what i feel and i feel lik it needs work thumbs up if you agree

I understand why so many players don't like the supply lines disappearing when the hex goes down to 1, but without it there wouldn't be much of a game. I was surprised how frantic it got towards the end :) Very nice indeed, 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hate to beat a dead horse, but having to reset the energy flow for each cell when the supply runs out kills the fun and actually makes the game stressful. When I set a direction of flow, that's the direction the flow needs to go, until I change it, or the cell is captured by the enemy.

In regards to Megmaconqueror's post on Feb 13, 2012 and the developers response.
If you decide to go any further I would strongly suggest changing the name of this game. Because as previously mentioned it is a registered TM. and because of that there are a variety of ways if they were so inclined to go after you. (Honestly I would rename this one two just so that there is no confusion.)
5/5 btw :D fix the supply lines though.. that is REALLY annoying having to redo them
[I clicked on it because it was Dot.Hack -- ergo the confusion/misleading that is so often used in TM cases <--works for a lawyer] /cheers

Pretty good game, though it's nothing new as far as hex games go. Two major points: One, your supply lines need to stay up even when the cells run out of energy. Remaking them is just tedious and takes time that you really don't have in later levels. Secondly, connecting two cells should be as simple as a mouse swipe in the correct direction. You can't connect farther than one cell away anyway, so there's absolutely no reason to force people to actually click on the cell they're aiming for - a direction is sufficient. Far too often I was swiping quickly to try to connect long lines of cells or redirect existing lines and I had to do it two or three times because it didn't register the first time. Again, this takes time you don't have in later levels. Fix those simple issues and it would be a much better game.

2/5. Would get +1 stars if you didn't keep breaking my supply lines (if arrows kept going even when a hex was out of points), +1 if there was some benefit to big hexes (so there was strategy in building up points), and +1 if there was an innovation over other games in the genre.

Large cells (with 20+ units) should have some benefit. Attack faster, attack multiple cells, etc. Otherwise, it's easy to build up a surplus that you can't use.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hate how the arrows turn off when the cell runs out of power. Just have it send what it builds. I don't want my back line to build up a surplus.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Is nice, but in the later levels it's all about span of control. I can't control 20 different tiles at the same time. The AI also seems to leave large groups of forces in the back. Maybe on hard you could make the AI a bit smarter.

I like these types of games and this one is fun, it is repetitive but still enjoyed it, I hope you come out with a #2
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I love this game, much like Tentacle Wars and Nano Wars, but I found it annoying that when the unit didn't have enough points on it, it would take away where the arrows are going to.

holy f!!! very nice game 8/10. id give 10/10 if it was possible to click n slide over your territories to select the direction of expenditure... sorta like mass, or quick select. but great game great idea
