*Spoiler Warning* The "Flood Them with Spearmen" Strategy to Guarantted Success: 1. choose a race with spearmen (i like Undead); 2. spend all your money on spear and speed upgrades (favoring spear); 3. pick a lane and send spearmen in a single lane as quickly as possible holding down the space bar the whole time; 5. Ignore what the opposition does, let their guys through, you are putting guys into play quicker; 6. Use your charge (Q) when you can.

Very good game. Only complaint is that the enemies can be a bit dull at times. I completed the campaign as the Mountain Trolls and unlocked the demons!

You should add a computer turn after each failed or successful battle for them to counter attack allowing you to actually lose territory.
I noticed that at lower difficulties it is too easy to just pick a good or quick unit and spam one lane to win the battle. Maybe allow units to attack adjacent lanes as well as their own?
Also adding a two player mode where you cannot see the arrows, having P2 use the other end of the keyboard would be cool.

1/5 since the best strategy is to just spam spearmen. If you play the game like it should be played at higher difficulty levels it is too hard. Spearmen spam and you aren't even challenged.

great sound effects, great animations, fun idea. add a little more (like upgrades based on territory and more varied units) and you'll have a huge hit! good job

Also, forgive my double-comment, but it must be said: you uploaded a new version, spent time tweaking units (more like nerfing the entire Night Elf race) and adding new buttons, but didn't implement the most asked for function (Pausing)?

I don't like the new version. On the last territories if you try and actually play strategically you'll just get your ass handed to you. But if you just sit there and send a single constant line of Spearmen, ignoring all other units, you will win. This wasn't apparent in the old version, and at least created the illusion of being strategic.

I cannot beat Orthshire to save my life. Everything else was pretty easy, but that last territory is just impossible. When their basic unit is formed as quick as anything I have but can take out 5-6 of my best troops by itself... I just can't fathom how to do this.

It was fun until I had to beat a hard level, and tried scouts. And you can beat the game with just scouts (and probably spearmen) as any race. The computer AI doesn't respond to 8 lane rushes.

My TV remote just beat this game, I propped it onto my space bar.
The game was fun until the [lack of] strategy became apparent.

Btw, The scoring system is a joke. It truly is.
High Score: 1
The only one worth looking at is: kills and that punishes the good players

Good Game, but way too easy. I could hold down space on spear men, and no matter what they had, my spears would always overpower them after a speed an armor and a spear upgrade. That was what, 4 levels into the game?

With undead, you can win using only spearmen and alabardiers (I conquered the demons first, without losing a sigle battle).

The game is really easy with Men Of The West.
The mountain trolls nothing compared to archers.
I dont see why every1 is saying its hard... O.o

Oh yeah it's also annoying that you've got to aim not to win too quickly. And btw mages can even take out the elite units of a lot of sides even though they cost less

The autosend is a GREAT feature, takes away a dull part of the game ("hold down space bar forever"). The archer nerf was needed, too, although clearly it was a bit too much - perhaps you should make them a little faster to produce now as well? Only thing still "wrong" with this game is that the whole issue of how much money you earn per level is screwed - you get penalised for doing well, and there's no feedback for HOW much you earned or WHY you earned it (that would help enormously). Still a great game, though.

Needs balance. Some things are worth a lot more in terms of strength and usability than others.
It's probably because I suck but I just can't get anything to kill mages except horses.

ponyman1, there is a button for player 2's charge. It's the 0 button next to the arrow keys, and I think you have to have numlock on. Or maybe not. Try both ways.

The patch were released due unbalanced characters, more patches will problably release, those that said "archers" were their main defense/offense really need to quit play these kind of games.

The game's great, but could you make a button for player 2's charge, there isn't a button, well if there is it doesn't work.

After having lost the last level several times, trying various more or less clever tactics, I turned on autosend, selected a row, and kept on sending my swordsmen... I sat and watched the game play it itself, and won without any effort. :( I could have left the computer, if not for the fact that I had to press 'q' once I had earned a charge. Sad that this is the winning strategy in an otherwise great game.
