A really nice concept, I had fun playing, I tried 4 times but I failed to beat it the AI is too stronk :D
Like others point out would be good to differentiate your units from the enemy more and add an indicator as to which general you're currently controlling. The AI has a bit of an unfair advantage because if I lose a general I can no longer move my army after I select a different general, but if the AI loses a general it will continue to control the troops regardless, also my troops got stuck on the map and I couldn't unstick them. The things I pointed out are not affecting my score, this is still pretty impressive for a 48 hour jam and one of the more fun games I've played so far.
Edit: also some way to indicate general's health, troops can go without, but knowing how damaged your generals are is important
Thank you!
I really like the concept and the art! Just wish that it was clearer witch unity or group I'm controlling, like a highlight around it. We did something similar in our game, to show witch units the player was controlling we presentend it in the menu, had a instructions tab and on the first level had it zoomed in on the group you were actively controlling.
The game could definitely use a bit more polish and explanation of it's precise mechanics. However, I really like the idea. It actually made me feel like I am some medieval commander standing on a hill and ordering my units. One could even say that a bit of unexplainable chaos that happens when some soldiers get stuck is playing into that fantasy as well! The artstyle is really good too. Nice job!
A bit difficult to understand at the beginning. I like the art style and the board game ambiant. Congratz !
