Interesting historical setting and game concept. Nothing wrong with being a text-based adventure, but it would be fun to have more in the graphical department. Good game!

Great game, i like the console-ish style but i think that you should add variety in gameplay because reading can get exhausting after a while. For exemple i think that oregon trail had a little shooting phase sometimes to let the player breath between reading. I love the music <3!

It's definitely an improvement from what it was before! good job :)

I would have liked to see more colors, but otherwise you did a great job

1st attempt, made it to London just barely in time, but without enough men.

2nd attempt...bye bye London. And a whole bunch of my own guys.

Having a couple graphics, even if just very minimal, would have been nice to help pull it all together, but I can totally understand how just trying to get the underlying logic of a jam game working can lead to that not happening, haha.
