Interesting concept, I've never played a game with this mechanic before. It was a bit buggy on my play thru, but that may have been me not being familiar with the mechanic.
No that's not you just not being familiar with the concepts. It's just bugs I couldn't resolve and turned it into a feature(as Michael said on Discord) and I put it in the intro as: The King is the King and sometimes he might not obey your command, or something like that. Glad you liked it!
