Hey thanks for checking it out. Yeah that makes sense, I am hoping to have a better tutorial system out in the next few days. I'm also planning on tweaking the first battle to make it a little easier.
The auto-restart is interesting, the Commoner unit in the first battle is on your team so you won't "lose" and be prompted to restart until all units on your team are destroyed. It might be unintuitive then that they are also a unit you can move around and use.
Not sure if you played the 1.1 version but there is a difficulty option in Settings that might help.
Thanks again
