Took me a while to understand how to convert other kingdom. That part should be explain more (I think).
I had to restart a few times to find a start that looks okay. I think it might be better if the number of starting area is equal for each kingdom.
Took me a while but I managed to beat it after multiple tries.
Love how the game become a zone control as I slowly trap some of the pieces. Love to see if and how the mechanics is expanded.
