The technology thing is easy to forget to chose though, like it took me two games to realise it was a thing. Also it wasn't clear where each resource comes from.
Bug: if you tell a worker who is carrying stuff and going back to a depot or the base, to go and do something, he will go to the thing but then turn around and go back to the base or depot to drop his stuff off. he should just ignore the order to do the thing or do it after he drops the stuff off.
We're contemplating letting you pick the first technology to research before the game actually starts. That way you don't have to worry about clicking around too much before settling your tribe. And also let you queue technologies so you don't have to micro the tech tree as much as now.
Hey man, you made an awesome game. Did you take inspiration from games like civ5/6? It's fun :D Just a few ideas: (I know it takes a long time, but if you ever need ideas here's some o3o)
. Horses around the map that can be tamed with the right technology
. Horseman and cavalry
. Catapults and battering rams that excel at combat against buildings
. Maybe boats?
. Training grounds to increase the strength/speed of military units
. Walls and defensive buildings
. Maybe a 'patrol' option for units so that they can patrol areas for enemies?
Really interesting game! I struggled a bit initially to figure out the correct method to play, but I actually think that's an asset to the game. I may not have played so long (about 4 hours) if I didn't have that drive to figure it out. I would love some more research or a larger map.
I love the game's visual design. Its very light and everything fits well together.
I would have appreciated a pause. If anything interrupted me I usually died within a couple minutes of being away from the computer.
I work in javascript but I assume c#(unity should be similar enough.) Do you store all the sprites and objects in an array? then you could just save an array as a file
Thanks, I enjoyed your video! Was fun to see how a new player understands the game. I'll have to work on those difficulty levels, and include a a better tutorial or in-game help button.
When my people don't have enough food, it says, "your people IS starving". When it should say, "your people ARE starving", by the way this game is awesome!
An enemy axeman was attacking one of my archers. I moved the archer out of melee range, but the axeman just stood his place and attacked. It seems like the archer was still recieving damage as well, and died shortly afterwards. The axeman was quite a distance away at that point.
ah right i actually suspected that this is the case a while after posting that. i hope you put some more settings in the match creation including the ability to play with no AI opponents. i get your game is more about fighting but i find the economy management in most rts-games enjoyable enough by itself. plus i don't like the preassure RTS-games put on you when there is no ability to pause the action so you can think and give commands. this game isn't looking too bad so far tho.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add a Sandbox build further down the road for players like yourself. :) Also, several people have suggested adding a pause button, so I've added that to my to do list as well.
Great game! Perhaps adding more food options. Limited to farms and berries. Animals for hunting/fishing would be a great addition! Reminds me of Age of Empires!
Its a nice game, but i think that you should nerf the enemy spawn rate and spawn time, since there isnt enough time to collect food, wood and train your army.

Really great fun!

Thanks for the bug report, will check it out.

Great game man. Really enjoying playing it :D
Thanks man! We've taken inspiration from many games. Not directly from Civ, but I've played those games a lot so it might be an unconscious thing. ;)
Most of the stuff you suggest is on the road map. Stay tuned!
I knew civ was in there somewhere ;))
Actually, maybe the tech tree button and the research bar at the top left is inspired from Civ. Or a coincidence. Who knows! ;)

I found that leaving the screen freezes gameplay
use alt_tab
Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you enjoy it.
I'm uploading a small update today (Australia time) that will include Pause.
More research and larger map types are on the road map. :)
how do i save my game?
Hey man, we haven't added Save yet.
ok its cool ill wait. when do you plan to add it? this game has potential to beat AOE... and its free!
Adding a Save/Load function can be quite a bit of work so we aren't 100% sure when yet. Thanks for the comment, glad to hear you like it!
I work in javascript but I assume c#(unity should be similar enough.) Do you store all the sprites and objects in an array? then you could just save an array as a file
Yes, C#. Maybe it's less work than I perceive. I'll look into it soon. :)
Also to help: I found a bug where spearmen are called "swords men" in the toolbar on the bottom.
Thanks for the bug report, will fix right away!
Yeah, Spearman, by a fault, currently has the same stats as Swordsman.
YUS
its my first gameplay right here
i love RTS genre and still its in early alpha so i cant comment more. goodluck on your game!Thanks for sharing! It was fun watching how you learned from the first game and smashed it on your second attempt.
If you click on the top left button you can research new technologies.
nice! thanks for the info :)
Played a tiny bit of this on my channel!

Thanks! I guess this revealed that I'm not native English. ;)
Really? I wouldn't have guessed as your English is very good!
Thanks man!
there is some bugs, but the game is genius
Would love a pause button and/or a save. Very Good.
Also, small bug where a bowman was chasing my slinger, then ran into melee range and stopped without attacking.
Thanks for the bug report!
Saving and pause is something I'll add eventually, but it's still a bit further down the track.
I love the art style. The food needs are a little unintuitive, maybe a tooltip when hovering, to explain it?
Also, bug I noticed:
An enemy axeman was attacking one of my archers. I moved the archer out of melee range, but the axeman just stood his place and attacked. It seems like the archer was still recieving damage as well, and died shortly afterwards. The axeman was quite a distance away at that point.
Thanks man, will sort it out!
Looks so cool but I can't play it because I have a 32-bit System :( Hope you add a 32 bit version soon
I'll work on it for the next build!
why does the AI start with a fully developed town even on the easiest difficulty even though the player doesn't start with even a single building?
A well developed skirmish style AI is going to be a challenge to implement, but it's on the road map.
ah right i actually suspected that this is the case a while after posting that. i hope you put some more settings in the match creation including the ability to play with no AI opponents. i get your game is more about fighting but i find the economy management in most rts-games enjoyable enough by itself. plus i don't like the preassure RTS-games put on you when there is no ability to pause the action so you can think and give commands. this game isn't looking too bad so far tho.

Well the game's 64 bit, Might wanna add 32 bit if you want me to record this
Thanks for the interest. I'll try to add 32 bit support in the next update.
Hey this for the dev of this game: I'm gonna see if i can record it if i can i'll do right away!

Thanks! Hunting animals and fishing are definitely on the road map.
very wasome
realy nice visuals are great and this game is difficult i like that
Its a nice game, but i think that you should nerf the enemy spawn rate and spawn time, since there isnt enough time to collect food, wood and train your army.
What difficulty level did you play on? I'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback.
Great game !
