Nice game that could be so much better
This is a nice game with 2 issues.
If you could keep your money, from one round to the next, so that economizing on troops early on, would let you call in more troops later on.
Seems obvious. How could it have been missed? You might have to change some of the numbers to balance things for this change, but then the game would be infinitely more interesting...
The other big problem is that the hero cannot do much fighting. He cannot move down to attack the archers, or other big nasties, but lnly cut down low level peon. In the virtually identical game out there, (a later version, with a slightly different name, perhaps), the hero can fight in the main fights, and does take damage. This is much superior, to this version.
