First I'd like to say this game is amazing, although it would be much better if I could play with strategic friends rather than AI. I have a large custom map. After making my move (setting troups on new hexes then clicking the next button), the game freezes. I can still move the screen and go to main menu, but can't play the map.

Smooth and fast to both boot up and play. Simple combat at first but gets more complex as the difficulty is raised. As far as tbs' go, it's really easy to get into and play for short or long periods. What I would love to see added is possibly a ranged (archer/sling) unit, and possibly castles for a stronger end game fight (catapults to counter them?). Overall a fantastic game though.

Very fun game to pick up and play within 2 minutes. Highly addictive with easy controls and a colorful interface. Gameplay, especially combat, could be a hair better, particularly end-game campaigns. If you have played Civ3, you know how frustrating instantaneous movement can be, particularly when there is no real counter to an attacking Knight. Overall, fun to pick up, but there are some mechanical shortcomings that funnel players into horde-style end-game combat.

I read reviews all the time and i always wonder if they are honest and genuine. My name is Ziggaboo in the gaming world. 31 years old and played all types of games. This is one little piece of perfection. Love the game, art, controls, settings and sound effects. I only wish it had more levels and battle music to play and listen. 5 stars, real talk radio.
This is by far my favorite game ever. It is incredibly addicting, as other people have said, and the AIs continue to challenge me. In the future, I would love to see the ability to upgrade or destroy buildings, even larger maps, and terrain variation. Currently, my favorite part of the game is Skirmish mode, but I've started playing through the Campaign just to say I did.
Great game! And NO SPECIAL PERMISSIONS :) bravo! There's too many shady people out there making games that want your friends' names or your precise location! It's a relief to find apps that aren't trying to access info they clearly don't need. Thank you!

Thanks for reply. Maybe you accidentally turned on multiplayer mode in editor? Smooth and fast to both boot up and play. Simple combat at first but gets more complex as the difficulty is raised.

Thanks for good reply. If you would feel that campaign is too easy then I recommend to skip to level 60, it's unlocked by default :) Great game! And NO SPECIAL PERMISSIONS :) bravo!

Yiotro 28 May 2017
And thank you for good reply :) This is a very repayable game, addictive and fun. I love that it has no ads and I hope that it can stay that way. I also like that there are both campaign and skirmish modes. It would be cool if I could have the option to watch the AI play it's turns. On the large maps it would make it easier to get a sense of the strategy. My only complaints are: -In the campaign lv 24 and balance mode, the AI breaks the game rules. Things like pesants killing spearmen.
Yiotro 16 April 2017
Thanks for reply. Does this happen all the time? If yes, then please email me, because AI shouldn't do that. Simple yet addictive, it takes some time to understand how to play. As expected from a turn-based game you have all the time you need to think and plan. Don't mind the simple graphics either, they are perfect for the game, no need for fancy effects, it's only strategy with no ads, a rare jewel in the free-games market on android.
Yiotro 23 April 2017
Thanks for good reply. The tutorial and help section on this game are totally wrong. The amount of pure misinformation is ridiculous for a game with such a small team. Houses have no defense value. Towers do have upkeep. And even the up keep on units is listed wrong. Aside from that the difficulty curve is worse than dark souls. Went from breezing through the first leg of the campaign to hitting a wall and not understanding how the enemy is making money faster than me.
Yiotro 20 May 2017
Thanks for reply. Yes, 'help' section looks misleading because it describes 'slay rules' when by default other rules are on. I will do something with this in next update. Also, I agree that difficulty jump in level 24 is high. I will fix it also. On the positive side, this game is a very pure, stripped down strategy game. The rules are simple and the options for strategy run deep. On the downside, the campaign levels are not well balanced and I wonder if they have even been play-tested. Still, if you are looking for a no frills strategy game, this is worth checking out.
Yiotro 20 May 2017
Thanks for reply. My dad and I used to play this all the time on our computer years and years ago. It was titled "Slay". It's so fun and addictive. I just thought to check if there was an app version. Glad to see there is!
Yiotro 7 May 2017
Thanks for good reply. Somewhere nearby should be slay from author of original game (Sean O'Connor). You can buy it to support him :) I think it could use bridges so that units can use them to get across water to other land or an island. Also, when I play after about 20-30 mins, the game crashes. It's annoying, but still fun to play. And maybe add more team colors and bigger maps for more fun?
Yiotro 28 May 2017
Thanks for reply. I'm sorry about that crashes, I tried hard to fix them but it looks like it's not possible. I can only recommend to turn on autosave in game options. This is one minimalistic game, which is weird considering how laborious it is. It begins slow, it continues slowly, and only picks up pace near the end. Due to how lengthy the game can be, the amiable colors and backgrounds becomes archaic. The main problem could be how economical this game is in the design department. Perhaps music could be added to tolerate the soulless ambiance. To be clear, I don't have the audacity to abhor such a strategically focused game. The negative introduction is in the aesthetic view only, and although long levels is an aspect I don't strive to see, I highly advocate the features outside the campaign. For example, the editor mode is great fun with the implication that you can experiment with artificial intelligence. Sincerely, this game is fantastic in making you think, but I think if you were to add to the environment, it would be perfect.
Yiotro 23 April 2017
Thanks for good reply. In the first hard level you start off in a really bad position, if i started in a an ok position I would be able to defend but in the start im surrounded by the ai and trees. Edit: thanks a lot I'll try that soon.
Yiotro 20 May 2017
Thanks for reply. Yes, I agree that difficulty jump in level 24 is high. I plan to fix it in next update. Meanwhile, to beat this level I recommend to immediately attack some lonely AI and "relocate" your main base there (stop defeding your lands in the middle of the map). This puts you in much better position. Pretty good game. Gameplay is interesting but can feel a bit empty. There needs to be a better end game and powerful structures or towns. Concept for towns would be that they are hard to build and take pultiple hexes but are easy to destroy and give a lot of money. Online multiplayer would also be nice.
Yiotro 7 May 2017
Thanks for good reply. I mean it's an OK game but it's really hard to grasp. I saw a whole other team die. All of them disappeared and turned into grave stones. I love these types of games but this one is quite hard. I love polytopia
Yiotro 30 April 2017
Thanks for reply. Every unit consumes money to live. When you select territory the number in upper middle shows how much money you will get next turn. If this number is negative than it means that your units consume too much money. If territory can't feed units they die. So you just have to be more careful with units that you buy. I think you should add boats so you can get across the grey areas like water. Also it is a very fun game.
Yiotro 7 May 2017
Thanks for reply. I just don't get the rules after lvl 24. I place strong towers and level 1 enemy enters adjacent cell as if towers do nothing. Or I placed two strong towers and they either just disappeared or the enemy takes them out with a single knight. Does the enemy get multiple moves after 24? At the least the difficulty curve needs to be smoothed out and/or add a new tutorial at that point showing some strategies. It went from fun to play to not worth trying at lvl 24.
It's a great free game, with no adverts whatsoever I only have 1 issue with it, even at the highest skirmish difficulty the AI is not challenging at all. Don't misunderstand me it's not stupid but unless I do some silly mistake it won't give a real challenge at all and I am not one of those hardcore strategist just an average player. Thank you for your time making this great version paying £3 for slay is a bit too much.
Yiotro 28 May 2017
Thanks for good reply. Yeah, I agree, AI is not challenging enough. I've tried multiple times to make it better, but no luck. I think that making it play on human level requires completely different approach and also a lot of work and time put into it. I can only recommend you to try 'slay rules' if you didn't tried it yet, it's slightly harder. The only app I do not delete. I play this with all my friends (0), with a singular game pasting more than a month now. Currently, I just do quick small games, never saving them, in fear of deleting the long lasting game. Can you please add the feature of saving multiple games??
Yiotro 3 April 2017
Thanks for good reply. Actually there is this feature, you can enable it in game options (it's called 'multiple save slots' or something like that). Your save would remain in that separate 'invisible save slot'. Great game with easy controls, kept me occupied for 2 weeks but now I m stuck on level 71 and it's frustrating. Why all levels have slay mode option and this one doesn't? I feel like it's not possible to defeat the enemy while I have to build troops to pass the nearby enemy while the other one gets free pass to 2/3 of the whole territory. Otherwise super fun and big bonus that there is no ads!
This is very similar to Slay (which I also own). It is a tiny game and has random maps for infinite replayability. Updates are frequent and it is a lot of fun to play.
Yiotro 26 September 2016
Thanks for good reply. Love this game. No bugs, great ai. Used to play similar about 10 years ago called pocket slay. Spent a bunch of time playing it, but this version is better.
Yiotro 7 May 2017
Thanks for good reply. Kind of fun for a moment. But it gets boring too fast. I like simple, but this is perhaps too simple. I beat the first several levels very easily. Wondering when it is supposed to get challenging.
Yiotro 20 May 2017
Thanks for reply. I recommend you to skip directly to level 60, it's unlocked by default. Also, you can try playing 'skirmish' mode with highest difficulty. Another great game ruined. Why make changes without adding an option to revert to the previous rule? Was a great game until knights cant take knights rule changed... why the hell wouldn't you have it selectable in the options in order to please everyone? Not sure (& don't care) if the "slay" rule options fix this as I don't like the way those rules play.
Yiotro 7 May 2017
Thanks for reply. It's not that a little change, I can't just make it changeable in options. This little change results in game rules, that require different AI, for example. Also, I can think of only one tactic that can be ruined by this update (place a knight and spam farms). Loved this game , 1st had no idea but now.iv finished lvl 80 and can't wait to see if new update has more levels . Well done guys . Simple and addictive game
Yiotro 9 April 2017
Thanks for good reply. Trees replicate like rabbits. Difficulty doesn't scale well. Game needs work.
Yiotro 20 May 2017
Thanks for reply. There is a simple tip about trees: Cut them as soon as possible. In early stages they are in low numbers and it's easy to deal with them. Later they spread across map and become really big problem. Great game simple but just awesome! There is one bug I experience sometimes when I enter a level and I can't place any people or buildings but I can still press the play button in the right hand corner. But this is still a great game! 🤠 EDIT: Happens in campaign for me thank you 😅
Yiotro 23 April 2017
Thanks for reply. Does this happen in campaign or in skirmish? Awesome, pick up and stop anytime. Not forced to log in, or to do dailies. Perfect game! I have tried near 500 games on my phone, this it the only game that I still play after 2 years. No ads. Just awesomeness. Edit: I still feel the same.
Yiotro 12 February 2017
Thanks for good reply :) This is a simple but amazing game. I would like to see the ability to sync phones added so that many people can play using their own phones instead of one phone being passes around!
Yiotro 23 April 2017
Thanks for reply. Impossible to uninstall as a big image appears on the settings-app- uninstall page for the LG G4 on 5.1. Can uninstall via play though. Aside from this issue it played well.
Yiotro 16 April 2017
Thanks for reply. Hmm, that sounds really strange. Does the icon prevent uninstalling? O_o . Sounds more like a problem of Lg custom UI. Very strange :) Make this game online, then it will be great. Now it has become very boring.
Edit: the undo button is no longer an issue. Do you have any plans to expand map size and add a fifth tier unit? I still play this game every day, it's the best!
Yiotro 9 April 2017
Thanks for reply. UPD: You don't have to exactly aim at 'undo'. The touch area of this button is actually bigger than it looks. You can just tap above it. Simple yet satisfying. You can crank up the difficulty or play easy/normal to have a win under your best after a long day. Great work. Love to see sea features in a future version.
Yiotro 28 May 2017
Thanks for good reply. No ads, free, excellent gameplay, easy to learn. This is a MUST have game in my opinion... not sure why the developer doesn't charge money for this.
Yiotro 23 April 2017
Thanks for good reply. Neat little game, the art could be called a style... gameplay is amazing! The only downside is no autosaves, I lost a ton of progress to accidentally tabbing out and it restarting the whole game.
Yiotro 30 April 2017
Thanks for reply. You can enable autosave in game options :) Straightforward, simple and addictive, it's fun. The controls and scrolling could be improved so I don't accidentally hit my phone's back button or scroll the map when I don't mean to. Could also add player statistics like average game duration, longest and shortest game duration/moves made etc. All in all, great game
Campaign is so simple and booooring. Abandoned after completing first 50 levels with no fun..
Yiotro 16 April 2017
Thanks for reply. You can skip to lvl 60 if it's too easy. Also, I recommend you to try 'skirmish' mode with highest difficulty. Great game, get easy after awhile until the last 10 levels or so. Campaign took me a good bit of time. Great strategy game
Yiotro 23 April 2017
Thanks for good reply. I love this game!! But, I think it will be better if this game correspond Google play game to take over save data.
