Hey, kind of nice click-click-click time waster :)

It seemed a little buggy, though... Like buttons not being aligned to their graphics and disappearing scores etc (after one battle I had the score of "4,2" and after the next it was "4,567" or something).

Also, I couldn't beat the last level. The description said that I needed to use the cannon, but I wasn't allowed to build any cannons on that level (there wasn't any cannon button). I'm not sure if this is some kind of puzzle, but I couldn't figure out how to beat the level without cannons...

EDIT: I replayed one of the other missions to see if that would reset the cannon button, but it seems like the cannon has disappeared permanently. Also, after beating that mission, the last mission said "beaten," although I hadn't beaten it yet. Like I said, this game feels bug-ridden indeed!

You're supposed to refresh to get the cannon back. I got the same bug too.
With the debug flash player, I got like 4-5 errors before I was in the game, so you might wanna check that.

One other "bug" I noticed was that the enemy's arrow shield blocked my cannon shots too? I think it took like 5-6 cannon shots before something destroyed it.

First level I thought was incredibly boring because my troops seemed to do very minimal damage to the castle after I had overtaken the field basically. At some point I built the cannon and got the other castle destroyed.
First level took way too long. After there's only my units on the map, it should be close to over. Now it took like 5 minutes of clicking more units on a empty map and that really took out the steam of the experience. When the first wave of my 10 or so soldiers reached the castle I thought "oh yeah, he's gonna get it now" and then I saw that they did like 1 pixel of damage I was like :screamy:

Second level was kind of the same in the beginning but I had kind of came up with a rush strategy when I noticed I have $2 special soldiers :o So I just kept spamming $2 soldiers and some villagers and I was totally owning it. Cannoned when I started to have more money.

Third level I found the editors in the map selection. Awesome. But you should point that stuff out or even open it automatically at some point. So I made a castle destroying Special unit 2 and made everyone look cool.
From that point on I had it pretty much down, spam $2 soldiers and villagers to overwhelm the enemy and cut him from the tree supply and then just keep that up with throwing castle destroyers in the mix.

I played through it but kind of felt like I cheated. Was there any difference between the normal soldiers and special unit $2 soldiers? That strategy was totally unbeatable up to the end.

Overall a very enjoyable game but if you're gonna work on something more, it should be the balancing and pacing.

2 dollar soldiers do pretty much no damage to the castle. The canon fix should be fixed soon I hope. (Sponsor has to upload the new version.)

Also, in unit customization, you can set their names, and you can set what abilities you two custom units get. Like shooting a couple dozen arrows at a time, building all the structures on the map.

I have/had a lot to learn with the project and future ones. Posts like you guys make it much more helpful to figure out what I did wrong. Thank you guys.
