I like the idea of the game and its simplicity and I followed its development on YouTube, but after playing it for the first time today (I played for 4 hours alone and 2.5 with a friend), I was disappointed. Nevertheless, I want this game to get better in the future, so I will share my criticism of the game. Feel free to criticise my review, I won't be offended, comments are on :)

Firstly, the controls. Every time, every command has to be confirmed with a button. None of the strategy games I've played before had this nonsense. It takes a lot of time and makes the controls unintuitive. At the same time, the right mouse button is free, which means that all movement commands that require confirmation could simply be bound to the right button without confirmation, when the selection could be bound to the left mouse button. Unfortunately, this game doesn't take this good old well beaten path like all other RTS and invents strange confirmation of each and every command.

Secondly, optimisation and network code. I don't know why, but in multiplayer games, I constantly get ‘Low FPS’ messages, and my units receive commands with a delay of a minute. My friend with whom I was playing with says that he has the same problem. Don't say I have potato PC, you've seen the game and it's simple graphics yourself...

Thirdly, the map generator. Most of the maps are impenetrable forests and piles of mountains in the middle, and all the soldiers are already standing on the front line opposing the enemy soldiers. There is no strategy here, because you don't have enough time to rearrange your soldiers, so you have to engage in an endless micromanagement and fight your way through narrow passages between mountains, instead of performing interesting manoeuvres in an operational-tactical space. And that's if you are lucky to not have to fight the command delay.

Some minor drawbacks are: the lack of ctrl+z in the map editor and that you have to reopen the UI every time you start a new battle. Oh and yes, the fact that litteraly 5 seconds after joining the official discord server of the game some moderator told me I was going to be banned for my nickname. LOL

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to add that the game is free, so like... It's amazing for its price))
