This is a fairly nice game, although I think it needs a few more mechanics and features to balance it out. 

After some playing on normal, I found it difficult for settlements to defend themselves from attack, investments in saving or preserving life were not strong enough, and the computer generally had a far easier time grabbing features and ramping up, leading me to believe there's few routes to success outside of battle strategy.

Perhaps after a few more losses on normal I'll have a good balance of heroes to tasking, but the player seems to pay for having more heroes far more than the CPU.
