The game was fun but it needs more stuff, both combat and surroundings, otherwise it gets old pretty fast. Civilization might give you some ideas, especially with the unit diversity. Would love to see units like horse carriages and catapults. Also you need to differentiate more between units that are out of turns vs those that still have turns. Maybe an outline or a glow? Something that catches the eye.

For me, the best strategy was about 50/50 split between cheap units and archers. This helps most of the time except of the times when the enemy zerg rushes you with cheap units.

This game has a lot of potential, looking forward to seeing more in the future.

since you've said you're going to add actual graphics later i won't talk about that

using 3D graphics for backgrounds and 2D for characters is weird but fine,  using hexes is weird but fine, the pillars would look better if they were shorter

selecting another unit when you already have a unit selected could be simpler and the buttons are too far away from the actual hex after you click on it, or maybe the problem is that the buttons are too big, the gameplay is very simplistic and just picking lots of cheap units seems to be the best strategy, also i don't know if bushes give cover or a DEF bonus or whatever but it looks like they should

if you just pass the turn without doing anything you're unable to make any moves during your next turn, idk why

i'd try and differentiate units more, all four factions played very similarly, but it was the game i had the most fun playing this demo day so gj

Game is very cool, can see a lot of potential out of this. I think you could keep adding to it and make a pretty big game if that interests you. A race I would like to see would be skeletons because everyone loves undead. Maybe chuck humans in there too? It'd be really convenient if I could right click on a square or enemy to move/attack (whichever is appropriate) than have to go through the menu each time. Switching between allied units was difficult too as I wanted to select allies that were yet to move and kept on being prompted to 'swap' them instead. Perhaps only make that option available if it is actually viable, as opposed to trying to swap two guys on other side of the map.

Also the best strategy I found which resulted in a 100% success rate against every other race despite the map was playing orcs and just spamming the 15 gold raiders and getting one of the slavers. Every character seems to take around 2 hits to kill from any other character so it became apparent that if I simply had more bodies than the other guy I could charge him in a clump and clean up pretty easily.

This was really fun, though I haven't managed to win yet. It's all pretty intuitive, especially with the tutorial. There seemed to be a lot of options, and other than he art style it seemed very polished. Only issue was that I couldn't camera panning to work, but my laptop has a shitty mouse that doesn't like to click and move, so that's probably why. WASD or arrow key panning would be nice though. Good shit, Merfolk best folk

I won a round, I feel so proud. The tutorial was cool and  useful.

My only technical problem with the game are the bars that appear when you hit a unit. They look so much like health bars, but they're obviously not, because units keep dying even when their bars are still filled.
