Thanks for playing and for the detailed review!
The rectangle blocking your view shouldn’t happen because you should be able to move and rotate the camera, so that’s an issue we’re going to look into. I can’t replicate it on my end however so I’ve got no idea what that would be. Several people have mentioned it. What are you playing on?
I wasted a lot of time trying to use an addon to make the ai smart- in the end I reverted it back to its original form of being an almost completely random system. It doesn’t have preferences beyond expanding, attacking, and placing reinforcements along its borders. It doesn’t snackrifice because I found it did it too often and made it even easier to beat haha
Sugar is essential in every recipe, so if the ai didn’t get one or couldn’t keep one for a while then I’m not surprised it did so poorly! Balancing in general is going to take a lot of work. I wanted to make it multiplayer, so when we have that system in place we can better fine tune all those mechanics, especially the Snackrificing which should be more rewarding!
Thanks again for your kindness and insights!
