I do not understand. I received two strikes for not assigning guards, when both times I had two assigned (they didn't even fall asleep). I was also raided both times, killing all three tunnelers both times as well. Then heavy shelling collapsed all previously dug tunnels, buried three more men, and caused me to get a third strike for failure to complete duties. All of this happened by the eighth day. Not to mention my punishment of all crimes except two "caught drinking" cases didn't stop me from getting a warning for "too many unpunished crimes."

Is it possible to win? Is it even possible to complete? I do not understand the obsession with crippling RNG events in "strategy" games.

Hey, thanks for giving the game a go. If your raided as long as one person on night watch you wont get a strike It seems you were unfortunate in terms of rng and admittedly the game can reach doom state.

Heavy shelling is a difficult hurdle on your first playthrough and occurs around the start of the game, try to get tunnels dug using 2 men, it may  be more risky but you free up an extra man. I always went for 3 only if I was gonna get a strike by the next day.

Through playing the game I tried to get players to find themselves having to prioritize the bureaucracy from their generals. Come at the game from the frame of mind that your there to appease your superiors, and not to increase  that win percentage and you'll find yourself reaching day 15-20.

The strategy is about people management, a trickery task then people think. 

In terms of balance I admit it probably needs more fine tuning I worked on this game for only 3days and there was only so much time to work on balance. 

Once again, thanks for giving the game a go :)
