How can I capture a town? Like, once I didn't destroy a bandit or enemy town, and I took it over.
This is good because if all your towns are destroyed, you lose. But I don't know how to do it consistently.

Nice game, after several attempts I was able to beat it.
It is essentially an engine builder game. You design and try to balance your deck for the needed resources.
My tips would be:
* Get the cards that allow for drawing more cards.
* Too much variation in your cards can cause problems.
* If playing a card would put a resource close to bankruptcy, don't play it.
* Do not get too many cards that rely on cities or churches (because in the late game you need to build your own buildings.)
It feels like there is a resource ladder: food can be exchanged for money, and then money can be exchanged for soldiers, and soldiers can be exchanged reducing the enemies influence.
There are minus numbers in the left-hand bottom corner. I have no idea why sometimes they increase and decrease. As some others pointed out, these numbers also seem to change after playing cards mid-turn, it feels like a bug. In general, I wish the mechanic of the numbers was explained.
There is no way to replenish the forest, so you must be careful, I like this metaphor. There were times when I found myself considering using the lumberjack just to get a little more money, because I was close to bankruptcy, so I felt the pressure, even knowing that it would possibly make future turns more difficult, nice!)
Notes:
* At least on my laptop's trackpad, scrolling to flip does not work well, a card can flip it over and over because I scroll "alot."
* There is a glitch sometimes on the first game where you can get six cards in the firsthand (I think it is triggered by clicking through the opening cut-scene really fast.)
