Very fun! The tutorial could be a little more verbose; I played through it and still only had a vague idea as to how the mechanics work.

Decided to play a 1 vs 1 anyways. I started out behind as I warmed up to the mechanics, but had a lucky streak into enemy territory and found the opponent general faster than he found mine. Even though my opponent had a larger army by double, my smaller army was able to move faster, and I captured his general when his army was one tile away from mine. Intense!

I want as little downtime as possible in my movement, so being able to use the keyboard to not only move my army after I have selected it, but then keep them selected so I can command them to move again would be great. Use the mouse to jump to a new tile to select it, and then use the keyboard to move it.

Bonus feature! Allow me to give a number to an army (control group), so I can quickly jump between my armies and move them with the keyboard!

Keep it up!



You can use the keyboard to move your army - moves get queued up as long as they're along friendly territory. Moving into enemy/neutral territory is more time consuming than along friendly, so part of the strategy involves conquering territory strategically to maximize mobility.
