Great game for indie dev, unfortunately can't be taken seriously with the way the movement physics works: everything can just push through everything else. So the game map becomes very meaningless with bigger armies, nothing can stand in your way, you can just literally push anything together and annihilate it all with area-damage death-ball attacks.

The original ideas is combining houses and the second resource into one building, and forcing territory spread by tracking the "heat" load on a square grid, giving big penalties to "heat"-dependant buildings in the overheated square.

Despite the maps having resource crates the strategy is closer to Dune 2. Wait and defend while accumulating an army and then attack. But since defence towers are literally useless and even peasants destroy them, and they demand nouncraft costs investment and have to be spread out due to …
