I got every level done, but level 15 is poorly designed imo, I don't think there is really a way to stabalize. It would be possible if the big slimes didn't come out so soon or at all, but as it is you can't do much of anything to stop the enemy army. Ilike the effort though, and I'll be sure to post a huge review of this sucker once I wake up

I tried rushing and killing the castle to the right, but that didnt trigger the win conditions. I need to kill the big one at bottom right as it seems? It is not very clear in this game what you have to do to win... Should I rush flying owls and hope that they will teleport behind?

I've come up with some suggestions with how to make the game better!!

1. Add in upgrades!! here are some ideas (unit health +, unit attack damage+, building speed+, unit defense+)
2. more tree varients!! resource+ trees, these are a MUST imo, make it so you can only do it on sun tiles though (i.e. a tree on a sun tile will now generate 2 resources rather than 1 at a cost of 10) or something like that, maybe combine the +resource/unit cap with this new sun tree
3. Balance out fucking slimes, make their conversion less likely but have the resulting corrupted tree be stronger please.
4. add in some kind of command, even if it's just a bounty system like in majesty (you pay 10 resources when a tower is killed, effects unit AI so they move towards it
5. I really liked the bat bomb idea, wish it could have upgrades
6. add in another campaign where you get to play as the undead side (combine this with a multiplayer patch possibly <3)
7. add in incentive to actually "spread your creep," maybe a health regen bonus or a speed bonus with a negative bonus being on the undead's "creep"
8. make owls less good imo, i beat the entire game mainly by spamming owls because they're so good

Here are some suggestions for further additions to the game, these are just my personal suggestions
1. add in an underground option, so you can build tunnel entrances inside a "fort" and near the front lines to easily deploy troops
2. multiplayer support (obviously)
3. allow for community created campaigns/maps
4. maybe some units that ignore terrain (like gyphon riders/dragons from WC2, not the same mechanic as flying owls/ghosts

Thanks for the game though, it's really fun! I look forward to additions in the future!
