Can we have a better way of identifying opponents. i accidently thought i could beat roo of all evil cause i wasnt paying attention.....now i have the coward badge...

Opponents should have a different colors, and if you mouse over them it should show a difficulty.

For some reason the input thingy for buying troops won't let me buy 9.
Other than that it seems pretty good.

I had that with 8, but other than that seems fine

You had enough money right?

Lullabye:
Will there be upgrades? like more units to choose from and so on...

If the game proves popular with you guys, we will update it periodically with new factions, units, badges, and perhaps expanded gameplay options (buildings, tactics, etc.)

Horde Limits at 50, not 100 as in rules.

Typo in the rules. All fixed now. Thanks!

When someone has issued a challenge to you, how long do you have to wait before you can order your troops to attack them?

We have reduced the time to for no response on a battle.

To... ?

Go an open it in Chrome, it's terribly buggy. Buttons don't work properly, big bits of images are missing and so on. Also quite slow.

On the battle screen, it says "Charger are strong against Shooter", for example, for each class, no plurals involved!

Where is the Fantasy genre...?

I have the same problem. Tried closing and restarting multiple times. No luck.

I've been challenged by someone, but for the last 30 minutes it's been saying that they're still issuing orders. How much longer will I have to wait?

Erana:

Yeah, would be cool to have one.

ORCZ!! But Ninjas are awesome, too.

Been stuck on

Ditto. But kudos on an otherwise solid creation, people. I love the detail put into the unit icons, and it's proving to be very addictive.

I'm sorry, but there's something odd about a war of the genres that is missing elves 'n magic 'n such...

We're gamers! We know the genre of medieval kickassery!

That keeps happening to me I can get mine to work!

Long load times

Probably not a bug, but I just lost a battle I not only killed much more of my opponent in, but also earned more cash. Reason is they attacked the same army every round, eliminating it. So they won from eliminating more armies, 1 to 0.

So is this the tactic to winning? Who cares about strategy and earnings?

Me too! I cant do anything else!

There should be a 10min challenge timer, if you don't set up the battle you initiated at that time, it counts as a retreat.

That would be great. Especially since the person who challenged me just went offline.
EDIT: And I knowit wasn't because I'm really intimidating.

Well, you lost a whole army. This might be considered a loss. Maybe it was a valuable army?

I only want one thing - ADD A PENALTY FOR RETREAT! The "Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkey" badge is not enough!

...Although it is tempting to retreat just to get that badge...

They should do something, I have been at that screen for about a half hour.

Not really fair or Van, Gremlin or me could just go round stomping on the greys.

Yeah, okay, when your enemy is TOO strong or too weak.

But otherwise, if the level is almost same, penalty should be here.

It was the army with the weakest defense. Was why they chose to attack it over the other two armies.

Okay...

Then I want a badge for making people run away from me. On equal level. Third time this has happened!

Can you please try again? I believe I have resolved this issue.

I just lost a battle to Daymo who has no troops.

Summary
No units were eliminated
New Troll gains $0 in cash, Daymo gains $0 in cash

Daymo wins!

The timer should be set at 1 hour to wait for challenge then it clears the status of the battle.

Could you make it something like 20 minutes? I'm all for allowing some thinking time, but an hour to pick five rounds seems a bit excessive.

Completely agree, 20min is plenty. If it takes longer than that, the person clearly isn't there.

I'm a bit sketchy on how to issue a challenge. Clicking attack just seems to bring you to their army screen.
