Highly suggest to be more aggressive against that close by gold mine early in the game. Also, you kept forgetting you could move your Knights 2 spaces each turn. Those lines at the end are a graph showing the relative strengths of the Blue, Red, Green, and Cyan player.

The big challenge is not just deciding what you want to do, but anticipating what the enemy will do. They may stay where they are, they may get reinforcements, or they may move out, then reinforce and attack you next turn. It think it's possible for two armies to move through each other and not attack each other on the way. Like Lux Delux, you can fight some very intelligent AI opponents.

Personally I'd prefer it if there were more unit types (like Axis & Allies), but it is what it is. Even though the tutorial scenario seems very easy, the bigger maps can be very challenging. I recommend you give the WW2 map a try.

Thanks for doing a video of this. I really like this game, I used to play it years ago, surprising that's it's taken so long to come to Steam. It used to be called Castle Vox, but they've obviously changed the name. Looks like they may have added new maps too.

The game is as simple as it looks, just two types of units, but there are much larger and more interesting maps than this. On the surface it seems very similar to their other game, Lux Delux, but that's basically a clone of Risk and this isn't.

The big difference is the simultaneous movement (WEGO rather than IGOUGO), which makes a huge difference to the strategy, along with the second unit type which can move two spaces in a turn. That may not sound like a big deal, but it is, it changes the character of the gameplay considerably. I much, much prefer this to Lux Delux and other Risk games. The WW2 map is a lot of fun.
