Ruthless Conquest

Fun except for bad mechanic. There are "special events" that really make the balance terrible and you can't turn it off. Makes it to where you either have to guard against it or it tips the balance of an otherwise good game. It'd also be nice to have the ability to replay a map, but they're always regenerated with no seed given. If you could turn off the special events, this would be a much better game and possibly 4-5 stars.

I actually think the game is pretty fun. a good pastime for sure. i only have 2 gripes. 1. sometimes I'll be busy and get off the game for a bit. and the game will end itself. that kinda sucks. 2. Sometimes the Antarines, or the white ships attack more then they need to. i almost one a game and was attacked twice in a row, losing me the game. and sometimes the reinforcements seem to take a while. but maybe these are just nit picks. overall the games pretty fun

One of the most delightful games there is. No ads, no BS, simple to pick up, difficult to master, and even when you're good you can still lose. As a tip to players trying to make it into the more difficult settings and getting rocked by random events: satellites are your friends! Other tactics: if you are in a strong position against multiple players and reinforcements come for someone not adjecent to you, turn off your satellites and let them through! The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
