A gift for DoctorCop. This is also a sequel to an old Ludum Dare entry. The underground caverns contain many secrets. One fateful day, a group of farmers have discovered a colony of gigantic mushrooms that, when consumed, granted them ability to create life without the aid of the corporations. The corporations did not like that, and successfully lobbied the government to outlaw the mycelial miracle. The farmers, feeling disenfranchised, started protesting the new law causing the police to move in, and try to pacify the farmers. In this game, you control the farmers. You need to construct buildings, collect resources and repel the police aggression. Controls

Very nice and polished. I was not able to beat it. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Very nicely done real-time strategy game. Also hard, it took me many restarts before I figured out an order of how to do things to be able to build an army. But then my army just got obliterated when I moved to attack, heh. I feel there is some bugs like some of my units getting stuck instead of walking around obstacles, and enemy tanks could shoot through walls. I also could not figure out what the green clouds are for. Still, it was a lot of fun just building my farm with a small army but I don't see how I could possibly win. -- |

This experience made me appreciate how hard it is to make an RTS, and I didn't even implement half of the "standard" modern RTS features. Pathfinding in particular is frequently derided in such games, and indeed, I can confirm that it's hard to get right (although I didn't try that hard): A* really only works well with a single moving unit in a static environment, it falls on its face if there's moving obstructions. I could have spent a little more time on it, but I consciously decided to leave a lot of the bugs in... for crappy early 90's RTS "charm". That said, this game can be won! It takes a bit of RNG luck, and just being relentless at attacking the AI before it overwhelms you.

Very, very cool! Feels really polished, love the graphic style. Find it quite hard though, I only tend to get a couple of buidlings up before I'm completely overrun! Will definitely be trying again.

SiegeLord, you made this game for me, I can't express the surge of emotions I'm having right now. I feel like I don't deserve this, but will take it anyway because I want to. I can't control my tears, I am grateful for this gift and ashamed for not completing my game on time. The only words I can say right now is, thanks for this wonderful gift and these farmers are really tiny. Thanks again. [Edit]:

This an awesome achievement! It's a cool RTS that evokes memories of good old Warcraft II or Red Alert.

Thanks for that backtrace, not sure what causes that (glad I enabled the backtraces in the release builds). amarillion said: Can you pause the game? Nope. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

It's just that somebody came to ask me a question while I was in the middle of an epic battle... So I pressed Esc... game over -- |
