Love the concept, poor execution

Really wanted to like this one, but can't recommend it. The writing is okay with occasional typos and logic errors. Things seem to happen randomly. Important game design information is hidden from the player. Do I have enough troops to defeat the enemy? *shrug* Do I have enough strength to defeat the barbarian king? *shrug* The frequency of game over possibilities makes this game play more like a series of Quick Time Events (choose the right things in the correct order or lose) than an interactive fiction game with branching paths and interesting consequences for choices.
Fun "choose your own adventure"

I think this game is really fun, and the writing is hilarious and playful. Basically keep this on my phone to use whenever I'm killing time.
Needs works

This feels like a written version of Age of Empires. There is potential, but the author is advised to read actual fantasy novels to learn how to construct a consistent fantasy world and narrative. Also in need of editing. As well, access to all relevant game data would be appreciated. Cannot recommend at this time.
Best Choice Game I've ever played

I love these micromanage-kingdom builder games and this was the best one I've ever played. Well constructed and fun. Took me a few tries to get a good ending but once I did I felt amazing. There is however A LOT of spelling errors and grammatical mistakes but the fact that this game was so fun makes me overlook it's. 10/10
Awesome!!!

This was just like a game on pen and paper me and my friends used to play, we always called it "maps" (the main paper was a fantasy style map we drew). This game was so great I couldn't put it down. It did feel short but I know it's a lot of work. However it would be nice if you updated it and added more little by little so it isn't one of those games that you play once the delete. This is definitely your best game.
Amazing, but needs work

11/16/16 I love this game, however I wish there were more ways the story could go, and that it wasn't so easy to die. I had 14,000 gold and a good rule, but then all of a sudden I chose one choice and it says "you have died or lost control of your kingdom." That makes no sense, considering my leadership and rule was very high in numbers. Please fix this, I always die at some point in the civil war, and also maybe show a timeline so I can know whenever I am able to upgrade a skill of get taxes. 11/25/16 I just beat the game. To the developer: please add more to the story than the end you currently have, you need a longer story. Also, make there be more endings please.
4 stars really

Rated at 5 to offset what seems to be unfair reviews in my opinion. Few spelling errors and the like in text. Amazing concept. Has potential to be better if more descriptive, and historically accurate in some areas. Very, Very challenging game mechanics and story choices. This may actually be fun for some readers or really, really anger other readers. It has multiple Ok-ish endings that are disappointingly short. You can win at everything if you make the right choice. It is aggravating to play half way or more into the story and then die if you don't make the right choice out of multiple options.
BS deaths

Enjoyed all of the game except for the fact that when u die u have to restart THE FUKING ENTIRE game, checkpoints should be after every tax collection. Really enjoyed the game otherwise, top 5 "choose your own adventure" games. Although I love the reference to Varys from "The Great Tournament", it got me to replay TGT. Another complaint I have is the fact that I got stuck having to click next for 10 min because during the kings castle siege the rebels always had 104 more units than me, so I had to click next for 10 min KNOWING I was gonna lose bc some random bs.
