How does the game fit the theme?
In this game, pacts are physical, profitable, and completely unenforced. The shared wealth you build is the ultimate prize for whoever turns traitor first. With "friendly" armies already at your gates, constant lies, and a winner-takes-all endgame, every alliance has an expiration date. Sooner or later, someone has to break their word.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Only the music: "Nerves" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution. Everything else was made during the jam: all gameplay code, the shaders, every unit and tile drawn in code, and all sound effects synthesized at runtime. No art or audio assets otherwise.

Cool idea how the pacts are actual envoys on the map instead of just a menu thing, that made the whole trade/betrayal part way more tense. Took me a bit to understand all the options at first, and I can see why some people mentioned balance, but the diplomacy setup is super memorable. Nice job, this has a lot of personality :D
Loved this! It is fantastic game!!!! I almost won but then the game crashed while I was selecting units. Will be playing again for sure though
Loved the game, but that's mainly cuz it has major polytopia vibes to it. It may have some balancing issues, but a hard game is nothing bad, just not for all tastes. Great work, expecialy for a 1 man team.
Felt like at some point I was unable to win anymore, as the enemy could produce more troops, so I was just delaying the inevitable
Took me some time to understand but won a game it the end! Really fun game!
It takes a bit of time to get the hang of it, but the game concept is very well thought out. Well done!
good concept, the menu and option were quite overwhelming to grasp the game correctly, nice potential!
