Oh I totally agree. It all started with "alright, hold the line... so like a line of soldiers defending a castle" and then I started adding archers, and arrows and priests and waves and formations and a tech tree... and I run out of time. Mainly because as I said, I had to do the art (which some of what I did I like and some I don't) and that took a lot of my time. If I had an artist I could have focused more on mechanics and balance but well, it is what it is. Lesson learned. Or I should have gone for something simpler, not isometric, but square grid base, 8x8 characters and so on...
Anyways, thanks a lot for playing and for your feedback!
