I could tell from the start that this was going to be a bit too deep and a bit too mobile for my attention span, but I wanted to comment to say it just looks really amazing and it's clearly a strong game underneath. As devs we don't have a lot of time in the day, so sometimes when I see something deep I go "Oh, oh no, I don't have time for this."
Your game provoked that response, which is generally a good thing. Most players are playing games because they do have time they want to burn on something, and your game looks like a very high quality effort to burn some time.

First of all, I'm sorry for the late reply!
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective, especially as a fellow developer.
I wanted to create something with depth, where players could build, develop their village and enjoy the combat system while gradually discovering more of the game. It's really encouraging to hear that the game gives that impression, even from a first look.
I'm still making improvements based on player feedback and preparing for the game's release on the Google Play Store, hopefully within the next week.
This will be my first game published there, and Google requires at least 14 testers to participate in a 14-day closed testing period before approval. If you happen to have the time, I'd be very grateful if you could join the testing group!
Thanks again for the kind words. Support from other developers means a lot!
Unfortunately I am unable to help as I have taken on a quest against "The Monster" Sundar Pichai for his removal of bean bag chairs and pool tables from the Mountain View Googleplex.
I wish you much luck! That's a crazy requirement from Google's side.... very strange way to handle spam. They should require 100 people to watch every video front to back before it gets indexed on YouTube. I would probably just pay people on fiverr if I couldn't spoof my way around that testing requirement.
