struggled in the beginning. then once i got the concept it was a breeze. got all mines working in the end and cleared the board before i went for the final victory with some 1000 guys and 100 soldiers.

get rid of initial roads. rebuild short paths. connect mine to fort.
connect farm to huts. somehow connect the buildings altogether with the palace.
2 huts per farm, they snuggly fit left and right of the farm. 1 fort per mine with 2 short roads.
it's key to generate lots of people quickly. use watchtowers to extend the border. find the other mine locations and build another mine and fort combo.
Thanks .... experienced gamer here, playing web version - I did struggle with getting the knack of path-connecting new hut buildings - first 3 games couldn't quite get it ! (They were still greyed out, even after I'd seemed to connect a path to them properly).
It seemed the trick was to start the path _from_ the hut.
Anyway - after figured that out, fun game, well done.
Very good game. Graphics, music, ui, concept, ect... Nothin to really criticize. It's a solid all rounder! I got totally destroyed on the first game but after trying different things, I ended up in a perpetual city that you could walk away from and it would survive indefinitely! I wonder why there's a cap of 100 soldiers? It's not enough of an upper limit to prevent this strategy. In fact it seems juuust about enough soldiers for it. I had watch towers all around the border, and could mess around with roads and supply chains as I pleased.
Not a very organized infrastructure lol. I learned as I expanded!
Having this structure for my final answer about How to finish a run in 10 minutes:
See the tile right above the Solar Chamber? You can build a road to connect it, while the key is that: just don't. For the big guy will smartly take the very first passable path towards the orb instead of the shortest way, which means building extra roads may cause about 5 more minutes at worst waiting for him wandering around the whole map.
Nice game, each time learn something new and a better way to manage until winning.
Was confused at first, until i get the idea of connect farm to a point, and that point to houses to have more people. For soldiers, connect mine to point, then that one to fortress. From there, learn ways to manage more effectively.
Only bug found when "Quit to title screen", "quit game" or "quit to desktop" (on browser), apart from some sound glitch at starting new game
This is a problem of your browser - you can't play the game in the browser if webgl is not supported. You can however download a windows or linux standalone. No reason to give a 1 star rating :(
Are you not sure what to do now? If that's the case: there is one last orb to the top right. You can scroll with arrow keys, wasd or right click drag to get a better look. Connect it to your road network, same as with the other orbs.
So, I have created a city that lasts indefinitely. So, 1st big design issue is the map. I can't seem to explore it. I've tried click /drag, ctrl, and a number of other options. That makes finding the third orb super difficult. The screen seems to want the map to be a certain height. so, making the window narrow allows me to see the left/ right edges of the screen, Finally had some luck with a very small window to see the rest of the map.
2nd, I have 200 guys who can't find their way to the forts. Not sure how to control for that.
I think feedback is very poor, which makes game unnecessarily hard to get into. What should I do? What I'm lacking? Any intermediate goals? It feels like game is continuously screaming "DO SOMETHING!" what? "I DON"T KNOW! DO ANYTHING!"
Build farms and huts to create dudes. Have dudes and ore (from mine) in a fort to create soldiers. Soldiers fight off the bad guys. You win by connecting the orbs to your road network and have one of the big carrier dudes reach the orbs. (Reach/collect 3 orbs = win)
I am using MX-15 Debian Jessie 32 bit with Nouveau 1.0.12 and Wine 1.6.2-20.
I have more than 300 games on GOG that I can play with it. Among them for example Anno 1404, Tropico 3, The Guild 2, Banished, Botanicula, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, 7.62 and Shadowrun Returns.
Hehe, good job, stable economy! :D Build a road connection to the golden orbs. Then a big orble will start from your solar chamber, to gather it. If you get all 3 orbs, you win.
Very well done in general. Requires careful planning of roads which took several failed attempts to figure out which felt like a good puzzle.
Orrior AI seems to need a little help and the cap at 80 makes it quite hard to actually defend both sides of the base. Either that or a bug was keeping 80 from actually being produced. It would be nice if they prioritized enemies within the watchtower range. Or maybe it's that the garrisoned troops aren't actually leaving the towers? When a tower is destroyed, suddenly a stream of 20 new Orriors are produced from a fort. Cycling through supplied forts would help rather than producing out of the same fort. I kept having half the map cleared and the other half munching up my buildings with Orriors maxed out and multiple watch towers on both sides.
Positive: I love the concept and visual direction of the game.
Improvements: Cannot beat this game, or even move beyond just collecting the first orb. Even with going ham on the huts and farms (I can fit four) I can't produce enough warriors to reclaim overtaken spaces. Soldiers tend to ignore the closest Purants and choose less concerning targets. I'm going crazy trying to make it work.
Hmm. I'm enjoying the gameplay, but it's... frustrating how my orriors completely ignore the watchtowers and go hunt enemies exactly where I don't care about them at all.
I hope you develop it further. More resources, more units, more enemies, more levels.
Only problem I saw was that sometimes your soldiers go to one place on the map and you get overrun on the other side. Placing/removing watchtowers should force your soldiers to stay in that radius so they don't wander off.
Edit: Just saw the goats and the knights in one of the gifs. Looking forward to see it in the next update. Or is there a way to build them right now?
Your update helped me make some progress and I'm intrigued enough to keep trying! I gather that once I get the hang of it I'll be like, ooooooooh. Or it's just a really intensely hard game? Ha. It's fun though. I like the aesthetic/art/music/autobattler thing going on. I'm over here thinking like warcraft 2 but I keep remembering that I can't actually move the orriers myself.
How far are you getting? Are you collecting an orb? Are you getting overrun, or quit the run because you think it is lost?
Just trying to get a feel for the balance - it might very well be too hard right now.
It's not really about placing workers, but you have to take care not to use all your free orblings on the paths, because otherwise there won't be any left to go to the forts and become orriors. The immediate goal is to maximize orrior output - so you need some forts that are well provisioned with orblings and gemmstones.
I got it solved! Once I got a tip in the discord to go ham with making farms and huts, I was able to beat it on the first (re)try.
Before I got this tip I was going until overrun and that happened before getting the first orb or just after getting it. I wasn't able to keep my first mine for long.
I think rather than dialing back the difficulty, it be better to introduce parts of the game in stages? Not sure how games are made so I realize that might be a silly suggestion. I love your stuff btw. Great games.

lovely game
i have a laggy computer apparently so i could not enjoy it as much
This is such a cool concept and so well executed. The animation are lovely as well. Good job :)

kinda sucks that you cant rotate the buildings

Very fun once you figure it out!
Spoiler alert!!!!
This game is hard until I find this structure...
and it becomes a super easy game...
The ratio I find is 4 forts per mine; 2 huts per farm, and maximizing all workers on these routes and none else where gives you super easy win lol
Nice game!

There's not enough space to build anything though
A very nice game, especially considering it was made in 72 hrs!
It has an old school flash game vibe.. brings me back almost a decade. Good times.
What a pleasant suprise. Hoping you keep developing games.
this game is the closest we have to an attack on titan strategy game and i love it, wish there were more games expanding on this concept
Please make it 32bit ( if Possible ) it look like the game are good
what do you mean with that? Higher resolution, more colors?
32 Bit OS support Because i have Windows 7 32 bit and The game require 64 bit
ah, i understand. Are you able to play it in the browser?
i can but i want to play it with this downloadable version
Not even the browser version works for me.
I am using MX-15 Debian Jessie 32 bit with Nouveau 1.0.12 and Wine 1.6.2-20.
I have more than 300 games on GOG that I can play with it. Among them for example Anno 1404, Tropico 3, The Guild 2, Banished, Botanicula, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, 7.62 and Shadowrun Returns.
But Orbles does not work. *?
Hehe, good job, stable economy! :D
Build a road connection to the golden orbs. Then a big orble will start from your solar chamber, to gather it. If you get all 3 orbs, you win.
I only see 2 golden orb tho
You can scroll through the map. The last one should be out of screen.
How do i scroll?
WASD or hold right mose button and move the mouse.
Excellent resource management strategy game. Just 3 resources (if you include people), and just a lot of routing stuff around. Very enticing!
Hi bippinbits
hi :)
Hey!, tried your game and two others in a video. Liked it, quite difficult at first tho.
wohoo, thank you :)
I love it, it's not hard when you get it but your need your time
Tricky but really cool!
Scary. 😁
Hey mate! Please check your instagram :)
which instagram? Don't have an account i use, maybe it's a mixup.
This was awesome. Once I got my settlement working well, and my Orriors more than about 20, it was smooth sailing. Excellent job for 72 hours.
WAY TO HARD -_- but I LOVE THE CONCEPT (perhaps make the early game easier)
nice, very nice
sometimes Warrior stop walking they just stay somewhere attacking in the empty forever...
Really good quality game, loved it. The only problem being I can never beat the game, it keeps crashing when I am winning.
Strategy[SPOILER]:

If you are strugling with the game just keep building farm and huts together in all the free space, basically grind population.

Attack on Titans + Settlers. Very cool.

Is this a worker placement game?
