Awesome game! It would be cool if you could build walls.

Thank you! I assume with walls you mean just blocks that would hinder the enemy from walking past a certain point or something?

Yeah you would build the wall and the enemy would have to destroy it to go past. And if you built a gate your units could go through but not the enemy.

It would be great if I could join another game after surrendering without waiting for the game I just withdrew from to end.

Neat, but I hate the tibia perspective.

Is it possible to kick someone from a game/lobby? There is one guy inactive who is holding up the start of a game.

The graphics could use some tuneup in general. :P Unfortunately there is no way to kick anyone yet, so you'll have to setup a new game if he refuses to wake up.

Towers are too powerful.
