This was really fun! Couple notes: * In the tutorial, if you capture the city before the message about capturing it comes up (which is the most intuitive thing to do), the message just disappears instantly and you don't learn what cities actually do. * I didn't realize you could queue up WASD moves until like halfway through my first game, and it's pretty essential to good play. Would be nice to put in the tutorial.

did you not see the part about WASD moves in the tutorial? It actually is in the tutorial, but maybe the fact that you captured the city early skipped the WASD part

It's a lot better when you realize you can chain commands through your own territory. Some quick fun! It's nice that an early army advantage doesn't necessarily translate into victory. Capturing generals changes things, and fighting the wrong war can cripple you.

I'm still not really sure what chaining commands means. Can someone be more specific? I think it's a little hard for me to tell what's going on since the game seems sporadic, probably due to the server load.

Sure, when you do orders, they execute in the order that you click them. So if you very quickly press, square 1 to square 2 to square 3 to square 4, the army starting in square 1 will go to 2, then 3, then 4, picking up all extra units along the way.
