Fun game. Still has some bugs to work out. I lost all control about 66% through my game. None of my movements worked with the mouse or the keyboard. I could only watch as others conquered my territory.

May be that you set too many moves and so were going incredibly slowly. Press Q to clear moves and focus on short and effective routes.

no, there's a bug in the game, I've encountered it too. Clearing the move queue clears all the orders, but they won't follow even a single move order. The arrow appears and then nothing happens.

Are you kidding me? You don't even watch the own ads you make your visitors see?

1. Ads are based on the user. Its unlikely i ever see the same my users see 2. It is against the adsense rules to do that and could get me banned I dont know how others do that, but you are supposed to not create ad traffic on your own account. Edit:// I realize how stupid this all is. Internet advertisment IS stupid. But it makes me money and keeps me interested making new sites and fixing old sites.

Isn't AdSense pay per click and not pay per impression? So it is ok to load impressions but not ok to click them?

This reminds me of xbattle or europa. Only thing missing is when you set a direction, it just works one. It's be less of a click fest if you could just click on any of the 4 directions any it would continue to feed armies. That way you have supply lines and battle fronts, limited more by strategy than speed of clicking.

Sequencing those is non trivial keeping with one move per turn.

That was a game changer for me. Sadly it exposed a major bug. Queue up enough commands it seems and the game gets stuck. Happened 2 separate times now for me.
