RoundCube
Awesome game! It would be cool if you could build walls.
Gluten
Thank you! I assume with walls you mean just blocks that would hinder the enemy from walking past a certain point or something?
RoundCube
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.

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.

Gluten
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.
RoundCube
Towers are too powerful.
wingerlang
Maybe add the swordsmen to that, 2-3 of those just annihilated like 15 of my arrow guys.
Gluten
The swordsmen and towers are really strong indeed, perhaps a bit too strong, but I think the balance is close to good enough. You just have to be clever with what units you make, at what time.

There is a bug also where if a bowman stands below and to the left some tile he can out-range a tower while they both have 7 tiles range. Fun fact, this bug was present in Red Alert.
Gluten
I think I met this bug myself once, the tower can attack the archer but you have to manually make the tower do so, the automatic attack doesn't reach far enough. Thanks for the reminder.

The sound is ocassionally glitching for me. Anyone else?

Wow, reminds me of Tibia... brings backs memories. I always _LOVED_ Tibia, but the difference in design was that Tibia was a little bit brighter and generous with its colours, you should try to make things more brighter.

It's like the RTS version of Tibia which is an MMORPG. Loved it.

Gluten
Yeah, I made this game with graphics from my other game, Zezenia, which is a MMORPG heavily inspired by my favorite game as kid, Tibia.

This is pretty cool.

Does anyone have any recommendations of similar games that are playable multiplayer without need for Flash and other nonsense?

Many thanks.

The developers have another in-browser game called Zezenia Online at www.zezeniaonline.com. It's an MMORPG with a similar style.
Gluten
Zezenia is a C++ standalone client, so not in-browser.

Added the public mapeditor feature today. Still an early alpha version with some rough edges, like complete lack of bordering and decoration, but should still be somewhat usable!
RoundCube
Awesome! The view of the map is a little small and there is no erase button. Also when I made a map the water was green
Gluten
Glad you like it. The view will be made bigger in the next version, and you can erase items by right clicking.

Water being green is a really weird problem, it works for me every time yet I see people getting green water in their maps all the time. Maybe I'll just say it's toxic water.
