Very lovely and charming little game! I thought the gameplay was simple yet engaging and easy to learn / understand. And the inclusion of a mini-map that you could also easily interact with and command your tiny units was also a very good addition. I think camera on its own (when you simply try to use the mouse when reaching the border of the window was sometimes a bit inconsistent (like sometimes navigating via mouse would move the camera and sometimes it would not)). The visuals and the music combined with the gameplay made this into fun little warfare experience. I especially loved hearing the different variations of the main track playing for each dominion upon capturing most of the runes on the map (my favorite one being of Bryrie). One thing I feel that needs to be addressed is a bug where the music that plays upon starting the actual match stops playing after the first match (consistently on Windows 10),so in order to listen to these one must restart the game to listen to it once more.
If you have any considerations continuing on improving this, I think giving the AI some additional patterns to fight and strategize would really help its replay value (right now the lads go to attack the rune we start with (and sometimes move to the other ones, but then leave before even capturing said runes). It could be cool if said patterns could be tied to different dominions to indicate their different play styles.
I still find this to be a very interesting and fun experience with a lot of charm (even when it was made in a short time for a game jam).

Awesome game! Reminds me of Civilization wars
