Seems like pretty good game so far, already lost one match.

Things i didn't like:
No supply system for armies (other then they get rekt slowly if their home base loses population).

Naval invasions no different than land invasions cause sea hexes are the same as land hexes except for not having any stuff in them.

Accumulated lots of menace on one of the agents, 6 heroes started hunting him but could never catch up as long as i chose the correct hex to escape to each turn. Though i guess might as well not abuse the AI in such cases.

The game isn't low effort. Bobby just made some design choices that were not great for UX. Dude is supporting a dozen monitor resolutions no one uses. There's several other major UI issues also.

I recall playing the demo and not being able for the life of me to find some crucial element in the UI. Agent menace level, or organisation infiltration level, or something like that. The way you guys write, I guess it hasn't been fixed?

The UI still sucks and the tutorial doesn't point out key elements, so yeah. Tom Chick went *off* on the UI and tutorial and lack of in game mechanics database as well. Basically it doesn't give you the info you need on shadow and you need to go to the fan wiki to get that info.

There's now DLC for the game:


The thing that stops me from playing SoFG despite it being otherwise unique and awesome is the UI. Bobby really wants to support lots of shit-tier potato pc resolution sizes that cripple his ability to have a good UI. Otherwise I'd def buy this.
