Someone recommended Feudal Tactics for Android the other day and I've been hooked ever since.

This map here has prevented me from falling asleep yesterday. In my first attempt I ended up holding the north with a crusader stationed at the choke point against brown who held the south. But their army starved and in my naïveté I pounced on him to prevent my own starvation only to leave an opening for them to enter my territory and ultimately win the game.

I kept thinking about how I could have been more methodical and reached an equilibrium that let me gather more resources.

I ended up replaying that map (losing several times) to reach the same state. But this time their army didn't starve. Mine didn't either but we had a crusader against a crusader and no way to get around it.

I ended up gathering a ton of resources and taking a note out of their book. I opened up a small path form them to accomodate their whole army and closed it afterwards and used the opened up way to now more methodically conquer their lands.

Felt good.
