Lovely game except it has ONE mayor flaw.
Rushing.
Seriously, if the match start order your miners to mine and DO NOT pray!! Give your starting units order to capture the middle tower and build standard infantery and archers( more infantery if you haven't unlocked those yet.) After you take the tower upgrade your basic income and start building archers,speartons and basic infantery. Keep pushing.
You will kill the starting units of the enemy and you will likely utterly destroy their income when you reach the enemy base. Then they want to train units but it will be slow because they don't have anything anymore so it doesn't oppose a treat anymore. Eventually you will kill the statue with ease.
Works basically with every difficulty however it does get slightly harder to do the rush.
Conclusion; Good game,nice voice-acting old school stick animation and interesting boss-fight.(which is also easy as pie with the rushing strategy.) So if you fix the rushing strategy for not being totally overpowered this would be a perfect game.
