I really enjoyed this game, the tables and turn mechanics were really fun and interesting. All the character creation prompts generated some very cool ideas. The forest really took on it's own character and the conflict with the incursions developed naturally through gameplay. The booklet itself is done beautifully, with the ink illustrations really capturing a timeless feel of the game.
I will say that it took me a long time to complete, even factoring in learning the rules. There was a lot of winning and losing of the same hexes, and I found I didn't get to half the map! Perhaps having a smaller/shorter version (as The Quiet Year has) would be useful?
Overall, a great solo game, awesome work!
Thank you for playing!
Your feedback is great, and I'll definitely consider a quick version for future releases.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

man, how is this not more popular! the game is real good, I am using it as a way to practice my writting skills, and after talking about it with a few friends, we may have figured out how to make it even multiplayer, its awesome! I really enjoy this game, hope you get the best of results out of this project. cheers!
(also, I found out tht the territory map is good, but imo a bit smaller than I liked, so I just added one row and it is nice)
