I love "Galcon Fusion", this is a neat little remake. The "win a castle" sound lies somewhere between "awesome, it's so funny!" and "oh gosh, someone turn of that annoying sound"
The AI is pretty good, well done. Have you heard of the competition they were making with this game? "Program the best AI for Galcon Fusion"?

i have played both versions it is a very fun game the second is much more challengeing but also more rewarding. my origional strategy in the first version was to get as many castles as i could in begining and then i would have more guys and i could eaisly outnumber the last couple castles. but in this version it was not that simple and it seemed that as i took over there last castle they would take one of mine. and then i was in the same position again. over all its a fun game and i enjoyed it. good luck with it. perhaps a full screen option? for some reason i like my games full screen.
