NOBA
This is a small strategy game where you defend a city at night against an army of enemies. You place workers to gather resources. This helps you build training facilities to recruit and train units individually.
----------------------------------------------------
How to Play
It's best to start by playing the tutorial, as it should explain all the mechanics. You mainly play using the mouse via the UI and move the camera with WASD.
Defend your city over 15 nights.
----------------------------------------------------
Worker Management
You always start with 5 workers. At dawn you can send workers to the farm to gather food, to the forest to collect wood, or to the mine to gather gold.
At night, you will be attacked, and buildings can be damaged, reducing their output. The next day, you can reassign your workers. Buy more workers with food.
----------------------------------------------------
Army Management:
If you have workers that aren't assigned to a resource, you can recruit them on an open space. They will go out every night to fight enemies in front of the city. Each unit can receive two types of training.
To train them, you need to build a barracks for melee training, an shooting range for ranged training, and a support camp for support skills. Each combination of training results in a unique unit.
You need wood to build and upgrade training facilities in order to gain more training options. Gold allows fallen units to respawn, so they can continue fighting for you.

Could you ensure that the "Start the Day" button is not obstructed by the day/night cycle icon?
Additionally, I would like to have access to the damage, defense, health, and speed statistics of any unit that I am about to create or have already created.
Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell me what screen resolution you're playing with? I guess I should test it with different resolutions anyway.
I'll add the thing with the stats to the current to-do list, it'll be included in the next update.
