Pushing buttons

Most "weeks" (turns) in the game, all you do is push the "next week" button. Wow. All you can do is train more units, which when wounded in battle, never recover. They are permanently wounded. Combat has forces arranged randomly and your troops march mindlessly for the most part, past their opposing forces, with a few opportunities to move according to the cards in your deck. And the deck is populated by cards that do nothing at all except sit there and be annoying. All told, theres a lot here that just makes no sense thematically or design wise. Oh, and by the way. Your "empire" is destined to be taken over by desolation. Some empire.
