Nice work.

\nI really enjoyed the base mechanics - I don’t think it’s explored fully, but the rough idea is already quite fun.
\nYou can ignore some of the events by maximising your luck which will allow you to have more points at the end.
\nGraphics on the pictures are pretty good and the interface is quite simple and easy to understand.

\nHowever the idea and the portraits are amazing, good job :)

\nIn my opinion, the graphics are what make this game stand out. Really well done on designing the portraits and the menus and buttons. It really gives a nice atmosphere.
\nIt’s too bad there is no audio, it’s definitely the type of game you’d like a nice medieval background music to chill to. Otherwise, you take the risk of your players getting bored.
\nI felt that the game was missing a bit of tutorial at the beginning. The gameplay and idea is great, but I felt thrown into it without guidance, and had to rely on tests and failures to understand what works and what does not. A bit sad!
\nGreat submission overall, really well made!

\nI really like the UI and the pixelated portraits. I liked that all the information was immediately visible without having to open menus and tabs.
\nIf I would suggest something, would to to somehow apply some randomness to how the pictures look, like changing the color of their clothes or hairs. At the very least, avoid repeated consecutive portraits.
\nIt wasn’t clear to me what the outcome of the events was, whether I lost or won.

\nGameplay: it’s a little shallow, it could use a tutorial to make the connection between the marriages, the health of your empire and the goal of the game clear.
\nOverall a very original cool game!
