AI struggles to make good moves-- will always trade bishops for pawns from what I can see. This isn't necessarily bad, since pawn and piece loss carries across boards: maybe the loss of a pawn really is 'worth' a bishop. Nevertheless, the game barely gets past isolated pawn islands as opponents by the last level, and since halfway through you start giving me queens that seems a little bit like overkill on the easiness there. Also after beating the last level the game just sits on the map screen, which is unfortunate but understandable since it's presumably not finished yet, and there's only one-two shops in the game, as far as I can see. The one I went to only sold pawns as well, which would've been disappointing if the levels up to that point hadn't been easily clearable with King+Pawn without losses.
