Default First Game


Hello, This is my first, 'actuall' game I have made.
I am a beginner to visual basic so please do not expect anything special!
If I could get some people to give it a quick overlooking to tell me what to do better on it; I would appreciate it!


Quick Discription of how to play the game-
In this game you have to make a city to kill the enemy's city.

BUILDINGS-
Industry- Increases how much money is coming in
Munitions- Increases how much munitions is coming in (requires one worker)
Walls- Helps protect against attacking troops (requires two builders)
Repair- Repairs your city (requires two workers)
Gunner- Kills attacking troops (requires a soldier)

Units-
Worker- Increases how fast money and munitions are coming in
Drill Sgt.- Increases how fast Soldiers are produced
Builder- Increases how fast buildings are made
Soldier- Used to attack or defend (requires a Drill Sgt.)
Soldiers- Same as soldier but produces 5 of them (requires 2 Drill Sgts)

Defeding your city-
To the top of the city screen little green men will appear (they are the enemies soldiers) simply click them a few times to make them go away, they do drop the city health if you leave them there.
Artillery may also appear, these will destroy your walls and industry
To do more damage to a unit (less clicks) add more soldiers into defense by
going to Unit Roles: and putting unassigned soldiers into defense then press ok.

Attacking-
Put soldiers into Attack in Unit Roles: and press ok to drop the enemys city health.

If there is anything i left out please tell me,
I hope you enjoy the game.

I guess the 10 popups would be a bug, I can add a try again button, I had someone else tell me to add that also.

oh and just a small little nitpick i have when buying a tower or soldier can you change them from building i found it odd i had to build someone maybe like hiring or training for soldiers and building for uh buildings

oh but overall these are games i dream of making in the future like 2 or 3 months how long have you been using vb

oh and if your planning to make another version a contents and mini tutorial might be nice
