I'm having a serious problem later on in the game when I have four different options on the screen during a fight. The hover resource-display obscures the action button and reduces the clickable area to a tiny sliver. I'm losing battles that I should be winning, a lot.

Yes, this was annoying enough that I eventually stopped. Two suggestions:

1) Add keyboard shortcuts, make them discoverable via an underlined character

2) increase the amount of space between the buttons so the tooltips appear over whitespace.

That said, I played for hours before giving up! Had tons of fun, thanks for making this!

Keyboard shortcuts would probably make the game too easy. But I agree, any game that keeps me going for hours has to be great!
I found it frustrating to play with a touchpad. I often accidentally started a click-drag or highlight instead of clicking a button.

It would probably be ok with a mouse instead.

Also, it would be really nice if there were arrows that increased/decreased allocations by ten as well as just one.
Or if there was some scroll action hooked up that fired if you were hovered and you scrolled.
