Alpha12 introduces some gameplay tuning. Walls now cost only 1 stone. Their HP 
are reduced from 100 to 60 instead. This should allow easy construction of 
defense line while not make defense too powerfull.

In alpha12, harvesting speed (used by clearing) is reduced in all levels.

Please test alpha12 gameplay tuning and report your impression.

Thanks,
