Big congratulations for getting this far! Well done! There's some novel ideas in this, which must be quite hard to do in a genre like RTS which leans heavily on familiarity.
Is it currently just single isolated random battles, or is there some sort of linked-mission pre-scripted campaign to take over the house or anything like that?
People always post really awesome ones and make everyone else jealous, so here's a disappointing one to make you all feel better:

There's a mildly red patch in the middle.
Though it is indeed some kind of light, and the local region is definitely considered Northern, and therefore it's definitely some form of Northern Light, it's quite possible it's not the sort of Northern Light we're aiming for.
It's probably just pollution or a stray bit of light from an event - though maybe I'm too early, and it'll look awesome in a few hours?
[Edit] I've just looked at this photo on my computer and it's far clearer - on my mobile (which I used to take it) the red was a barely visibly smudge in the dark sky.
I think it meant to say "Scrounger Guy Hands realises legislation loophole, which allowed him to steal billions of pounds of unearned money off the British Government and the British people, will be closed, leaving his company with a tiny fraction less of immoral profit, whilst still making billions in profit"
A "consent and pay", or "paywall" (or even "register-wall") website is totally fine and should be free to exist - but it shouldn't be indexed by search engines as a response to a question, and shouldn't be linkable on any form of social media.
This is good, but they could really do with running these for older people too.
Here's one I heard this week for example:
"My friend down at the bowls club said on Facebook that they're not even real immigrants, but they're special forces soldiers from the secret UN Army and they're bringing them over here to take over the British and they've all got really good shoes and mobile phones you see, that's how you can tell and they're all of fighting age aren't they?"
I also bought it and completed it over the weekend - about 3 hours I reckon. Certainly laugh-out-loud funny in a few places. Nicely surreal and funny, and very well animated.
It suggests it's better with a controller, but I played it just with the keyboard, and it was totally fine.
Not sure how well the humour will travel (it's set in a fictional Yorkshire town, I have mostly lived and worked in Yorkshire) - though I'd imagine it travels fine, because Yorkshire humour is obviously best :)
... "étoile de mer", which would roughly translate as "star of the sea" or "sea star" - the same as the Spanish "estrella de mar", Portuguese "estrela do mar" or Romanian "stea de mare".
Depends where you live in the country - but this looks about right for where I live. The portions aren't small, either.
The battered fish tend to be quite expensive, but otherwise the fish & chip shop is literally "cheap as chips".
It's a bit of an anomaly though - most other hot food places are more expensive, and you can even spend £2-3 on a small pre-packaged triangular sandwich from a supermarket.
The sliver of petty vengeance in me quite enjoyed this bit:
“There are a load of MPs I thought I’d be spending decades with in this place,” said another. “They’re really good mates. And almost all of them are gone. It’s a reminder of how vulnerable we all are.”
Given that they were responsible for this (or worse) happening to hundreds of thousands of people over the last decade and a half, I wonder if there'll be any life-changing realisations for any of them? What happens when a Tory learns about empathy?
I'd be interested to know how much of that is from reduced sales, how much is from products reducing the overall sweetness, and how much is the products being full of (controversially potentially worse) artificial sweeteners and other crap to replace the sugar.
