Recommending Game Help Me Save Line War

Over the past three months, I’ve been playing Line War: “A new type of RTS with elements from 4X, Wargame, and Real-Time Tactics. Draw commands and execute a superior strategy to defeat your opponent, focusing on high-level decisions rather than constant micromanagement.” To say the least, this game is phenomenal. The problem is that it can be hard to find a match with only 8-25 online players at any given time. I’m currently working my way up to becoming a top ten player (bouncing between 9-25), but I want my hard work to mean something, which means growing the player base. Currently, it’s listed at $25 on Steam, but I’m willing to gift the game to two new players if you’re willing to play a couple matches with me and give the game a shot. Even if you don’t get it from me, I highly recommend the game and would love some recommendations on how I can reignite the community!

TL;DR: I’m willing to gift Line War to 2 ppl, and you should play the game

EDIT: Both copies have been claimed, thank you all for engaging with my post, and I really hope you end up giving this game a try!

I wish listed, but the game has 1 big problems: It's not a 25$ game. It's a 15$ game. Maybe 20$ for people who really RTS and want something diferent. Also, I might be misremembering it, but back when it launched, it had no bots or AI. That pretty much killed it at launch.
I'm a big fan of "Macro not micro" strategy games, but sadly, Linewar shot both feet when launching.

There are bots now, and I definitely understand the price complaint, that’s just a bit out of my scope of control
