Good idea weak execution
The idea of the games is great. Real time city building while attempting to fend of a dragon, but the main problem is villager management.
1. No total count of villagers
Also no count per job villagers are doing
2. No way to prioritize tasks
I attempted to focus on building a house while villagers were chopping trees but I could not add a builder.
My thought on this would be to have general villagers that would work as collectors of resources and automatically be balanced between resource collection and building. Then if you wanted you could add builders to a building to work on it more quickly, taking villagers off resource collection.
4. Villagers idle when there are tasks to do
5. When adding workers no message on where they are coming from or if any workers are available.
6. Fortresses are under powered.
I had 4 fortresses surrounding 5 houses, council hall government center, and 2 farms, but they were still being lit on fire. I tried increasing the number of workers in the fortresses but it still did not work.

Could be good except
I was enjoying the game until I somehow mistakenly turned off my hud. I couldn’t get it back so I exited the game and reentered and the last two hours or so of progress was undone. Two hours down the toilet because my hud disappeared. I ignored the agitating bugs like when the villagers wouldn’t even try to put out fires or when one or two would just freeze in place and never do anything again, or even when they would star working and need to navigate the width of the island to move materials two blocks over. But now I’ve lost a ton of xp and can’t get it back.

Good bones but buggy
This game has a lot of potential but there are some enjoyment killing bugs. The biggest of those is that the villagers will randomly stop working and never start again.
I got to the point of having 12 upgraded houses, which should house 36 workers, but I had less than 10 villagers who would actually do anything. I had plenty of all the resources. They wouldn’t even man the towers anymore.
At that point, the dragon burns stuff down faster than you can rebuild it because even though I put wells all over the place, the villages only put out 1 of 3 fires or so.

So many glitches
This game would be enjoyable but all of your hard work goes down the drain.
1. You need to keep your town from burning by telling villagers who aren’t busy to put out the fire. I could have everything set up right but there is a bug where your villagers won’t put out a fire even if there is a well nearby. This is the first thing that sets you up for failure because these buildings don’t cost coin they cost experience which can only be earned by RESTARTING your game.
2. Some buildings that help your village develop cost XP which you only earn when resetting your village from scratch. Normally this would be fine but the “lazy villager” bug that lets building burn without putting them out makes resetting pointless since you’ll be having to rebuild buildings often.
3. Your game almost never saves so even if you do somehow manage to put out all your fires, as soon as you close the app your village disappears and all the hard work you did to keep your village from going up in smoke becomes pointless so you just stare at the app on your screen while it mocks you because one day you hope the developers of this app will finally fix the bug but deep down you know that’s not going to happen.
So if you want to save time and frustration, play once, then delete the app.

One annoying issue
I know people have addressed this but can you please fix the problem with fires not being put out while villagers just stand by doing nothing, I love the game but when that happens it’s just unnecessary, my villagers house even burned down while he was standing inside it doing nothing about it.
