This is game is very fun. Probably my second most addicted game.
But the problem is that there isn't much people playing this game, and I think I know why.
I got my neighborhood friends to play this, and they all complained about the beginning of the game.
1) They didn't like long instructions, like "Upgrade Gold Smelter" bla bla bla.. (probably why there are soo much 10 famers and below) so I had to do it for them.
2) Some of them didn't get to log in at kongregate at all, and just lost hope and stopped playing. So an option for a client download should be good.
3) Newbies manage to get gold broke and not get to heal under 1 hour of playing. So add a give free gold for healing to people under 500 fame.
This is all I know why there isn't much people playing this game.
