Needs some tweaks
While I overall like this game, there are some issues that make it too frustrating to keep playing. 1. People starve to death while food is sitting in storage. 2. The priority tool clearly doesn't work. I'll raise the priority of a building's construction only to watch workers carrying resources it needs walk right past it and commit the resources to a lower priority project. To be clear, all the resources the project needs are in storage, but the workers will often wait a few seasons or even a year or more before they'll carry the resources to the project so that it can be built. 3. Theoretically, you can do advance planning by putting down a building footprint and then pausing it. In reality, laborers will ignore the pause and again put resources into that project instead of the one they're supposed to be giving the priority. 4. If a tornado hits your town, it will stay there for a considerable time (weeks? months?) slowly chewing up your buildings. Despite it's slow place, your population will walk right into the tornado and get killed. The hang time also means it could be a season or longer before you can start work on replacement buildings. All in all, there's too much luck and not enough skill involved for a game that takes hours to play.
