I've loved this game for years. It fills a niche in video gaming that no other game does.
I find this game really compelling. It has aspects to it you really don't see in other games like the primary need to manage you population to maintain enough workers to help your village thrive. At the harder settings you really have to find the proper balance. It is actually a nice subtle challenge. It could use some more special events as others have said about this game, but at its core is a casual build game that doesn't need them. It depends completely on the player. Personally I love this game and think it is a work of art of a video game as it stands.
