So I have played this game quite a bit. If I said I didn't like it, I would be lying. But, it feels like the developer pushed out to sale and then walked away from it. I build houses, markets, etc...(things that are necessary) near all builds that make the village prosper. Yet, the villagers do not do what is expected of them a lot of the time. They barely manage a crop field at times, or start harvesting ALL of them, inexplicably, at 20% harvest. Then, you'll have three or four seasons of famine because they will continue to do that. So people die then, magically, they start harvesting like they are supposed to. I put multiple wells near all my housing neighborhoods to maximize the possibility of extinguishing fires. But, they will sit there near the wells cowering in fear while the fire wipes out the heart of the village. I get I could build differently by spacing my buildings out. But, that is not the point. They have more that enough resources near them to put out the flames....yet they don't. That is inexcusable. There are a lot of poor programming irregularities that left me searching for earlier save games because it was ridiculous how lame the game played out because of poor AI. The developer hasn't updated or supported this game, it seems like, since release. I have had this game for years and it feels the same as the day I bought it. This is unfortunate beccause this game could have so much more potential than what they have left the gamers with. Overall, outside of the inconsistencies I can't say the game isn't fun...because it is. However, I did become fed up with how topsy turvy the AI would be, which would usually cause hundreds of my villagers to die. It will probably take you a while to see these things for yourself, but that is for you to make the decision about. Fun? A lot of the time, Abosolutely. Can I recommend this game for purchasing? I won't
