As fun as this game is - and it is EXTREMELY fun mind you - I still cannot play it without a certain sense of dread. I still remember my first village in the game. Or rather, what was left of it after the great winter-famine of year 12. Had I only planted the fields sooner. Had I only not made my fisherman a lumberjack. But alas, upwards of 75% of my village died. I suppose what I'm trying to say, is this game WILL punish you for stupidity hehe
