Well, I like it I spent about an hour maybe a little more playing it, one small complaint was when I was click on the menu on the left hand side it would also be clicking the map and I'd start building when I did not intent to build.

other than that small bug it's ran smooth and over all understandable, I personally think there should be more of a Civ/settlers feel to it but that's just my opinion not too shabby it was potential

Thanks for your feedback Dr.Worm! The game is intended for educational use, so we are aiming to keep everything realistic within our data. That being said, I'm happy you enjoyed the game and hope you continue to try our upcoming releases!
