good with the potential for greatness...
I'm always a fan of these types of games. It was good and has the potential to be really great, looks like a good start.
I agree with the bug everyone is experiencing (perhaps setting a minimium time that you can bring it down to that it cannot go below).
There needs to be a cut off on where you can place items, houses etc... can be placed to cover the tool bar.
Future Upgrades:
1. More buildings
2. More plottable land (and Square versus retangular, perhaps scrollable too).
3. Building dependancy, i.e. 5 people in houses are needed to operate a mine, trees don't require people or whatever
4. Volcano eruptions? consequence of ownership
Future, Furture Upgrades:
1. Military style units?
2. Battles between 'cities' (PvP or PvGame).
Overall I thought the game was pretty good and just needs some more work :)
