I think feedback is very poor, which makes game unnecessarily hard to get into. What should I do? What I'm lacking? Any intermediate goals? It feels like game is continuously screaming "DO SOMETHING!" what? "I DON"T KNOW! DO ANYTHING!"
Build farms and huts to create dudes. Have dudes and ore (from mine) in a fort to create soldiers. Soldiers fight off the bad guys. You win by connecting the orbs to your road network and have one of the big carrier dudes reach the orbs. (Reach/collect 3 orbs = win)
