Thank you very much for playing and the detailed feedback :)
The mouse scroll thing sounds interesting I didn't know it worked that way in google maps. The more you know ^^
Regarding point 2. I struggled a lot with the combat mechanic and rewored it many times. I really like the simplicity of your suggestion and will think about it and play arround with it. Thanks a lot :D
Yeah thats the best strategy for the most part. With higher difficulties the start changes as you need to defeat some villagers before you can destroy a village. Also scouting and besiegen fortresses and castles can get quite useful, but with the current balancing (and minimal tutorial) its hard to get people to this play style.
