I've decided to go the 'refine Age I' route.
I made some major changes the last week or so - removing some Elements completely (trees and boulders just give more resources when killed, don't create logs and rocks, etc.), and made a lot of tweaks to the costs of things.
I've also recruited the most cliché JRPG villain to play the part of antagonist: GOD HIMSELF.
He requires you to generate faith by offering a portion of your Food resource every spin, and does not like it if you fail to meet his quota. What a jerk!
My goal now is to do some more clean-up maybe make the UI a little nicer, and possibly add some more colors/textures... and then work on some sound effects, a Title/Menu screen, and see about implementing some music.
Want to give it a play and see how it's coming along (it might have some bugs/crashes in it still):

I'm happy to get any feedback at all!
Inwards and Widdershinwards!?
