I like it! Just finished a v0.4.8C Beginner game in Arch -- first 3-4 games I starved almost immediately. This last one, once I got going, went well. :)

The auto-population growth definitely make it different from ~AoE games. End up trying to race Military units creation before the civilians take up the additional population cap. :)

One annoyance I do not miss from those games is having to re-seed farms.

Would like to see more upgrades for the various buildings/units, and larger tech tree, with pre-reqs. I'm sure you already have all this on your list.

Great little game so far, can't wait to see what it becomes. Thanks for adding Linux support early-on.

Thanks for the comment!

You can actually pause villager production if you need to by selecting the Tribe Center and clicking on the stop villager production button. Just remember to click resume when you're ready for more villagers!

Will definitely add more techs, buildings and units over time.

Hah yeah the villager spawning tripped me up a little, perhaps it needs just a few bits of introductory text to mention stuff like that?

Can't wait to see what other buildings and tech you add in!

Yes, it definitely needs an introduction in the game! At the moment, the game mostly caters to experienced RTS players who are okay with trying and failing a few times before getting a grip with the game mechanics. It does need a good tutorial to reach a wider audience. If anyone feels sad for starving quickly on their first tries, it happens to more or less everyone ... :)
