Hello again. I've made a pretty lengthy comment about this game a couple of updates ago, I think 0.4.2(?). Anyways I got some things to talk about.

I played this time on sandbox which allowed me to discover these things.

1. Is there or will there be a population limit? I gave up trying to find out after about 100 pop. 
2. This may have been talked about before but I don't always check comments about this so...Is there going to be any way to delete clay pits once they are used up? I ask because with the limited amount of water clay pits have to be built on or with the way farms are planted for ultimate production, water will be used for other things and not necessarily used for clay pits to be built everywhere.  Make sense?? lol
3. I did have 1 problem. This could be the result of a bug/glitch or it could've been me doing something wrong. I had built 24 farms all around water. Some got a 10 production, others got a 7 production. However, of the 24 farms, 6 of them the farmers wouldn't work. I had adequate granaries around the farms. Especially right next to the 6 causing the problem. If it had been a major problem I could've just micro-managed them but seeing as to how the other farms worked without micro-managing I just decided not to. 

Anyways I still love this game. I cant wait to see what this will become with future updates and more play time. Keep doing what y'all are doing!!!

I downloaded this yesterday and I absolutely love it. I love AOE and so now I love this game. However, there are some things I hope to see in this game. I know not everything will be incorporated but none the less. I hope I can help. Bear with me. this could be a minute. 

Just random questions:

• If I have a group of houses to be built, is there anyway to have a villager continue to build houses without me selecting every house and telling him to build it? In AOE if you tell a villager to build a wall, he will continue to build said wall without stopping until they are finished. Its frustrating and time consuming when I have to micro manage. AOE isn't perfect but it has its quirks. 
• Will individual units be able to upgrade or will there just be more powerful units? Like a slinger for example, will it be able to be upgraded to a more powerful slinger or will the next unit be more powerful than the last? A composite bowman is more powerful than a slinger so will the next unit be more powerful than the composite bowman?
• I haven't really noticed but is this game taking place in one age or are there other ages? I mean you go from copper to bronze when upgrading the units. Are the copper units an age and then the bronze an age or how is that going to work?

Now onto somethings I would like to see in game:

• Walls
• Guard towers
• Cavalry units
• Siege units (catapults, trebuchet, or any other siege units)
• Maps that would incorporate water for either fishing boats or naval units
• Allies
• Trade with said allies
• How about a chapel for priests. I had my scout out and he was attacked and I would've liked to have healed him. This could be done 2 ways: either priests are incorporated or we can have selected unit healed inside the tribe center.
• More advanced tech tree. 
• Will there be more tribes? I want to be able to, not only select my tribe but the tribes of either my ally and enemies. Or maybe just have a "random" button. 

There's more stuff I'd like to mention but I'll keep my comments short and sweet. I know this game is to mimic AOE and not be AOE at the same time. If you could just play AOE and take a lot of things from that, that would help you to understand what I mentioned above. I absolutely love AOE and I would like to see this game come close to being it. I took what I know from AOE and offered suggestions and I hope this helps.

I'm SUPER EXCITED to receive updates and I can't wait to watch and play as this grows into something more. I know as time goes on and I receive updates I'll more to mention so until then, It's been fun!!

If I could ask one more question. What's going to happen to the ones who downloaded this for free and played it and then made comments about this? Will it still be free to us while updates  are going on or will we have to pay for this at a later date?
