Thanks for the feedback! We do have that planned in the future. We also have big plans for the missions to revamp them, they are mostly a tech demo as is.
I disagree. If you have 12 peasants and 12 workers, that leaves you with 0 room for recruiting soldiers or engineers. And it's better to bring attention to it earlier rather than later when you're getting attacked.
2. Yep, not implemented yet.
3. Will make it an option as some people like it.
4. Will fix.
5. I'm not sure why we even allow destruction of armories in the first place, because I don't think we handle that gracefully. There is a separate bug where units will pass through buildings placed after they've found a path, so it kinda makes sense.
Thank you for these reports. Our automatic error reporting has caught these issues and reported them with the crash dump. We're working on fixing these.
It is impossible to reach 100 popularity right now, you're right. It's intentional but it will become more apparent once we add all the buildings and systems that influence happiness.
The trees swaying is intentional to preserve performance. We will look into an option to keep it on (modern GPU's should handle it).
The perlin noise idea is a great one! We will try it out!
We're first trying to get all the functionality of Stronghold before we expand on it's mechanics, and while you can see subtle differences (wheat farm uses a different layout, the windmill has sound effects), the biggest one is the map size. The default map is currently 512x512 which is bigger than the biggest of stronghold (400x400), but we support up to 2048x2048
