Okay, has a lot of potential, but a LOT of glaring issues.

* AI needs to be really... REALLY worked on since the premise of the game is having a village of people working for you
- NPC's constantly bug you for something, weapons break and just idle, FARMING.. for the love of god .. please fix it. Why do I have to do all the weeding and tilling just for the assigned FARMS to do anything!
- Foragers, DONT bind them to a little circle and them just going IDLE when they finish an area, why is this bound? Let them forage, I'm constantly having to move the marker for them to pick.

* Pacing is a bit rough! I can barely keep up with the food and constant micromanagement for when the bear rolls in the base and kills me and few of my NPC's
- If the AI was better and less micromanaging - I feel like I could keep up
- Also pretty difficult to dedicate NPC's to base defense between night and day cycles

I think this game just needs a few more years in the oven and will be great. But as of right now I don't recommend.

What is this game like right now? You may ask. It is like a frustrating Valheim colony management game. I like colony sims like Rimworld, but that's because I don't actually play as a character. Having to micromanage a viking settlement while trying to advance in this game is tiring and even when you think you get the management right, something comes along and throws you off. This just doesn't mix well if you want player retention, its burning me out.

What's so frustrating about the villagers? :
Villagers complain about the smallest things and will refuse to do work that they don't even need tools for, like hauling etc.
Villagers will run away from the weakest enemies even if they have a sufficient weapon in their inventory to fight back.
Villagers will not use additional storage spaces available to them like the warehouse.
Villagers will not make their own basic tools and will make you run around gathering supplies to make tools.
Villagers will sometimes abandon work and go to sleep or leisure (This can be wasteful with cooking or bloom making)
Villagers are very dependent on you in general and will not do something unless specifically told to or under the perfect conditions.
You have to manually dress them in new clothes and armor.
Villagers need safety, but you have to look up online how to make them feel safe (patrols and barracks)
VILLAGERS WILL LET YOU DIE WHEN YOU ARE WRITING A REVIEW (death message said I was slain)

What needs to change? :
The management of course, please make them less dependent! I want to adventure and kill monsters, not bottle feed grown adults.
Provide players with hints for basic production buildings that give little side quests like, assign villager to X job, assign their priorities, decide what crops will be planted in the summer or autumn.
Markers should not require resources to build, I just want to be able to tell villagers where they should work for their own safety.
(Additional changes)
Hunters and ourselves should be able to carry our kills back to the camp and dress them there.

fantastic, death comes for us all and i like stabbing giant horned rabbits
