@19James89 I had this issue as well. And the solution(reducing the directx version) wasn't a user friendly fix(Im not sure if I had to manually edit the configure the registry or a config file).

And it's not about inferior graphics cards. I have a GTX 670, maybe newer ones or drivers.

@darks88 I wish there were more to the game, mainly more things to build. But there is a lot of subtlety to it. Randomly placing a bunch of buildings and hitting fast forward will quickly result in a dead village.

A number of things need to be managed:

Distribution of jobs

Inventory of each good

How many of each building type you have

Distance of each building from everything it interacts with. (Houses need to be near work and sources of firewood, food and herbs, production facilities need to be near storage locations and houses). If a worker has to walk to far it will slow down production and may starve or freeze to death.

After a few failed towns I felt a sense of accomplishment.

@mariocerame @kitmeep What would they steal? They all take whatever they want(tools, food, clothes, firewood). There's no gold or anything else of value and if there were what would they do with it?

And they may be a bit preoccupied trying not to die to worry about stealing things.
