I play the game for the sake of it and if you're a serious person I would not recommend it. it is unrealistic in the way of the time it takes to make I items like Bows for Archers. how in the world could it take 6 months to make one Bow? It is fun to play Castle builders but there is no challenge. I think its a game of extremes, either no challenge or all challenge. For some that ok but if my computer had ears it would have crashed by now. It can be easy and it can be difficult. This is definitely a game that needs cheat codes or a trainer but there are none, that I can find, that work anyway.
a useful thing that I found is if you can supply food for your people in like one of the mission for instance all you have to do is put a stop on the food you have, if any, and let all you people leave, because 4 people have to stay. you can put a hold on the food so your popularity stays at zero and have those worker make food. in a jam I would suggest bread because one thing of wheat makes one thing of flour and one thing or flour makes 3 or 4 min loaves of bread. but you don't even have to do that.
They have to stay so you don't even have to feed them.
I also tax them all the way. 4 people bring in 8 gold each month.
whe you don't have to worry about food you can make all the things you need to stay in the game like weapons and such...
Sorry if this is no help...I've never done one of these before..
