In the game, is it possible for pirates to hijack a trade ship? 
If so, and the traders have already bought exports from you, do you still get to keep the money? Arrr, me hearties.
In the beginning of each city, when the first settler arrives and builds a crude hut, labor recruiters/citizens emerge from each looking for workers. Where do the labor recruiters come from if it's still a mostly empty city?
When you exit the game after a play session, you should be required to center your game view on the mansion. This corresponds to you (the ruler) going home at the end of the day.
If you build the mansion before there's anyone in the city, who puts up the mansion's flags? If it's you yourself, then the city population has to be at least 1.
Immigrants cross over ferry connections even if the ferries themselves aren't running. They build their own boats to cross. But why do they build such fancy boats for one-time use only? What should happen is this:
- If the ferry is NOT running they should build rafts---quick and rickety.
- As they cross by raft, occaisionally a raft should capsize. Then the family has to swim for it.
- If they have to swim for it, they should swim to the nearest shore.
- If the nearest shore is the one they started out from, then they have to repeat the process.
- If the ferry IS running, they take the ferry just like cart pushers and caravans.
- Normal ferry traffic has priority. Immigrants use whatever space is left over.
- Two immigrant families take the same space as one "normal" user. Thus up to 8 families can cross at one time.
- When the ferry is running, immigrants forget about rafts even if it takes longer by ferry.
Since the date is always "something B.C.", the numbers decrease as you play. Then how come the months don't run Dec, Nov, Oct, .... Jan?
Why do you always start the game as the ruler of the city? Why not a cart pusher instead? Here are your options:
- Push the cart.
- Stubbornly stay in one place.
- Take the long way.
- Complain about something.
How come bazaars buy and sell things but no money ever changes hands? The "bank balance" at the top of the screen never changes when bazaars deal.
Have you ever noticed the last two guys in a caravan look like elephants? (That's what I thought they were until I realized I was looking at their BUNDLES.)
How can you can keep fish in a storage yard under the hot Egyptian sun and not stink up the neighborhood?
How come you can open trade routes but not close them? When there's nothing more I need from a city, they just get in the way and insult me. At the very least, there should be an option to insult them back.
The gods can be a real pain in the butt sometimes. I would like to be able to insult them too, for example: Osiris you idiot, the flood's your job, why aren't you doing it?
Is there some way you can get the Egyptians to walk, well, like Egyptians? You know what I mean. (Now THAT would be funny.)
When there is a festival, how come all the workers who don't wander around just keep working? Aren't they supposed to get some time off?
Why isn't there some wildness and crazyness in the festival square during a festival? At least some special music? Just walking around the square doesn't seem like much of a celebration. Maybe someone should take their clothes off.
Sincerely,
Henipatra
