I think the game has a lot of potential to be 5 star but 1 thing that really needs looking at is raw materials. I recently got to copper production but out of the approximately 50 copper blocks mined, I only got 2 ores. This pretty much makes smelter and blacksmith useless. So the only way to get better gear is to trade with orcs, whom I'd rather kill  being that they are stinky orcs!  Keep up the good work Embark.
