Interesting concept, but there really isn't enough strategy here to keep one invested for long periods and the game moves too slow to pick up for short periods. With a few balancing tweaks and a game speed adjuster this could be a neat game worth revisiting on novelty alone, but as it is Casterbridge is too random and light on content to justify keeping on your computer. 

Unfortunately the game seems abandoned, so those small quality of life options will likely never be implemented. A shame really.
