First of all, wow, wonderful art! I really like the colours in use here, and how clear all the tiles are just by looking.
I think I'd like this game much better without the weird realtime element - I found myself constantly fast-forwarding until I had 20 workers to build something with, then immediately pausing to consider my options.
Personally, I'd much rather just tap an End Turn button or something
(As an aside, why do workers die after building something...? At first I thought "oh, they work there!", but the same happens for houses, and buildings will continuously "consume" them - it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for people to be "produced" and "consumed" as resources)
