Man, i dont get why they are complaining...
i played the game TWICE... and beat it with three turns left in the end...
*advice for those who can't beat it*
focus on houses, resources, and workers for about 10 turns and when you get enough, upgrade your age then work on houses and resources and buy a workshop and weapons factory and from there if you cant beat it... i dont know what to tell you...
o and nice gameplay btw i really enjoyed playin the game
