    • “I wish there was a story mode for a specific tribe.”
    • “The rebuilding of structures is weird: you don't get to choose the order, and I don't even know if they cost resources to rebuild (it's not indicated or explained; I would have expected something for this in the tutorial mission). You have to reassign your villagers to the rebuilt structures instead of them going there on their own.”
