Somewhere in here there's the glimmer of a fun game. Unfortunately, the wait times get sizable very quickly and, unlike almost every other world building game, you can't assign a minion to do a specific task over and over, meaning you are always having to ask them to gather wood or water or whatever. It's boring as hell and the frustration builds quickly. The round up is, it's designed to make you pay to speed things up. Fun is very much a secondary concern.
