Agree.
Watchtowers to stay but the price is insane or increase the range at the same price or lower it a little.
Don’t mind paladin or not.
Fake time : After reading more imo if we can the price of the tower lowered or the range larger than no fake timer.
Scavenging to stay! For those that don’t have 100 hours a day to play.
Get rid of the barbs and other villages make it war. Full on war, player vs player, tribe vs tribe, alliance and or coalition vs alliance or coalition, maybe 1 for every 10 villages with no bonuses.
Victory conditions I like.
Add a new unit or two, change the dynamic of the wars, builds, something different.
