I didn't play the game very long so maybe it gets better but it just didn't impress me.  There did not seem to be any way to zoom in or out.  I could never get a look at my whole settlement, just pieces of it at any one time.  Time itself was either on or paused, no faster or slower speeds.  Buildings were constructed instantaneously, just popping up like mushrooms when you decided to construct one.  If you were short on workers you could just "turn off" some buildings and the workers would go to another one.  People were interchangeable, a fisherman could become an acrobat, a musician could become a farmer, etc.  Also, you had to put up "roadblocks" to keep people from wandering off aimlessly.  It seems like that was just a way to compensate for poor programming.  There seems to be a lot of micromanagement necessary to play the game.  If you are o.k. with that then the game is worth a look.  Otherwise I can't recommend it.
