The game is a complex and time consuming as you make it, the issue here is about players being unwilling to accept that you are meant to specialise your account for a role in this game, which has always been the devs intention and has been stated from the very start.
Yes if you want to manage an account that can hunt, harvest, trade and has strong military and magic capabilities, all on a competitive basis with players that actually bother to specialise; then you will have a hard time, but that is not how the game should be played.
Regarding your views on how to make it more manageable;
I do not see how quicker build times will mean less work as it will mean queuing construction more often, nor can I comprehend how anyone would not see this fact.
A reduction in allowable 'cities' will do nothing that you can not do yourself, if you cant handle 10 cities then dont build 10. How many times (and how many threads will you make) will you try to have such a limit placed on other players? just cause you cant be bothered to put the time and effort in.
This is and always has been a long term game, setting delete times too quick would be VERY detrimental to its long term player base.
As an aside, from reading through your many posts here I would just like to ask WHY you play illyriad? You constantly suggest huge changes to this game (which so many people love so much) which would make it like some Evony clone. If you want a game more like Evony then why not spend your time playing Evony?
P.S. please put any response on this forum thread, rather than sending me a mail, I am tired of the lies that you send to me in mails.
