This game has a lot of potential given it's already this good with this little content.

My biggest issue is that accidentally placing villagers in an empty spot opens the building menu, which completely disrupts the gameflow and is pretty much the main reason for loosing.

Edit: also there's a this annoying feature where target selection happens before attacking, so you gang up on 2 enemies with 8 archers and 5 of them don't attack.
