The sounds when making wine or sausages are just awesome. Everything about this game is AWESOME. Had a group of fighters - died because I forgot to feed them in time. Had lots of servants who died when trying to bring food to my fighters. My workers were stuck waiting for stone to build roads but my servants were either dying or walking away with food. Game is awesome.
