this might have been suggested already, but it would be really nice if when you start you have a leader who you can edit and he/she has a special skill called "leadership". it enables him/her to help others in there tasks not by doing them, but by making them be more efficient. also, when you select him/her you can move him around. finally you can make explorers. Explorers would be unique because like the leader you could move them around ( and by moving they walk you just use the arrow keys) they can explore hidden places in the jungles, look for treasure, (as suggested before, find a tower that reaches the sky) scavage caves in the Isola volcano (picture in PT) and explore ancient tombs of the villagers ancestors. you can only go on one exploration a day, if you leave the game while exploring you automatically go back, and finally you can switch between village view and exploration view. anf finally (yes the LAST finally) if there are sewing houses why not make your own clothes? you may or may not be able to wear them but if your explorer finds say.. onyx pebbles and dried kelp string, why not make a beautiful necklace for the chiefs wife? or if you find a chest full of foreign material (wool) why not make a nice hat for the stormy nights? you could drag and tie together to make great creations, and fully customize your villagers to the max. (and the same can go for the huts.
