Oh, and while I appreciated the taunt of the crate on the beach, finding one piece of the gong in it was pretty lame and disappointing. I appreciate it might have been a joke from the developers but why not put in something else as well.
A "rosetta stone" or "dead sea scrolls" - then they could read the writing on the wall.
Simply no thought put in at all.

Also, the training time of some it very excessive and just annoys me. I don't see the need to make a villager do something 10 or more times in order to learn something.
