I may seem dense, but I can't see how an online version would work. Aren't online games usually competitive, shootemups and the like? In online 'god' games, Civilization, for example, the object is to grab more land/resources than the other player/s. Are you suggesting the various sets of villagers should go to war?

If you are feeling competitive, you can try to get yourself to the top of the leaderboard.
