I would love to see the elder totems back again. They really give one a sense of accomplishment, give you something to do (re-arranging) when you've "beaten" the game, and make the village look lovely.

Here's my million-dollar idea: It would be really cool if we could toggle a "hard/soft" totem option (say, by right clicking). This option, when turned to "hard," would not allow villagers to walk right through the totems as they usually do. The "soft" option (the current format) would allow for times when they're just decorative, and you don't need the villagers bumping into stuff left and right.

In addition to being somewhat more realistic, this option would allow us to actually *use* the totems. Imagine being able to "block in" the scientists at the table, so they were forced to do work instead of laundry! We've all had times where we needed to "round up" or isolate a group of villagers. Wouldn't it be great to be able to corral them with a circle of totems and keep them from wandering off?

Pretty please? *bats eyelashes*
