But this would kind-of suck

They should just make the world have even more important and rare resources after all the metals are found.
Steampowered railroads would be sweet. the oldest kind of muskets too, the ones you need a stick to rest on cos it weighs so much.
Cavalry..ofc.
Crossbows..
Spears!?!! (oldest weapon ever!?)
but basically, fundamental changes to the village system need to be made...a Village should (IMO) BE a village, people living near each other in a VILLAGE.
Clans could be more spread out, but have less benefits then villages.
Also villages that one player can uphold should end. Or villages people can go out of, and go back in grind some LP, and go back out just to keep it alive should go away
