Here's an idea, been kinda thumbing through the forum..havent seen this yet..but, how about a PAY BUTTON..click the pay button after each job, whether harvesting or plowing get paid instantly. As far as the number of workers hired, I myself have seen this repeatedly, pretty silly i think..no concideration fo rthe hired hands, and it does seem to lag alot when working a farm. And ive seen alot of crops being left behind, why would this be with so many workers? As for the Fire button, would be a good idea. As for the game itself, its pretty fun..I'm on level 60 , got there in a short time. I'm hooked..please put it back the way it was..its way to slow now. I dont want ot lose interest in the game.
