I don't know about you but I want to hire extra workers also. ;)
On a side note it was easy to steal from as he only had one tower not being worked on and the Colosseum.
Remove the flashing + sign by crowns.
We get it there is a deal going on but it's very annoying and needs to be gone the first time we loaded the game after the announcement.

To be fair there have been a lot of app issues with ios 9 and that's why I always wait to upgrade like that for awhile.
Granted it's been awhile but it's a issue on apples end they have to fix for their game and that can take awhile.
First off all nations are better at certain ages then others so complaining about the growing stages is pointless if you find the earlier ages harder for them then others if that's what you were referring to.
