    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this. The map is different every time you start a new game. So when you start a new game, go to your command wheel (to give orders) and zoom the view out to check all the local resources available. If you don't like what you see, simply restart. I personally like to have rabbits and lots of stone nearby to advance as far as I can in the demo. I also try and get all 'positive' trait rats as workers (i.e.: Fun, Frugal, Hygiene, etc.) and ignore the negative rats. Lastly, building a masonry will help you get better structures. A second sawmill helps split work for getting both sticks and planks. 🙂

    The more hands-on approach makes it seem like a perfect contender to add more in-depth psychological/social factors where you can/should manually talk to your citizens and befriend them animal Crossing style. The cute designs already scream individual investment in certain characters/names compared to other city builders where workers are mostly just a function with necessities.

I liked the setting of Ratropolis so much I ran a shortish Powered by the Apocalypse game set in a frontier town that would eventually have to deal with the aftermath of Ratropolis (the zombie rats), refugees, "feral" rats, political machinations, and eventually weasels. They found the weasels early.

      I agree authoritarian probably not the right idea here. In a DF style game people just kind of collectively do whatever needs doing and take what they need, with the player's influence being a bit abstract. Here you play as a specific person - a royal even - who personally dictates what work is to be done by whom and even who gets to sleep in what bed (if any). Also I've not looked at the laws too hard but I'm pretty sure you could set some way worse policies than "to each according to their need"
