Some minor fixes have been done.
1. Mouse over building shows building costs
2. Mouse over hero shows hero costs
3. Max heros = number of happy faces +1
4. Heros have an indication of their current roles, and also how far they are with the quest (simple % counter for now)
5. Fixed buy/sell button errors for food.

Hi Dirk
The prize giving was at the biggest computer game expo in South Africa. Its a yearly event called the Really Awesome Game Expo (rAge).
The exhibition hosts about 40000 people over 3 days. It included the XBOX 360 South African Launch.
Our Game Development community (http://www.nag.co.za/e107_plugins/fo...ewforum.php?10) actually had our own stand at the expo where we did presentations, game development demos and generally tried to encourage new people to try making games. I personally did a presentation on "Frameworks for rapid Game.Dev". Edition 7 of our free game development magazine was launched (see in my signature). I think I made PacMan 5 times over the three days in demos, and also a small version of crimsonland (all in game maker actually). Here are some more photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62099480@N00/
For three days we had about 7 people manning the stand, all volunteers who just want to grow game dev and make people realize its OK to make their own games.
At the end of the weekend we had the prize giving. There was an audience of 200 or 300 people. It might have been more though as it was the prizegiving of the tournamenets held over the weekend etc.
Being involved in something like this was absolutly amazing! Next year will probably be better than this year was

If only we had such events in Holland...
I must say I really like this game and I'm looking forward to see the final game.
Some few bugs I encountered while playing:
1# I don't know what happened but in the 4'th year and 8'th month when I pressed the 'End turn' button the game crashed. Windows told me that an error had ocurred and the game shut down. I haven't played the game again so I can't really tell you what happened
2# When I'm in the Market it doesn't seem to matter how much food,iron or wood I want to sell or buy. It just substract or add 5 when I press a button no matter what I've set the amount to.
3# When the king is so happy with me that I'm allowed to to summon a knight, it seems that I can summon as many as I want. I pressed the summon button 3 times (by the way it would be nice with a popup message that told me I had summoned a knight) and when I closed the King menu I had 3 knights. And since the knights apparently don't cost me anything at all, it can't be right that I can summon 3 so strong knights for free.
I hope you can use this information to improve your game. Anyway I can't wait to see how your final product is going to be. Good luck
Imagine I've written something clever here inspiring you to make something awesome. If that happens give me credits
