For a better presentation and realism.


Is the same with correct ortography, why to write correctly the interface of the game if people is goingg to understant anyways?

It's a game though. Everything doesn't have to be more realistic to make it fun (indeed, oftentimes this makes it less fun). There are things done to try and be more realistic, but overall, it's not going to be realistic. Life is reality; this is Cantreality.

The presentation of the hunting is just fine, and it seems that many prefer it the way it is. You shoot an animal and either kill it or not. That's the important part of hunting, getting the prey. It's not going to matter to you or the animal when you're eating it how you killed it.

The game is slow anyway, why make every aspect slow? Leave some (relative) instant gratification in it.

If hunting is meant to kill animals then this is true.

When I want to gather eggs, milk or wool, I do want to keep the animals alive, not dead. Then the way hunting (or gathering animal resources) is presented is not right. Projects to gather them from present animals will be better.

If you're getting into the little bits, it doesn't mean that hunting needs to be changed into a project, just that some resources should be adjusted and different types of projects made to tidy up the presentation. Have a "shearing sheep" project or "gathering eggs" project. Not a hunting project. That won't change what you're talking about on the resources. If they made it into a project, most likely, you'd still only get those resources from hunting, at least currently.
