I just wish you could queue up the tasks by clicking on all the chores so that the worker then completes them one at a time. This one, you have to wait until the fellow returns back to the house before sending him out again. Not such an issue if you have purchased additional workers but annoying just the same.
A buy for me despite this. 
If you've played the hit game My Kingdom for the Princess, also by Nevosoft, it works the same way. You can't queue tasks and have to wait for your worker to return to the main building before you can issue another task (that's why it's best to have more workers).

I'll agree with all the positive reviews, and the comment above, this feeds the TM need for sure, I loved Abigail, My Kingdom, Island Tribes 1 & 2 etc.
-- the only thing I don't like is the inability to cue up multiple tasks in a row, but that's not stopping my enjoyment.

This is a lovely game. Similar to MKFTP with the addition of buying/selling resources, building a farm and an extra challenge. The strategy is deeper than I originally thought. To win an award you need to fulfill the objectives of the challenge found at the ? before fulfilling the main goals of the level, otherwise you will win the level but not get the award! I've been caught out a few times and it tickles me!

Yes, not being able to "chain" tasks is one reason that I can't stand MKFTP,but unlike that game so far in the Indian village I am still able to advance in the game even without getting gold,but you cannot advance in MKFTP if night falls and the dragon comes before you finish the tasks,so I hate it and wish I had never bought it. 
However I am enjoying Pioneer Lands because I am able to continue with Silver.

Oh my gosh! What is racist about an indian chief in traditional garb? There was no outcry when Royal Envoy came out & all the pirates looked like stereotypical pirates!! Atleast, I THINK it would have hit the news if pirates came & attacked playrix!
I have to ask if all the people who complain about this have tried the game. FYI not all settlers were murderers. In this game, if you want the trophies you get them by doing what the chief says to do or not to do.
When I was single, 22 & skinny I went out with my best friend since 4th grade for halloween. We dressed sexy as a pioneer & an indian. She's Cherokee & I'm white. She wore the pioneer costume.
Please people, if you feel there is a problem in this world that you must attack (many to choose from), get off your chair, do something! Don't just complain about a cartoon character in a GAME!
EXAMPLE: I do volunteer work in a bad part of town. My car was broken into so many times that my insurance agent sold me his daughter's old car for cheap, so I wouldn't have a nice car there & have to keep filing reports! What do you do?
edited to add....
If you physically can't get out of your chair, there are still things you can do!

AS WRITTEN BELOW...could not have stated it any better...its two ...i am not stuck in game play but the game has me stuck on playing...never been fan of strategy or TM...but this is most 'above addiction'...yes! i was up till 4 a.m. saying to self 'just one more level, o.k..come on u can do it!'...my eyes were getting blurry and teary  , my bum was asleep  ...and as said...CARRY ON! so i rate it a  +
THX...dev's and bfg
so much more fun then aslyms, dead body, evil beings, cemetary, crazed people...but ghosts and aliens i can take...o.k. just 'ranting'!
SO WTG...EMBER...GREAT REVIEW....
ember89 wrote:i had no idea just how addictive this game was going to be! 
after playing a little while, i found myself chuckling at various things in the game and really getting into the strategy aspect... there are so many different challenges that come up in each level and, like MKFTP, there are as many obstacles as there are freebies... and some of those you can't touch if you heed the chief's directives
as far as the 'racial profiling' goes... as soon as i saw the 'pioneer,' i thought pennsylvania dutch... and recalled that in the beginning, pioneers relied heavily on the native populations to get up and running, often living together in settlements, working together, intermarrying... and i think this game kinda captures that spirit... the white man asking the chief: am i doing this right? and then negotiating with members of other tribes... reminds me of that bit in 'last of the mohicans' where madeline stowe says: they're hacking it out in the wilderness with their own two hands and bearing their children along the way...
it's with that spirit that i play the game and i'm finding it fun and exciting and challenging and worth every penny! 
besides.. i got myself a "sturdy hoe"

Maybe game choices really do reflect prejudices (as opposed to preferences)..... Hmmmm....

if by in this country you mean the US , then one thing to remember is most devs are not here, russia, ukraine, etc, i dont understand what is racist about a chief being dressed as one, and when europeons 1st settled, which this game suggests, the natives were helpful, as the chief is in this game,

Really tired of all the hidden object games,so this one is a plus. It is kind of difficult but replaying usualy gets me through. I give this game a 4 star.

I really like it, but I am finding it really HARD. The graphics are first rate, and the nature of the game is great, but MAN...I get rained on at every level!!

Thanks for the suggestion about the uninformed (or careless/carefree) perspectives of the developers of such games. That could very well be the case.
