some things i like, some things i dont, some suggestions

hi there, i purchased the game through steam and have about 10 hours of playtime, figured the devs would see this far more readily than a steam review.
things i like:
the mayor boosts, they are very fun and a bit of rng isnt bad.
the units we have and their quips
the pause function, without it exploring would be impractical
the artstyle and world
among many other things

inconveniences
its hard to see single tile wide paths
its hard to tell if i am right next to a wall if i am placing something near a lower left corner
the rocket/melee unit whose name escapes me cant be told to use melee, especially important considering it only takes 10 days and luck to get one through mayor bonuses
there arent a lot of units to choose from
archers seems pointless since they are dirt weak and have similar upkeep costs as far more effective units
an attack different units setting would be great for squads as the time spent aiming at a new unit makes it harder to deal with medium size crowds
more exploration incentive, finding piles of resources is far to scarce to depend on, there seems to be no ancient technology or similar tropes hidden away either.
make enemy placement more consistent, sometimes i hit the border day one and see scattered swarms, occasionally i go halfway to border and find a swarm of top teir enemies and lose my unit outright

suggestions
upgradable units, like tents to wooden houses, but for units. retraining old units mostly would benefit just the archer in the current game, but one assumes later units will be added eventually, so its a good future proofing method
make walls transparent when placing buildings within a few squares
discoverable buildings that can be restored after clearing a "boss" hoard nearby
remove the mayor that gives 10 spike traps
allow the rocket unit to toggle off his rockets


overall ive had a lot of fun with this game and hope my suggestions are useful.
