I played Children of the Nile recently. My main two complaints didn't have anything to do with managing the people. The first was that the resources were almost always split on the map via a river, so I had to create two separate colonies to really get everything I wanted. It felt very "gamey" to me. The second was that it was so sloooooooooow. And my last complaint was that the art style made the cities less attractive than they should have been.
