• The speed of the game at 6 IG days a RL day means that there are 6 IG years to a RL year.  Assuming characters start at the age of 16 (not that far of a stretch in a medieval setting) then the first characters made would be 22 on the games first anniversary after release, and 28 on the second.  So to me it would take a character at least 3 RL years before a character reaches the point where old age would kill them, in a medieval setting.
• Random death isn't fun.  Who truly wants to wake up in the morning and find out that one of their generals died of random disease #6 and now all their troops have disbanded.  Troops that took real time to make, real time that can't be sped up, can't be skipped, can't be undone.  Even a 1% chance of random death while standing around is to much in a game like this.

I'd just need one bridge to cross the river with my troops, or am I missing something ?
Though, considering it's quite long to build a bridge, it's probably more interesting to go around.

Also, last turn didn't worked.

Think of it this way, you try to build a bridge on your side of the river.  You can only complete 50% of it.
The people on the other side of the river must build the bridge on their side to complete the other 50% of that bridge.

Also, for building, I did some tests (see the m&f forum), and the optimal number of workers (if you want more than 10) is around 80 workers.
