I think the "original" features that promised in this game are a bit of a gimmick. IMO. Why would I want to get in 1st person view if The whole idea of a god like game is to be distanced from the action and let the little people do the hard work. Also if I wanted the 1st person action I would just play LIF. Right? I do like the natural disaster QuickTime events!
Now, I like Bannished very much, but there was a point where there was no further reason to conitue playing because the content was limited.
Also the end meta-game is non-existent. Though I enjoyed the process of the gameplay I felt that something was lacking.
So if this game provided some new meta-game content I would be happy to pay and play it. Perhaps a suggestion for some role-play element where you have to metigate some local disputes between the plebs and lords could be a fun thing(building a castle when the requirements are met, hosting a feast, inviting the neighbouring King/
cheiftan).
My two cents.
Good luck with the further development!
