"These... things... can hold a shield, a dagger, a mace, a polearm, and a greatsword all at once? how many arms do these things have exactly?"
Look at how fast they breed. I don't think you need to worry about how many arms they have!
Need so much wood. I have hundreds of Trimps getting wood and like 20 getting food and wood is holding me back, Metal I get massive amounts in the alternate maps, to the point I think I only have 5 mining trimps, just make sure the skill isn't lost to the ages (lol).
Maybe add a Dojo that gives block and is made with gems, wood, and metal to lessen the wood needed to increase block. I think that might help things out.
Oh, and all the harvesting multipliers that your trimps get should apply to you as well. Even if I have hundreds of trimps working on a task, I should notice when I set myself to work alongside them. If it helps you can explain it that I am motivating the work force and it is really them doing more output, but I should always feel like it means something when I hit a button. Honestly, other than setting traps which only I can do, I feel quite useless.
For the time bombs when you go to adjust their position slightly it is annoying how the bombs first center on your cursor. This makes the adjustment twice as hard as you first need to center your mouse as best you can to avoid moving them when just grabbing them, and then of course the task of actually moving them.
