Yes, sorry for that. You must click "Cancel" every time you selected something, before you select another thing, until I figured out how to fix that problem. Sorry!
btw: in v1.5 now there is a Speed-Up-Function. Click and hold the right mouse button for double speed.
And here are some tipps for the start:
First you should build a village and a second villager, to make your first money. Then build barracks and recruit your first defense-units, to handle a possible attack of the enemy.
That's a good start, I think. :)
