Game play will involve weighing cost verse rewards. Resources will be limited on your island and if you lose more than you gain you will quickly find yourself stranded and starving away on your island.
These resources will be food and wood. With each unit also requiring a supply of drinking water.
Wood will be collected from trees that you chop down. New trees will grow on islands near existing trees. If you chop all of your trees down no new ones will grow and you will run out of lumber.
Food is gathered a number of ways. From wild pigs found on the island. To fishing in the sea. To cultivating wild crops. If you do not leave any pigs/fish/crops to repopulate the supplies they will run out.
Water ,which is represented by mana, is gotten from fresh water crater lakes. These lakes are also not infinite and are refilled , along with everything else, by rain from cloud that wander around the map.

I wasn't suggesting strong units,but diversity in units. Having only 2 units?Try having some archers/axe throwers or a gunpowder mercenary unit that comes from a ship.

You may want to break your warrior class into 2 subclasses, as you need more diversity for offensive units. Air units may not be a bad idea either with batriders/wyvern riders or some custom models from THW that are ranged/mounted usuable for a unit offensive/defensive unit.

Melee: Use troll-axe thrower model with 0 attack range
Ranged: Use the spear thrower
