This game needs a feature that counts what color has the majority in an area. The way it is now, you have to keep counting and it is tiresome, not enjoyable at all.

So what would you do in the real-life board game?

Hehe, it's true that in real life you have to count, but it is nice when playing on a computer that the computer can do it for you! Especially for Farmers and Lords. You have to do a lot of counting when those cards are in play!
Sometimes it's nice to not know who's winning, so I don't think it should be displayed all the time.
Perhaps it might be a good option to be able to click somewhere (on the kingdom card?) to tell you what your current score is for that card? Or, next to a board section, small coloured buttons to tell you how many settlements of each colour are on that section?

You should create a specific game suggestion instead otherwise no-one will find it when looking at suggestion about kingdom builder :

It would make it easier, but it takes away part of a focus element of the game where you might miss a single piece in the corner or a single piece (either your own or opponents) mixed in with a bunch of other pieces. So I’m mostly against it to keep it more realistic to playing in person.

While I am generally in favor of having the computer make human life easier, I think in this case it would make too drastic of a change from the physical game. Yes, it is tedious, but it can be done and affects the strategy decisions of the players. If you don't want to count, you shouldn't get the benefit of knowing who has the most.

There is probably going to be running totals as a table option once I got the time to do it. Maybe at the end of the month.
That being said, I will probably not display how many houses in each corners but just the total golds of each player.
