*sighs*
I have VV2 going strong and I am wanting the Plant Tycoon now - but I don't have time to keep close track of all 3 - so I am letting my VV 1 slowly play itself out on it's own. It is down to 33 now. Sorta sad to watch you know. And I couldn't make myself hit the delete button to just end it all at once. *chuckles* Silly I know.

But I wonder! Does the golden child stay and keep the place alive even if all the villagers die off? It will be interesting to see what happens.

idk, bit from what ive read about i think he does

Yes he does, but you won't get any events.

I ignored my tribe for months (bad negelectful me) and when I turned it back on finally, I had alot of kids. Just kids though, nobody old enough to breed or anything. I just had to wait till they grew up a little and I got things going again.

You could always pause the tribe and come back to it whenever you feel like turning it back on. I have mine on pause right now so that nothing bad happens while I play PT.

if you don't have time for your vv1 game now , just put it on pause. then after you have found all of the mp's go back to it !

Down to 27 now.
No
Time to let it go.
Sometime later when I have more time I can make a new tribe in it - and start fresh.
New beginnings can be fun too.
:-)

My oldest VV1 tribe runs alone since a long time. Sometimes, I go watching it and it seems to go well! The population varies up and down and when it's too low, I select some girls in parenting (there is no limit of age in VV1 ) I also select some healers time to time.
I think you may do the same and let it go! For VV2, it's more difficult because you must take care of the fire or the villagers get sick and die; but for VV1 you can let them live their own life!!

Yes I did that for a long time.

I just visit VV1 brefly to make sure they have one male breeder as they can manage on their own.

Actually, you can let both villages on VV1 and VV2 running, the events freeze the game. I have a village on VV1 that has been running for 14 months now. It has 103 million in tech points. I'm not as interested in the VV2 game, only check it about once a week, but it is always stopped by an event. I've never had anyone die because the fire went out.
