It's never a lost cause as long as you have living villagers of both genders! You still have several construction projects left to train builders on, so that's no problem, either. I'd keep going and train up a new generation. Take one of your adult villagers exploring with each new tech purchase and you'll discover new things for them to work on. I've salvaged games far more bleak than yours!

Hmmm. That's my point. They won't build, or I don't know how to get them to build. I've tried everything, including leaving them alone, and zero happens.

But, I won't abaondon the village on your recommendation. I know I'm very impatient with this game and have lost food, and I think tech points by moving people around too quickly.

Sorry for the double post. I started here and then realized that this was perhaps a different issue. I see my attempts to delete this post went awry.

Yes, sorry about that double post. I won't let it happen again. And thanks for your advice. I think that I'm too impatient. I want to WATCH them build, and it just doesn't happen that way.

Cheers!

No problem. After every tech purchase, you should take an adult villager for a "tour" of the village to see if there's anything they could work on. You should be able to accumulate research points fairly quickly with 25 villagers. Once you start on the next construction project, you'll probably have that new hut in no time.

So, what I am getting here is that the maximun amount of villiagers is 65? My boyfriend had 80 villagers. how many houses are allowed? I have three so far and 65 villagers. But I can't for the life of me, make them build another house... please help!

Your villagers can build only 3 huts. The maximum number of villagers allowed in a game is device-dependent based on the available heap memory. I assume that you and your boyfriend have different model Palms?

Yes, by now I've completed all but puzzles 11 and 12. I run low on food, but I just set everyone's skill to Fish/Farm for a while and it builds up quite quickly. I'll PM ya.
