When I first bought vv2 last year after playing the trail version the day after I all my villagers were dead and only one male villager was left burying the dead, I restarted the game, this time with more care. I now wish that I had joined the forums then I would of let the game run its course and see if I got an event with barrol of babies or two more adult villagers.
Next time. I may do that when the next comes out.
