I have 9 villagers doing a rain dance, including the chief, and NOTHING.

What do your chief's stats look like? Maybe he needs to be master or elder level ???

Well he can't be a master b/c he doesn't do work (except he could heal people)--and I don't think he has to be an elder...but I obviously could be wrong. Does the fire have to be out in order for this to work?

nope, fire was on for me!

I think they get skill points for directing work, even though they don't do any of the heavy labor.

Ughh so frustrating....I will hope that LadyCF sees this thread.

mine was a child chief as well..almost no skill except a little parenting and healing. she and about 10 others or so completed this puzzle..took a couple minutes though..

Okay so just to be clear I am doing this correctly and it's not that I'm missing something--do I make the chief start dancing first and then drag the others onto the fire? Or make the others dance first? Or what?
