Im trying to get a builder so they can push the statue, but, for some reason, its almost impossible for my villagers to even get to trainee builder! By the time they get to master they're about 60-70 years old, even though they start at around 20! How can I get them to improve faster? Help!

^^ The way I built up my first master was directing to clearing the leafs at the far end of the green patch of grass hope this helps.

I suggest starting on other things that require building.

Ive already cleared the leaves and rubble and built all the huts. All I can do now is 'fix' and examine the huts. But they stay for 5 seconds then wander off and in there aaction box it says 'wondering what to do' or something like that. thx for trying 2 help though.

There are several spoilers in this post****









try this potion: cactus, lotus, black orchid

I send three children off to collect the herbs, then, once they are done, I drag my cheif over to "lecture" which gets all my villagers in one area. Then, while he's doing that, I take one scientist over to mix the potion. When he's done, I hit pause (spacebar) and drag every villager over and drop them on the pot (make sure their status changes to "drinking potion") then unpause (spacebar again). They'll all say "must exercise!" and start running around (if you have lots of villagers, this can be very entertaining ). After about two minutes, they will stop and either say "no" or "mm-mm" or will gain some building skill. After doing this about twice (three times for stubborn ones) they should be at "trainee builder". At that point you can drop them on the statue (only if the cheif is "directing work") and they will work on moving the statue most of mine were master builders by them time the statue was done.

Mine didnt improve at building except an extremely tiny bit and are still not trainee. But thx 4 trying.

It takes some time all you need is some patience

ok

there not improving at all...

^^;; Are you sure you checked the villagers for a certain skill?
