Yeah, keep hanging in there. A good event might help.

Does anyone besides me have a village idiot? It's not a title, just a personality issue. One of my scientists dislikes rain (hence being a scientist so she'll be indoors). She dislikes rain so much that when it finally does rain, she will exit the lab specifically to go hide from the rain under the tree. What is that?

My problem was having a adept (nearly master) scientist who didn't like vegetables, she died at the ripe old age of 24. Now I am one person down

I had a horrible time keeping my villagers alive in my first tribe and ended up with only 2 villagers left... both female, one being the chief. I thought about scrapping it, but decided against it. I did get an event with the "barrel of babies" and ended up with 2 girls and a boy... aged 4. Now I have 15 villagers in that tribe and my original 2 just died today
