Has anyone else noticed that the villagers of VV3 seem a lot less self-sufficient than VV2?

What I mean is that VV2 I can leave alone for days and the villagers manage to take care of themselves...the 14 year olds will try different things and gain skill, etc.

But VV3, the young adults all just seem to plop their butts in front of the fire and just sit there. When I got up this morning, I had about 15 kids ranging in age from 21 to 14 all lounging in front of the fire. Only 2 had a smidge of any skill. And trying to train them...sheesh. All they want to do is sit around the fire. Even when they gain a skill point or two, it's back to the fire.

So yeah, has anyone else noticed this? It's kind of disappointing. I don't know if I'll want to try keeping a tribe going as long as I have for VV2 if they are going to require this kind of constant attention.

Really??? I think they are more "self-sufficient" in VV3, every villager gets to work immediately, one of my villagers sat on the Research Table for 5 minutes and she became adept because she didn't run off. Most of my villagers get to work themselves!

Huh. All the ones I had born with no skill seem to want to do nothing on their own. They were all just piled around the fire, and it took a while to get them all working.

Are you using your chief to full advantage?

I find it varies alot. I have some very energetic ones that work without prompting, and others that just lounge around not sure what to do.

Yup a bit only, i dont think they r a bad learner but i also agrees like in Vv2 if the hv just a bit of any skill (untrained also means the exp bar just start only) they start doing tht wrk n gain skill. But in Vv3 u hv to keep dragaging the same Villager to do the same work again n again. Its while when exp bar is still showing some exp fr villager but info bar says "unsure what to do"

I've only had the opportunity to use my chief about 4 times I think, and running in Fast mode, the kids grow up before he can do too much.

It was just rather disappointing to get back to my computer this morning and literally see all but 1 of my 14-21 year-olds sitting around the fire...which was about 15 young adults. Most of them had either no skill at all, or one skill increment. For my tribe, there just doesn't seem to be any inclination among them to learn to work on their own.

Just like real life, in fact.

I noticed the same thing too for the ones with no skill. I was thinking of making some bums and wondering if I could and now I know I can.

This is true. I have noticed this as well. They seem to just do what they want unless you tell them to do something. Makes for a very dull game. Plus, the Chief doesn't really do anything. I figured by making her direct work it would help, but it doesn't.
