Is there only one person in the tribe destined to become chief? Or is it like a one in ten chance that the robe will fit?
Everytime my chief gets old and dies I have to find a new chief. And with 96 villagers, its pretty difficult. I have to go around the island, grab every single villager and put them on the robe at the same time. i'm asking, is there an easier way? My chief just died and I have a population of 99.

I think it's only 1 villager who can be Tribal Chief per tribe so you have to start trying all your villagers one by one. I was thinking of maybe having no one wear the robe when my young Tribal Chief passes on in 70 or so Isola years.

Hmm. I cant wait very long because I need my statue finished. I guess I am just going to have to go through the whole process again.

Seems to be only 1 fits it. I drag a bunch on at a time.

In this case, I pause the game, bring all my villagers on the robe then unpause. With so much villagers, you may do it by age bracket, for example! When my chiefs die, it's every time the oldest villager who is not yet Elderly, you may begin with the oldest!
