I always play the first few times on "easy". When I get bored, then I play a few times on "normal", etc. That keeps the game exciting for me. Usually works until the next game comes out. This one, I'm glad to say, has more options. "Easy" for Magic; "Easy" for Nature. "Normal" for Magic; "Normal" for Nature. "Hard" for Magic; "Hard" for Nature. Hopefully, many times, on each level will keep me occupied, until VV4 comes out. (Not too long, I hope! )

I have magic faction. Quite a few of my villagers reached 80+. Just none passed 89 yet. I picked normal difficulty. I just finished every tech except science. Hopefully they will live longer now.

I had my best laugh when trying to get two of my villagers to 90. I chose to experiment with potions (instead of reading the cheats) and found one that improves health, so I am feeding that to my elders to see if it helps past 76 (so far, my oldest) However; you guys have got to try these two potions-----try, Tiger Lilly+Rose+Cactus, as well as Rose+Rose+Tiger Lilly. I laughed until I peed in my pants!! These guys are a hoot but I was afraid I had killed off my poor old guy that I was trying to save!!! I'll get back to you on the health potion---I don't have results of my experiment yet.

In my longest-running tribe I've had four villagers live to reach Ancient Elder: one got to 90, two to 92, and one to 95. That's out of 104 who have died so far according to the Roll of the Dead. In my second tribe the oldest villager died at 88 (out of about 30 on the ROD) and my newest tribe has an oldest villager of 78 (only half a dozen have died there so far). All the tribes followed Nature.

Well One of my villager's has finally past on she lived to 66 my oldest villager yet she was my first EE. I have nature & second level of medicine tech.

I have just had two die at 100:


I have Level 3 in Medicine and Nature. I also had my game off for a long period of time.

Kasey, I am really impressed and jealous .

For some reason, my villagers die in bunches at the same age. I'll turn the game on and there will be a bunch of dead villagers. When I check the roster of the dead, I'll see they'll all have died at the same age. Consecutively I've had 8 die at 75, 10 at 79, 7 at 83, 8 at 80 and so on. It's weird.

i've made it to 86, several 81,82 84 but never to 90, any ideas on how to help them? seemed as the game progressed so did their deaths, 60's then to 70's then to 80's and then it dropped down to 70's and i can't get them back up. i usually ease up on them once the puzzels are solved and just let them coast along, not even trying for EE's, but then they started dying earlier? is this just coincidense? anyone know?

I've made it to I think 93 in a tribe with nature with everything researched to the maximum (except magic, it isn't my faction).
