i finished the game but not all the collectables. do i have to start over with a new village for the magic faction? in other words are the two factions seperate permanentely? thanks

The collectibles will continue to appear, even after the puzzles are complete. The two factions are mutually exclusive. In order to play the other faction, you will need to start a different tribe.

thanks it has been driving me crazy all day, but by the way the game is great, and so are u guys for being so on top of things

With the collectibles, I am missing 2 rare tablets and 2 rare feathers. With the tablets, I have had none appear since I finished clearing the rubble and it's been a over week now. Likewise the 2 rare feathers, zip.

Unfortunately my chief only points out rare items I already have

Has anyone found the tablets when the ruin has been cleared? I'm starting to think I should have got them all before clearing 100?

Yes, sretsoor, tablet pieces that you haven't acquired still appear even when the ruins have been cleared. Just keep on the lookout, I'm sure you'll get them.

I completed all the collectibles (yay , my chief is proud of me ). The last few tablet pieces I found was after clearing the area and without the help of my chief. I saw the very last one while I was trying to catch an adept doctor who was deeply interested in ruins :).

Good for you. I think your the first to do it. Must be a great feeling for you. Bet you start a new tribe with different faction!

Yes, I'm planning to start a new tribe, but first I must clean up my own tasks. They've become a huge pile while I was with my villagers. I almost hear my advisor telling: 'Who said you can go and play vv3? I already cought you twice while doing that. Go back to your table and do me some research now!'

I know that everyone has said to be patient, but I have cleared the whole area, and I haven't seen one tablet piece yet... Doing well with the other collectibles... I'm wondering if I've seen a piece and didn't know it or if I'm just looking in the wrong place...
