I think Patricia was refering to your statement here:
which does seem as if you're saying 'the glorified golden child' is in VV3.

I don't think she was making a personal critism. Being an expert in the forums does not make one an expert mind reader.

I only comment because seeing seemingly personal attacks in the forum saddens me and deminishes readers enjoyment.

Aside from that, I am sorry you are disappointed. I believe the creators spent much time and effort trying to make the game fun. Perhaps we should give an 'A' for effort if nothing else.

Well, it's taken me a while, but I need to admit that the ending was kind of a thud. Actually, it was a heavy thud. (groan)

But it was really fun, too, though. REALLY fun.

So now what do I do? Go back to work? LOL

I think the OP was describing the Tribal Chief as the "glorified golden child", so saying you get a TC in VV3 is correct.

Caveat emptor, as always - it's easy to be so overexcited for something new that you end up disappointed, no matter what you end up with. I like that the game encourages you to play through at least twice and then continue to play to get the 'awards'.

I think I'll probably play VV3 longer than I played VV2 - ringing the gong got tiresome after a couple of days, and I don't enjoy making more elders (stopped worrying about it once I got all the different totem designs). But I'll probably take my two (one of each faction) VV3 villages and work for some of the awards - and see what different potions I can make with each (I like making my own recipe books!)

To each his own. I bet we'd all disagree on what the "best" movies or "best" books are, too.

I think you are correct about this...tribal chief = glorified golden child, according to the poster. I still think the poster was a little harsh with the 'expert?' part. Who knows, maybe you have to be a master to get some inuendos!

I just posted a disappointment in the game and although I am disappointed I find that it is really tied into some of the things we were used to in VV2 that are missing here. I like the graphics and the new things....I think having pineapples would be nice to have. Perhaps as they build VV4 we can make suggestions based upon tropical islands which is what this resembles. I know that it takes alot of work to produce a game like this...just wish that we could do something with those builders....maybe as they fix the bugs they can fix that problem.

I don't really have any complaints. I've actually restarted (slowly and much on pause) new tribes from VV1 and VV2. I think my only want in the next game is to have something besides the painfully slow *fixing huts* process for builders to gain skill once the building puzzles are finished.. maybe a woodworking table where they create mini totems or something, lol.

I think other players feel the same. You should make your suggestions for VV4 in this thread , the developers really read these suggestions daily. Shocking, I know! I think they'd appreciate the input.

I am disabled on a very fixed income so playing games online is usually the way I spend some enjoyable time. I usually play free versions for a while and if I like it, I buy it. Several times I have bought games only to find that I had practically finished them in the free trial and felt cheated by that, but then I can always play it again later. Sometimes I have told the designer that they need to make it longer, or change things in it, but I have never demanded my money back.

I have always enjoyed the LDW games. The main criticism I have is that they don't last long enough, but as others have said, I go back and play them again, usually after several weeks or when I have allowed time to dull some of the puzzles from my memory bank, which usually doesn't take long at my age.

Games are to entertain us for a length of time. Games are a product put out by a retailer that spends hours trying to get a product that is entertaining and keeps the gamers coming back for more. LDW does that and I commend them for it. Fixed incomes make it hard to buy all the games I would like to buy, but I never regret paying for a LDW game.

If a person takes the time to play the trial version first, they would have a very good idea if the game is for them or not. I personally thank developers for that service.

Thanks LDW for a good product.

no
o
true i think this game is perfectly the best!

I actually like VV3 better then VV1 or VV2 On one of my tribes Ive bought all the techs and have all my buildings. i didnt even know there was a certain building in 1 or 2 until i read the forums! lol same with the GC i have never been able to get him, and yes, i have bought 1 and 2 but im not complaining and wanting my money back! its not LDWs fault that i have not bought the techs i need in 1! PT was ok but right now im obsessed with FT and im hoping and praying lol there is a FT2!!! (on my knees begging) lol LDW, keep up the AWESOME work! be even more awesome with FT2! lol j/k i love ur guys games!!!!!!
