Well, I've been trying to get a certain look for my villagers but I'm not doing a very good job of it In VV2 I tried to get them as self sustaining as possible and it worked. My VV2 is on another hard drive of mine that has been 'put aside'. I checked it the other day and the tribe was still up and running with 115 pop and, I believe, approaching 10,000 hours of playtime, according to the stats. I was amazed.
