I chose the Magic Faction because the idea of the Northern shore interested me, but I have been at my maximum population (with all items collected) of 125 for almost a day now and nothing has happened regarding the shore. Any idea when it might? I had hoped that it might be an extra area to explore, but now I am guessing it will be a message to say that a % of my crew have left.

Also, the oldest I have managed to get a villager to is 79, quite some way from being in the 90s - can it be done when you have chosen Magic?

On a non-Magic topic, has anyone found that the "fertile" potion helps with multiple births? It doesn't seem to do much for my chars.
