I named a bunch of my same aged villagers after soft drinks.
Sprite, Coke, Pepsi, 7up, Dewey (mountain dew), Dr. Pepper...
Anyhow, now Coke is 72 and the others are all deadified ._.
So... Choose Coke and live longer.

In other news,
I pretty much finished my nature faction group the only things left are one piece of uncommon tablet (been waiting days for it) and a 90 year old villager (got to 84 so far).
Started a Magic faction and is it just me, or is it a ton easier? I'm finding double collectibles everywhere and it's mushroom city. Got to fishing before my one tree ran out of fruit o_0
On nature I had villagers starving all over the place and three trees bare of fruit before I could go fishing o_o
Odd.

Yup, like you, I found magic faction a lot easier too.
With 11 villagers, no chief and enough tech points to start fishing. No need to harvest any fruit, thank you very much. Although my lazy farmer would rather pick fruit than swim around catching and eating raw fish.

I agree! For me also, the Magic faction seems to be easier. It could be the fact we are able to buy technologies fast so we get more sources of food and quickly!

Oops, my bad. I didn't realise I'd posted any spoilers o_o
I guess the magic being easier than nature is a spoiler then.

Anyhow, rather than risk starting another thread I'll post this here :

I feel kind of bad, as I finally have a villager who wont do anything at all. I've tried Building, Farming, Fishing, Medicine... several times as in over 10 times each. Well over 10 times...
I'm not breeding him as he needs to do some work before he gets to play or he won't be able to support his family xD
So...
I made him the village idiot =x

I started with Magic and now on another tribe with Nature and I thought Nature was much easier! lol I too have gotten double collectibles and tons of mushies on Nature. I found Magic easy too.

Re: Village Idiot! I have one too and I renamed him long ago. In fact I have kept him on research and he has finally made Master. I will let him wonder most of the time. He loves the bath...
