My first chief reached 50 year ruling. Something came up about what the award was, but my screen glitched and I lost it before I could read it. Anyone know what it said?

You mean that a little window poped up especialy for this award? I don't remember of that.
Anyway, you may look at the puzzles screen then, on the left bottom, click on "Awards".

I don't remember a popup but if you go under puzzles, there is a button at the bottom of the screen that says rewards. click on it. This will be Highlighted "Legendary Leader" A chief has ruled your village for fifty years.

I know it was the congratulations for the award, but I thought I saw just before my screen went blank that it would affect the food source in some way, but couldn't catch exactly what it said.

That award should not affect food; I don't believe any of them do. Are you sure it wasn't an event that affected food?

Nothing has changed as far as the food production goes. Just her reaching "Legendary Leader". Oh, well. Was hoping...lol Thanks all
