I would like to see a couple of different time counters. One on the detail of the characters that counts down to their next birthday. It would be awesome if it could be in real time (hours and minutes) as well as Isolan time (6 months and 5 days for example). I would also like to see a time counter on the main island portion letting you know how much time has passed. It could be fairly simple such as: Day 1 or 2rd Month 5th Day or Year 1 Month 2 Day 14, etc. That would really help fiction writers who write about their actual tribes as well as those of us who like to keep track of those things.

I think it would be neat to have an option where you take one of the adults, it could be that it has to be an esteemed elder (or the chief - but should have option to have both and not just one or the other), and you put that adult in a certain spot (say the amphitheater or by the fire) and you have different options. The adult could make a proclamation, such as Blessings Day or Harvest Festival; or announce a wedding or birthday for a villager (or couple); etc. Don't know if this is too "Sims"-like because I've never played Sims. Just thought it would be cool.

I actually posted this in VV4 Suggestions, but thought I'd post here too so people could comment on it. It kind of bugs me when people use the Suggestions forum to comment on other people's suggestions. That forum is just supposed to be for suggestions NOT comments about what other people think would be great for the game or would like to change. Sorry...this turned into a bit of a rant.
