I seem to have a lazy tribal chief! I put him on directing work, then when I come back to the game (or leave it on and check back later), he's 9 times out of 10 wandered off somewhere. It took (no kidding) 3 days for them to build 1 hut and 4 to build the clothing hut (on 2x speed too). I'd say I'm NEVER going to get the statue raised while he's around. The tribe doesn't seem to acknowledge his leadership either, most of them wander off if he's there or not.

And it isn't even that he's busy worrying about the sick or trying to bury the dead, he just wanders off to whatever. Sheesh!
