My villagers have managed to get rid of the sharks and ... spoiler.. but there are still two sharks swimming around and the villagers don't see them???

This is my second game and in my first game the sharks were totally gone.

Magic tribe: Sharks will keep on swimming, but won't hurt your villagers.

Nature tribe: No sharks.

The potions are different recipes - the magic tribe 'charms' them so they don't bother the villagers. They should sparkle. The nature potion is a repellent.

I wish they'd done that for the bees. Am I the only one who is annoyed by there being no bees?

They're there, theoretically, they're just dazed by the smoke - which is a technique used in various ways today, though it doesn't remove the danger of being stung - if you want honey, don't do this at home, go to the grocery store instead.

Thanks, oh wise one... you know that's not what I meant. I don't want theoretical bees, I want bees that sting people.

Actually, I didn't know what you meant, which is why I took a kind of crippled shot in what I thought might be a likely direction.

You're a baaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-d guiding hand. You know that, don't you? This is why your villagers run around kissing people you don't want them to, and why they keep wandering off the job. This is why they do so much laundry.

If I had bees that could sting people, kissing, wandering, and laundry would decrease substantially, trust me.

You'll probably get them at about the same time I get my lion pit and salt mines.

You could always hope they survive on mushroom-hunts for the first seven hours, and never harvest honey?

Good idea. If I ever start a new tribe....
