I have 50-odd villagers in my current tribe and am trying to build them up to the maximum. Unfortunately most of the villagers at the start of the game were female. Then the law of averages kicked in. I now have a balanced population, but that means most of the younger villagers are men.

At the moment I have only one female of childbearing age; even if she produces a child every two Isola years she is just about keeping the population level as the older villagers begin to die.

Luckily the present generation of kids contains a good mix of boys and girls so in a few more years the population should start expanding again.
