Really? 2 or 3 months? I hate to say it, but I completed VV1 in about a week. Of course, you have to have a lot of people doing research on a regular basis in order to get the bazillion tech points you need. And I had the game on fast mode any time I was actually playing it, slow mode when I was away.

One time, I left a male villager in breeding mode while I was away, came back and had 32 children the same age! Guess he was a busy little beaver while I was gone.
