When I opened my game this evening I found Tonga, my chief, had died of old age at 75. I therefore went through my villagers one by one until I found the new chief, Paka. I started with the youngest and - of course - Paka was the oldest in the tribe, at 76.

I also only needed one key to open the door. I got that, and it started raining just as the door was opened. I put the villager who got the key on the sun dial to move it, but there was of course no beam of sunlight to activate the final puzzle. Then the sun came out ...

I looked round and there was the skeleton of Paka lying in the amphitheatre. She must have died at the same moment the Prince and Princess appeared. I feel sure it must have been shock, although the ROD said old age. She'd only been chief for about 10 minutes.

That's very funny. Sorry. Sympathies to you and Paka's family. It couldn't have been your fault -- Paka was destined to be chief. You only helped her find her destiny and she probably died happy knowing she got to be chief, no matter how briefly.

I usually start hunting for the new chief with the oldest and it turns out to be the youngest! You think the chief is always just the last one to try on the robe? Just kidding -- sometimes with a large population it's the one right in the middle.

You can't assume either that the sunbeam is always gone in a rainstorm. I've witnessed several times during heavy downpours, bright sunbeams shining on the sun dial. I originally thought it odd, but, apparently Isola has great rainbows -- probably with large pots of treasure at the end of them! Maybe it was that pot of gold that shocked Paka. What a way to go!

My apologies to you. I believe Paka died because her old age.

Poor Paka. She just became the chief and then died 10 min. later. But I really believe that she died of old age though, and I really don't think that It's your fault Arnie.

That is sad I hope Paka rests in peace

My new chief after Paka was Noko. He was also elderly, I think 66. He has just died at 76 as well.

That's three chiefs in about ten Isola years. The new chief is Riki, a comparatively young 56. It looks like I won't get the Legendary Leader Award for a while ...



Riki giving his first lecture to the kids.

So in playing time it was 10 minutes?, but how long in Isola time would that have been so she was the chief longer?

I do not know how to convert Isola time to earth time!

It should be one hour = one isola year on normal speed (I think )

I hope you will eventually get younger chief arnie, I can assure you that you will eventually get a chief who is under 30! (My third chief was eight!)

Two hours is one Isola year on normal speed.

The game at the moment is on Fast speed, where one Isola year = one hour. That means my chief who ruled for ten minutes lasted for two Isola months.
