o_O You mean to tell me Elders DO NOTHING?

Elders have at least three masteries. They earn that title for having the masteries, not earning the masteries because they have the title.

Unless you're talking about simply old villagers. In which case, of course, they work, though women over 50 can't bear children. They also move much more slowly; they're more useful for tasks like research or healing, where they don't have to walk all that much; men are also useful in parenting still. Being kind of a non-critical skill, I don't mind if they do it slowly.

Elderly villagers are not good for farming or building typically; the distance they have to walk at that slow speed is just so far, that their walking speed slows down their work and their gaining skill much, much more.

I can't get any of my villagers to the age of 75. One of my original villagers lived to 80, but since then the oldest has been 77.

All of my villagers are Esteemed Elders by the age of 30. I've completed all of the puzzles and have all of the awards other than Ancient Elders.

It really upsets me any time a villager dies. All of the 3rd generation of my tribe have been dying and I'm quite attached to them. I assumed they'd live to 90+ but all of them have been dying in their early 70s.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I keep their health at 100%. There is plenty of food (over 100,000) and at least 75 Master doctors.

Are those doctors checked off to be doctors, or do they get it by studying medicine?

Only those selected as doctors, I believe, will heal the sick.

I had two villagers live to 100 years old in a magic tribe.

I've seen villagers who are Master Doctors, but don't have Healing checked go running off to heal people. I had a runner who was a Master Doctor would constantly go running off to heal someone no matter what he was tasked to do.

I always have at least 20 villagers tasked to Healing.

But my villagers are all dying of old age, not disease. I've never had a villager die of a disease or illness.

By staying off the game, does that mean you cannot check on other villages at all? Cause I have another village I would like to check on every day.

You can check other villages as long as the one you're trying to leave alone doesn't get opened.

no, you can check on other villagers, I belive.

I think leaving it alone is the best thing to do to get a 90 year old, but I don't think babysitting will do the trick. I mean their health bar might be full, but the villagers need to exercise! Walk around in the fresh air!
