I agree about adding more puzzles! Even on the Palm version, more than 12 would be fun - but especially in a Windows game you'd want more. I think it'd be cool if you could unlock certain puzzles and get to go to a different part of the island - like into the cave - where there would be more puzzles. I love the main beach area, but it would be fun to either have a new area to go to, or eventually you move to the jungle or something like that.

As far as specific events go - it might be cool to have more "special" people who can show up (again, after completing a puzzle!) that can do healing or grow crops quickly or things along that line. I also agree that the events you get to choose something in are more exciting - what will happen if I click yes!! And I like the idea of having 2-3 possible things happen if you do select yes so you never know what might happen.

I do love turning the Palm game on to have random events happen too. It'd be cute to turn it on and find out it's someone's birthday (and then maybe for that day that villager gets extra skill or something) or have random objects show up that can increase skill (so you don't get blocked from increasing building skills for instance).

I think that's it for now

Ooo I know... "So-n-So was abducted by aliens and implanted with an alien baby." When she has the baby it's a little alien (blue skin, huge black eyes, etc). It grows up and (if it has reseach and construction knowledge) builds a spaceship and flies away!!!

Who? Angelina Jolie? That'll get the male villagers all heat up and fighting, hahaha!

Hey, that gave me an idea! How about putting some aggression into it? Men fighting over for the women who are ripe for breeding? So some male villagers will become wounded and need treatment. Some may even die from severe wounds. It won't be a pretty sight but it sure will heat up the game a bit.

Just an idea but definitely not my fave.

How about clickable butterflies? You know: the flock of butterflies that hangs out around the vicinity of the magic garden? Click on them, and they scatter, or move to a different place!

Kind of pointless, I know, but fun in its pointlessness. Kind of like tapping the glass in FT for Windows.

This gave me a better idea. You're the 'major' on the village. Rigth? Why not let the user to solve the village's problems? Even the most civilized city argues sometimes (that instead of a figth). Huh?

TIGHT LITTLE ISLAND
A cargo of spiritous drink washes up on shore, and one of the curious villagers opens it... they all have a party, get drunk, and noone can do a lick of work for x hours. (Well, maybe one teetotaler abstains, or perhaps the nursing mothers do!) The healers of course are unable to help, folks just have to sleep it off...

No problem, JustAGirl! Like I said it's not my fave idea, it just came up in my mind. May be Archmage's idea is better, as in let them have dispute over breeding or whatever and let us be the one to be the judge or problem-solver?! I like this idea better because then we're involved. "Thumbs up" for Archmage!

Sally, good one! Any reason to party and get drunk! Hahaha! Lets just hope the storm doesn't wash away the food during this period when everyone is too drunk to work, hohoho!
