Do you change faction from village to village ? I do.

Like that I can check if there's a difference from faction

Mmmmm, sometimes, I haven't finished a magic faction yet.

I don't go for a chief until the villagers have banished the sharks so they have an assured food supply and I can spare an adult from researching. That means that usually I've already chosen Nature or Magic. Of course, sometimes the chief is one of the kids, so I'll have them try on the robe first.

I buy the level of tech when I need it. When I want to get something that you can only get when you have certian tech I buy it. So I get what I need when I need it. I won't plan too far into the future.

i usually dont build untill i have banished the sharks so by the time they start building if they do all of them i can put them back on farming or sience.
