I am a tad speechless and somewhat unsure how to respond.

Um, let's see...death is a normal part of life, for humans as well as villagers. So, the fact that your villagers die at 'an average age' is just like us humans. And, while sad, it is inevitable.

And the Ancient Elder award is an exception, a puzzle, that requires non-standard game-play to solve.

I don't believe it is expected that you consistently have villagers living to 90+ years, so it is not necessary to consistently leave your game off as described above. That is just a method to achieve the award. And, as previously mentioned, it is not the only way to achieve long life spans.

I don't know about giving the elders potions to keep their health up and thereby extend the life span. I haven't tried it. But I would suspect that if you wanted to take this route, you would definately need to invest more than 15 minutes a day nurturing your villagers.

Regardless, I am not familiar with your posts enough to recognize the tone you use when you ask about idiots...but, being unfamiliar, it kindof hurts my feelings to read that description.

Personally, I think very highly of the developers, and to hear complaint or frustration in such harsh terms is a bit upseting.

Perhaps you can re-phrase your feelings in a less combative form so we can make efforts to inspire happiness, or to promote peace in the forum and stay in keeping with appropriate talk for little ones as this is an E-rated forum.

Just a suggestion...your turn.
