I haven't played VV2 for a long while - probably since VV3 came out. I have had more time because I've been at home during the holiday period so I reopened the game. Four of the five tribes were still going, although all needed switching some villagers to parenting, as there were few if any kids and most villagers were elderly.

One of the tribes was down to seven villagers. All but two were elderly. Luckily the two others were 18-year-old girls. They were immediately made parents, and twelve Isola years later have repopulated the village with 10 kids, with another four babes in arms. Sadly, four of the elderly villagers have since died, but one 73-year-old man remains, for a while at least, to father more kids I hope. Once he dies the kids will have to take over repopulating the village in six years or so.

One of the tribes had completely died out so I restarted the game. They've now reached a population of 42 and have completed all the puzzles, with four EEs so far.
