Not sure if anyone's had this problem, but hopefully someone has an idea!! I am at max population and cannot breed to create the golden child. I am trying to stop anymore food from being produced to hopefully starve a villager to death (that sounds so mean...lol)or just hope that one of my old tribe memebers kicks the bucket!! I have completed all the puzzles except those that involve the oglden child.

Anyone have any other advice??

Since being at max population prevents making new babies, you'll have to wait until there is room for babies. What I generally do in that situation is set it to fast speed, turn off the game, and leave it for a day or so. You should come back to a game that is no longer at max population, and you can work on the final puzzles.

... and take care that no one is checked (in the detail screen) as parent!!

if you have anyone nursing, you can complete it...
