Oh -- I misunderstood what you meant, sorry about that. So because I have version .04 installed right now, if I installed version .05 there wouldn't actually be any change in how quickly they progress up the career ladder. I see and yes, I remember that it took quite a long time to become a Master in a field in VV as well. Many of my little peeps never made it that far -- would have been a real problem with VV2 and the totems if they all had, wouldn't it?

eta -- I just remembered something about the totems. Didn't they only get a totem if there were a Master in three areas? Seems to me that's what gave them a totem but it's been so long since I played that I had forgotten that. Old age...
