I have been playing a bit but new to the boards. I have some idea's but I don't know about the tech side of it but I will post them.

What would be cool is all masters in the game have the ability to teach children age's 12-14. It would be fun to have a child you want to go into to farming (or whatever) have the opportunity to be ready for work at 14. You could make it like the untrained 14 year olds sometimes they would gain points and sometimes not, the master could even kick someone out of class for the day.

An explorer title would be nice if LDW is thinking of expanding the map, only Master explorers could open a new map areas and maybe there would be a map table they could train at.

It would be fun if some children born had set interest that could not be changed it might be a kink in the best laid plans and fun. Even a couple that all they want to do is breed.

I think some at a certain age should be able to choose to retire they would have an AI that says "I'm done" and maybe they would be like the grandparents of the village and play with the kids.

Day and night might be fun there are a host of things that might happen at night vs. day.

Weather added might mess up the ability to work, maybe construction can be expanded to build structures for bad weather. Like a greenhouse for farmers, small toy factory for the builders, a lab for the researchers and an potion center for the healers.

Children could identify "mom or dad" and interrupt them once in a while by pulling on there clothes breaking there chain of thought.

A new ability might be clothes making out of palm leaves or something. The villager that wants new clothes would have to gather the leaves, maybe some flowers for dye and so on. Maybe the Master clothes maker could gain that ability through things like building sand castles or painting the huts or a variety of creative things

Again I don't know how these things might be implemented but I would purchase upgrades. I do now with Guild Wars and The Sims 2 so why not VV?
