I guess it was poor timing on my part, but by the time I could start on puzzle 9, most of my master builders were elderly. Once they began the task, my builders died off and now I have only two master builders left.

my problem is that I don't have any building tasks left in order to develop more master builders to repair the statue.

Besides 9, I have only puzzles 12, 15, and 16 left to complete.

Is there any way to develop more master builders at this point?

Any help greatly appreciated!
