Hi LadyCF, thanks for answering. I use the spacebar to pause my game, & its always worked before this. And I shut the game off for the night, from the main menu. There are some odd subtle things happening in that first game. I'm pretty sure it was still on pause when I turned it back on, but at this point, I'm not 100% sure. I've started a new game, correcting some mistakes I made in that first one (like letting population fall, and so losing the resurection power).
As for the children not studying, it still looks like they don't, but their skill level does go up.
Thanks for continuing to work on the kinks. I'm very impressed at the high quality and imagination in the LDW games..each one is more fun than the last! ^,^
