Guess what just checked into one of my games and as always checked the statistics section. Apparantly sometime overnight i had a villager that survived to 104!!! Coz that is what my Oldest Villager section says!!! Only problem is, I can't see who it is, coz my graveyard is full, so no more headstones.......
But 104!! Can't believe I missed it.......



The same thing happened to me. Except it wasn't overnight.

But I've been deluding myself, or assumed (and you know what they say about that!!). Anyway, for some reason, I thought that the eldest of the villagers died first (except with an event or pox or something outside the norm). I have a normal established village running, and as I'm a bit "preoccupied" with the "age thing" have been careful about my elders.

You know, taking a little extra care of them, using the "magic bush" (although doesn't seem magical). Anyway, I had an elderly Master Doctor, Dr. Liam, aged 79. The next two in age were both master doctors as well, aged 74. I wasn't as concerned about them because I thought that Liam would die first as he was the eldest of the three.

Anyway, the 74 yr. olds died together (not twins) and Liam was still doddering around.

I so wanted him to make his 80th birthday, so I went to pick him up to eat some magic fruit and have a "spa" treatment in the lagoon, and literally as my "hand" lifted him up he disappeared, well actually died, right there in my hand!!!

I am feeling more then a bit guilty, thinking if only I'd left him alone and not picked him up, maybe he'd still be alive!!

I still feel a little sad about Liam and hope that the aging of villagers improves in the next VV2. I posted some thoughts and suggestions about this on the "suggestions and improvements" thread any maybe Arthur and co. will be able to take them on board.

Anyway, poor Dr. Liam, R.I.P.

Had to share,

Best of Irish,
