one lovely day a stranger in a boat appears on the island asking for seeds and berries. i opted not to give him any, and he sneezed a nasty, disease ridden sneeze in the face of my villagers making more than half of them sick....what a jerk!!!


anyone else had this event? how about the spiders in the crate, or the book that made one of my villagers disappear, or the growling in the cave that made a child never be heard from again??

When it comes to Island Events, you need to choose wisely!

the stranger in the boat was my very first island event. i chose not to give him any food either...oops. fortunately i only had a few villagers at the time, so it wasn't difficult to make them all well again.

i had one book that made one of my villagers into a Master Doctor. and nearly every time i get something in a crate, it turns out to be deadly spiders, rats, or something else that makes my villagers sick or weakened. but i always choose to open it anyway.

LOL sunshower, i always open them too, i just cant help myself

the event where the little kid saw something in a cave, went in to explore and was never heard from again just broke my heart.

I chose to let him have some samples or whatever and got a level of medicine.

I had an event about a DREAM of growling in a cave... I chose to look at the gold and nothing happened.

I usually choose to open or not open the crate based on the description. Rotted seems to mean rats, weathered means +tech but sick villagers, watertight means a new kid or three...

I had an event with a red potion on the ground. I had the villager drink it and although it said 'he felt different' nothing seemed to happen. He looked the same and stayed apparently the same age. He was a child at the time though.

Oh, I got an event that broke my heart because I'm a softy. I found a struggling moth and chose to help it. That made it weak and it fell into the sea... what would happen if I chose the other option?

If you leave the moth, it's good... you get a villager more savvy in one of the skills. That's a sneaky one cos you'd be inclined to help it... as for the stranger, isn't there a moral there somewhere? about sharing whatever little you have? lol

I think so. Luke 10:30-37.

I have never gotten that one before.How long did you play virtual villagers to get that? I have gotten the monkey that was eating my food and I told it to scare it away and it weakened my youngest farmer he was 13 and he didn't get well again till 19

I've gotten that one three times. But keep in mind I've played 30 or so games. Keep playing, you'll get it sooner or later.

There's an island event about a kid getting lost in the cave??? Never saw that one! Hmm, weren't there fresh berries left in the cave? Coincedence?

My crates always have diapers. I wonder if there is a landfill on the other side of Isola?

I think the face in the trees is a shy confused person
thats what i read. and he is master farmer

I had one stranger in a boat ask to get samples of herbs, and I gave him samples and he made one of my villagers into a master doctor (compelety filled up the bar) from her not having any medical experience.

I wish I could get more island events. I've been playing for days and only gotten two or three.

I saw that almoste everybody have the maximum population 92, but I saw some screenshots with population 300 or 700. Somebody know how is this possible?

Thank you

I just got a crate of steaks worth 1500 points.

omg .. i want some

I got an event that monkey steals my berries.
I give him so one of my builder becomes master doctor.

For an explanation of those screenshots, see this post.

Yep, in my very first game, I had a child prodigy that was maxed out on research from a very young age. Let's see: in two games so far, I've had

2 vials of red liquid
2 crates (one spiders, the other unopened)
the moth (I helped it -- d-oh!)

i love them. the little things u get with the events. and i open every thing to and try things. but i wish we could get more of them in a game . we get less and less every time a game moves on. please give me more lol

I just got the not normal child. It gave me a choice between researcher or farmer. I chose researcher.

I still wish there were more exploring to be done in the cave... just kind of leaves you hanging doesnt it?

I found a compass and the villagers found it be very good to smash berries. I had to chose between giving them that or giving it to the researchers. I needed the tech points and I was worried my village would make wine, get drunk and die in the ocean. I don't know if it gave me any points but the researchers used it and they broke it. I will choose the other option next time, just to see if they do get drunk.

i gave a compass to the researchers and i got 3000 tech points

I have also had the man in the boat..one of the few things I have had so far , I shared and got antibiotics
