hi, could anyone give me some ideas on which would be the next tech upgrade i should get, i am currently waiting for the field to bloom, i have level 2 in farming and building. i have 170000 points, on the puzzles i have 6 done( beach, well, hut, herbs, school, lagoon, and im slightly stuck on which would be the best choice on what to do next? please cheers

Spend 15000 of those points in Science - fast! then you can rack up points much more quickly. I'd suggest medicine after that so your people can live longer.

cool cheers for that i might just give that a try, this time my peeps might not end up dead.

err... 12,000 for science

I would have suggested getting the final level of farming first. Once the villagers can fish there are no food worries and you can increase your population. More villagers means more productivity.

I've managed to complete 2 games in Windows, and routinely in Sim, getting science level first at the specific level (then the others at that level), then science first at the next level - and so managed to finish the game without any villagers dying -- except for the graveyard puzzle which does need someone to die to complete the game

That's part of the beauty of this game though. Everyone comes up with their own theories to help them succeed and enjoy the game their own way.

That's also the beauty of offerring advise! Everyone has different strategies. Good on you for finding one that works for you!
