Thanks angelz - i went ahead about bought level 3 farming as you are right it is important for growth in the village and to keepthem alive - i have recently learnt how to train more builders in the village as i only had one who is getting old. I'm working on science so i can get more points on the others to help get them easier - thanks for the luck too - ever since i found this forum my villagers have been thriving no more frustrations i hope Thanks for the help i will definatly post again if i need another push in the right direction
