I have one game where I have one person and he's a kid. All I've been doing is hunting mushrooms. But I have found that by dropping him on the dead bodys he can learn healing. So I am training him to be a doctor when he grows up.

OMG!!!That is Morbid.
Hubby noticed on one of my villages that the female was going around kissing and embracing and she and her "suitor" were "making out" on top of a corpse. I was like ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Dang wished I got a screenshot of that to share. LOL

I know its morbid but it works he's half way to being a doctor and he had no skills in anything before I started. I get tired of only hunting mushrooms waiting for either something to happen or him to grow up. I don't want to start game over.

mmm..I think you have to start over..if u only have one child...how will he reproduce??? you won´t be able to solve some the puzzles anyway... or did I misunderstood u?

I hear all the time about people showing up or babys in barrels so was hoping that would happen to me.

That sounds like a really challenging game -- if you are lucky enough to get the "barrel o'babies" event with the appropriate gender, I bet you'll have no trouble finishing the game.

Good luck -- keep us all up to date!

When I first started playing and my first person died, I didn't know how to bury him so I dropped a person on him. The game thought I was trying to mate them and gave me a "That person is dead!" message. Yucky but funny.
