My villagers have buried over 50 ppl yet the number wont change in the stats. could someone plz tell me why?

Sure. That is a bug, if you will. The counter stops at 50.

Technically speaking, it's not a bug, since it was designed that way. You can check Arthur's comments on the subject!

You say feature, I say bug. :P Potato, Patoto.

I can see the issues with the headstones, but I really think limiting the stat to 50 should be called a bug, but that is just me.

It is odd that the game encourages you to have a large population, but then only has room for 50 in the cemetery. I can understand that there are space limitations, but I wish the number actually buried would show up on the statistics list, as those skeltons are hauled off to the graveyard and plopped on top of the tombstones.
