i drag the ppl to the dead flower area over and over again. they all say "going to get water to put on area" or something like that. how many times do i have to do this?
also, i think that the fact i have it as a free trial download from yahoo, and that i've not bought it yet so it kicks me out after five minutes of play so i have to exit as soon as i place everyone may have something to do with it as well. you decide.

Something else in the game has to be accomplished before the flowers come back. And a certain breed of people of the village will water it on their own.

ok, then i won't waste my ppl's time trying to get the flowers back. but why does it take like ten tries to get a couple to concieve? i finally got my 18 year old girl pregnant. it took literally ten tries to do it.

sometimes, like in real life, it takes more
Seriously though, as their breeding skill improves and as you up your fertility tech level, it gets faster. Wait till they start doing it on their own and you may live to wonder why you ever asked the question.. lol
