In fact, I am running on easy. It makes me slightly embarrassed of how impatient I am. And, well, while I was sleeping, something happened to the computer clock, it went one hour backwards even though the daylight savings is supposed to be off in, like, three weeks...and everyone died once again. However, before that happened, I figured out the thing with trading jobs and that was increasing health of those who were one research injury away from death.

I started a new game now, and, at the very beginning, I lost the child because I didn't know about the thing with reading a mysterious book, so, right after that happened, two villagers made a baby bfore I could even stop them from getting indoors.

Currently, I'm at around 3000 points, I completed only the well puzzle, I have one mother nursing a baby, one girl foraging and two guys and a girl on research. The berries are still in existance (about the same amount in the food bin as on the bush), but, I had yet another event, the thing with stomach cramps and I wonder why I'm this unlucky...yikes.

I will try to follow your strategy, hoping I don't get that wonderful event that destroys all the food in the meantime. Also, I will hope the villagers will survive that critical time between two cycles of crops.

Also, I'm playing the easy mode on 1/2 speed and...I guess speeding it up would be hazardous?
