A few of my villagers died so I had to repopulate. I set some male villagers on breeding, and exited the game. When I got back, all the women had a kid exept one. She was burying the remaining villagers. I dropped a guy on her, and she ran away. It said "She's nursing a baby" ,but why was she burying the dead if she had a baby?

Nope can't say it's happened to me however I did catch a nursning mother healing someone the other day...odd I tell ya

That is a _bug_ that will happen upon startup. You will also find nursing mothers swimming in the ocean at startup, among other things.

I saw a nursing mother heal someone too! I thought I was seeing things. And I did have a villager dancing with a skelton, but not to discover she was a nursing mother too!

I think its hilarious when the nursing mothers start in the ocean and it says "caring for baby". Gotta wonder how hard she is caring for it.

Nursing mothers who are sick may be able to heal others who are sick.

I have had that several times. I believe the baby must have gills.

I know its so strange
it happened once....

i'll try using a nursnig mother to heal next time i have an epedemic.

Shalom;
I have started a new game. Four women, two men and alittle girl. One of my men vanished when he saw the face in the woods. The other died from a monkey attack (I kid you not; he never recovered) Now, I have nothing but women as a tribe. As this happen to anyone else?

I have had something kinda like that. In a sophisticated demo village I had 3 old women and 6 men. All of the women died, so I had only men. I got a crate of females and hoped I was saved. However, just as they turned 18, the men died. The women lived til old and death

That scenarioo has happened a lot. I had a village that was fine when I went to bed, but by morning all of the men had mysteriously disappeared.

You have to wait and hope for an event to bring more villagers, such as a crate o' babies or sometimes if you get lucky a farmer comes out of the trees.

I would suggest keeping the ones you have working and trying to get all of the med techs if you don't have them already, then at least the villagers will live longer giving you more chances at the right event.

Also, keep the game running on 1/2 speed.

MochaJew, what face in the woods did they see? was it the eyes behind the boulder or is it totally different?

It's totally different - it's an event

Then I better pray for a crate of male babies and soon

It is an event; the person sees a pair of eyes from the woods and he gets closer to find out what it and then he's gone. But in another game, it turned out to be a frighten fourteen year old girl who was a Master Farmer.

Thanks for the suggestions. Right now my Amazon Tribe is doing well. Everyone healthly. I am hoping for a crate of male babies soon. The youngest woman is now twenty. My husband assures me men like older women

And younger women, and middle aged women ... In short, any women.

hahahahahaha

That sounds like my husband

Update; this morning a crate of twins, a boy and a girl washed up on shore. One hour later, another crate, with another baby boy. The Amazon Tribe now has a fighting chance.[quote=MochaJew]Thanks for the suggestions. Right now my Amazon Tribe is doing well. Everyone healthly. I am hoping for a crate of male babies soon.
