The farther in the game you go...this should not be a problem. I downloaded the day it showed up on the BGF toolbar and have been playing it quite often ever since. I left it on 2X last night around 10pm and woke up at 8:30am. I went from 33 villagers to 77. Had one young male and female check for parents. Had over 500 in food (that was a first in this game), and only lost 2 villagers to old age from level 2. I have been down to 0 on food so many times it ain't funny. I have yet to lose someone to starvation.
