I got teh game the day it was releasd fron BF games, and I hve been playing almost constantly. Due to medical reasons, I only go to school for three periods a day, then I come back home for the afternoon.I usually check on my villagers in the morning ,b efore school, when i come home, and then most o fhte day I switch between my four villages on this one, the two that are left on the first game, Animal Crossing, and homework. I am stil not nearly as far as many of the people, although, i am getting faster as i learn more. Maybe the people who are so far ahead have found some way to run four or five villages at once and then combine scores or something. It is kinda hard to belive that someone could already have 10 or more elders in one tribe already. It took me forever to learn how to efficiantly make more than one elder at a time. But if that's the way they want to play, then I guess you just have to let htem.
