Hey all!

I'm new here, but have played both VV 1 and 2 and just thought I'd throw some ideas and experiences out there and see if anyone else finds them helpful.

When I start my village, I name the 2 adults Adam and Eve (cliche I know) and then for the rest of the game, I use the alphabet to distinguish generations. An example as follows...

So, I just started a new tribe... Here's what the game gave me...

Latipa (f) - 26 --> change to Eve
Rongo (m) - 23 --> change to Adam
Dodo (m) - 15 --> change to Barry
Ema (f) - 13 --> change to Cathy
Bass (m) - 12 --> change to Cody
Bobo (m) - 9 --> change to Darren
Bati (f) - 4 --> change to Ellen

By doing this, it's easy to remember a) who you started with, and b) a rough idea of ages just by names.

Each new baby gets the next letter of the alphabet. And when you hit Z, just start again! You'll be far enough into it by then, it will be easier to keep things straight in your head, and not have to spend so much time in the Details screen.

Hope this helps!!
