First off I'm lovin VV2 and the similarities between parents and children.
Ok - here's my prob: Just started the village last night. I lost my sole builder to fire ants today and found my tribe to be at 0 food upon login ( I know about the idle farmer thingy and the patch that is coming - had game on 1/2 speed all night and day.) So I have my remaining adults except for my 2 scientists who are currently preggers all farming. Got about 700 food and the algae struck. The coconuts have long been gone and certainly could use quicker refreshing I don't have the Farming 3 tech yet and just barely got the Science tech 2 before this happened. So now I have the 700 food, 10 villagers(incl the 2 babies) of which the previous 4 farmers are now scientists with only a few hundred tech points. How am I to do this? The only way to get rid of the algae is tech 3 of farming right? But that's 90000 points and I don't think mushroom picking is gonna keep the food supply up to par eventually. VV2 is considerably tougher than VV1 thats for certain! Any advice welcome
