I'll make sure she sees all your congratulations!
I started playing this game since VV1 and its her 1st time to play this game! I starved my village to death ...twice! So on my third try, i asked her to look after the little folks while i'm at work... just the simple stuff like picking up mushrooms when the food supply is low and all. In short, she got hooked and started her own village that basically thrived better than mine.
She pretty much finished the game:
- with noone dying
- researched level 3 farming last
- never ever having to face a food crisis
- and all these with her 1st village
PS.
My village still has 3 puzzles to solve and is facing another possibility of dying by starvation
