Re VV3...It might be interesting to "link" the game to a former version, allowing the player to import a village from VV2 for instance, with a limit to the amount of tech points and other points that can be imported.

Since Isola appears to be fairly bustling with people east and west now, how about in VV3 have a group set off for the next island, but in order to do that they have to learn how to build viable boats, then start all over with new skills to learn and whatever they could fit in the boats as supplies (limited in what the boats can hold of course, so there is work to be done once they arrive in the new place). Or something where they discover the identity of the former occupants of Isola and set out to find them?

Having a leader would be nice, probably like a witch doctor.

I would like to see an option for increasing the speed beyond a 2x speed--there are some things that take darned forever to get to, and there is nothing much to do during that time period other than wait. While patience is a virtue, it would be nice to speed up these long waiting periods.

Having the ability to have more than one player playing their own separate games (we enter a nickname at the beginning, I thought that might be what it was for, but it wasn't) so that different people can each be playing with their own society at different times, or one player can have several games running at the same time in order to try out things.
