I would like to know how to get them to live longer than 78years.

My elders, Male are in white, ladies in long dress

I guess I can understand the need to cap the number of totems, but I still think that elders should get the title. And what if, when the elder died, the totem disappeared, or was somehow incorporated into the headstone? That way, you could feasibly continue to get a totem for new elders without seriously overcrowding your village.

I noticed that some people had more than 50 elders.How did they do that? I have 50 elders and three that should be elders but they didn't get the title.

Apparently, there is a village event that let's you get an extra Elder. That makes 51 - but I don't know how people on the leaderboard have 52 & 53.

The same Island Event can happen more than once in a game.

I've been dressing my elders in white as soon as I had all my skills and everything possible.
I found that once the village is built it is rather hard to master building.
I put my villagers there first while there was something to build and then knowing that farming and parenting and medical was always available I kept them at that.
It is total patience. And being on the game quite often. Which I'm sure some mothers have a problem with.lol

I think it is fairly easy to get master builders once everything is complete.(of course, now that I don't need them!)
Here are all my master builders as of now and there are several more just about there.

I dress my elders a bit differently. Because my doctors are all dressed in white, I chose black for the male elders and red for the female elders.

I think I'll go ahead and give them new clothes once they achieve Master status in three skills, even if they don't get the title and the totum.

I asked this somewhere else but never received a reply. I made my 5th Elder and didn't get a totem. Why? Is there a way to retrieve her totem from wherever it is? I didn't want to go back a few days, play with the date whatever, and then just lose everything. How can I get the totem I earned to show?

Thanks!
