1st tribe
105 villagers
230 plus real hours invested
Only 7 elders since I didn't really understand them at first but had 3 more just about there
Only needed 1 more collectable which I have been waiting for for days and days

Then it happened! I accidently deleted the game and have to start over from scratch! I have 3 other villages going now but none with no where close to as many hours invested and not even 1/2 the collectables on any of them! Now I am going to have to wait even more hours on end to find out what happens when you get all the collectables! I don't know if I should be screaming or crying!

I'm so very sorry Keri...

Keri, have you, by chance, checked your saved game files to see if the backup did not get deleted?

ACC

I wouldn't even know how to start to do that! Can you tell me?

You can see this post about backing up and recovering savegame files. Good luck!

Good luck, I hope you can fix it the way it was.

Thanks for the info. I tried and either I am doing something wrong or it just isn't going to work for me for some reason. Oh well, I will just grow my newer tribes and I will get there sooner or later!

I know the feeling man. 105 villagers, 20 some elders, all puzzles completed, and all collectables but 3 beetles, and my computer crashes. i have to do a system restore and loose all my files.
