I dont know of this is a glitch... but I seem to be stuck at 50 village elders.... I have another 20 or so villagers who have mastered 3 skills but they aren't being "promoted" to village elder status. What gives??? Is this a glitch or should I stop bothering to make village elders???

Its not a glitch kimmar, sorry to say 50 is the limit, there is an island event aparently that can give you one more, or so ive heard i havent had the pleasure, dont stop trying to get them to gain more skills, but you are at the last that you can control.

LOL well darnit to heck.... and here I was trying to mass produce village elders. LOL thanks for the tip.. now I can pay attention to the other village I have going.

Yes, Its time to relax and watch your children thrive

I understand that having a villager become an elder would be too much if a totem were envolved.There would be nothung but totems. but thier names could still say they mastered all 3 and are now elders or elderesses.
