trying to get my totems and having hard time rememering who did what in my tribe .. HELP

You click the details button and itll show you the villagers details, and it tells you what skill/skills they have there.

If you dont want to do that, try adding somthing to the end of their name as they master a skill, R-research, b-building etc. then when you just highlight them you know what they have acheived so far.

If you've got plenty of tech points available you could try changing your villagers' clothes, reserving particular colours for various levels. For instance, you could have:

• red - master in one skill;
• blue - master in two skills;
• green - Esteemed Elder.

i have been waiting for ages to get this one person to become an elder shell be dead before then
