The game should follow the successful principle laid down in VV1 and VV2 that you start with a small number of villagers and, over time, build a thriving community. There's an event in VV2 where a group of villagers builds a boat and goes off. Perhaps they could be shipwrecked and are befriended by a small family who are the decendants of the mysterious original tribe?
