Hi Guys, thanks for your tips and hints. Unfortunately I cannot keep my village numbers to 12, basically because I cannot get them up to 8! They seem to start with 3 adults and I do have the setting on Easy!

I try to get one adult collecting wood for the fire, whilst another gets the grass and the first one starts it. Then I have to put one adult to fish and everyone else on research. If I manage to get enough points to get coconuts, try to avoid over fishing, by alternating fishing and coconut harvesting (got to avoid that algie!) The last time I got a village going, I managed to get a dam built, but by then, all the villagers were dead - again!

Goodness, it has been frustrating!
