I am doing really well w/game plenty of food and have just about re-dressed everyone but now I have run into a problem...no children..I am at the max(115) pop and my youngest villager is 14 the oldest is 64 and going strong.healthy/active(still fishes/farms/repairs)even goes after the ladies when given the opportunity .
I cannot count on an event as I have only had 3 events in the entire game(leave the game on 1/2 speed and mostly play in the late evening to which no events have presented themselves). Have any suggestions?

Well, if your eldest is 64, then he could die in anywhere from another 10 to 30 years, and if the 14 year old is female then she'll still have time to have a few kids.

choose a villager that you would prefer to die, and make them eat a stew that would make them sick and tired. don't heal them and wait for them to die due to the illness.

if you want to kill a villager you could use the sick stew as mentioned above, but that would take a while to kill him and one of your doctors may just come and help out and cure him of the sickness.

a better way to kill a villager is to feed him the black-black-black stew 5 or 6 times. that is fatal.

(to read the hidden text, highlight it)

I got the distinct impression that LDW values highly its E-rating (for Everyone) for its games. I would expect to see the loophole stew that allows the deliberate killing of villagers to be addressed. Be difficult to see a continued E-rating otherwise

and there is sex in the game too, and players are encouraged to engage their villagers in sexual activity. not to mention incest.

but sex and violence is not what vv is about. vv is about guiding a village to grow, thrive, and prosper. and to do that you need to be able to add and subtract villagers as you see fit.

the stew is the other side of the coin from mating. if one is a loophole, then both are.

the question of having babies - which is natural - is handled tastefully... and I think anyone understanding a game that starts with few adults can accept the limitations that puts on the parameters. That is very different to players being able to take deliberate decisions to kill any amount of villagers they choose.

Also, VV1 villages thrived very successfully, thank you, without the option of murdering ones villagers -- and for that matter, many of us managed to nurture successful tribes in VV2 without killing people who have a hard enough time scratching out a living.

And since when is killling a villager who happens to be a little slow at learning, been a critical factor in having a successful village.

killing a villager is only last option. the whole tribe will cease and decease anyway if they can no longer produce babies for the next generations, since there is a limit in population and since in vv2, there is a limitation on the breedable age in women (in vv1, there was no limitation). the most important thing is continuity of the village from generation to generation. killing any one villager is only the last resort,if not doing so would mean death of the village, and not just an individual villager, if you would end up will all skeletons and no villager at all. a little sacrifice is worth it i guess. but again, it is only if you don't have any other option, subject to your evaluation as their god.

If your comment was intended for me, melrod, then I will let it stand without further comment. It speaks volumes for itself.
