Well As I sit here going through the game for the first time (still only about ½ way done) a few thoughts came to mind.
First I found a stew that makes you sick and takes away a good portion of health. So my question, is it possible to kill off villagers you don’t want or like? Will it work?
Second is the age limit of 50 years for females. It came to mind that she (they) make an easy way to boost the males to “Master Parent” status. I did this on my oldest villager so he could get a totem and was wondering if anyone else took the time to do this with all their villagers?
Question 1; Yes and it does work

Question 2: Since my villigers marry, I allow my...mature couples to be together and let the young ones do all the work. Plus, if you allow the older ones to "tell stories" and "teach the children," will help with parneting skills too.
