How do I get mutiple games of vv1 going at one time?

There are 5 slots to start games in the menu section, when your in the menu section, click on change tribe/village, and there will be open slots available for you, just pick a slot, name it and start. just make sure the options settings (speed, dificulty level etc) are what you wanted b4 you start the new game, go to options first and change all that then start a new slot. but just remember to open your old game and change the settings back.

If I don't already have a game with the options I want (when starting a new game slot), I'll just start one with a current selection, and then after starting up the game change the options, go to the menu and choose "start over." That way I don't mess with the options in a currently running game.

I'd like to have multiple games, but I don't see what Terina describes. That is, I don't have a "change tribe/village" option anywhere. The only thing I have is the option for a new player, or "Start Over".

Can someone advise?

The procedures are a bit different for the two Virtual Villagers games. Terina described the procedure for VV2, not VV1. For VV1, use this procedure.

Thanks. That worked. If I have two games, and swap to one of them, will the other game continue to play?

I'm pretty new at this, but I think it's very cool so far.

Yes, the other game will continue, just as if you had the game closed.
