Thanks, Tess. My real question though is why are the little villagers programmed to stop studying the strange plants once they reach adept. I have gone back through a lot of the threads here and so many people are complaining about master doctors, and I have seen no comment from anyone at Last Day of Work as to why these little villagers stop studying the plants. It was not like that in the first Virtual Villagers. This is a cute game, but overall, I am disappointed, and will not be keeping a village going with this game, as I have for nine months now with the first game. But thanks for the help.
