hhmmm, and here I was enjoying the blue and purple type !!

So sorry to hear about your little village, it's amazing how we come to think of them as real people. My condolences.

I have 2 villages set on hard and yes, you do have to stick with them more to keep them going. That's part of the challenge, no matter how frustrating.

Sorry to hear how your game went!

I just had a village die in front of me. Well, not directly in front, because when someone dies their bones automatically get teleported to the centre of the village (to the left of the well, where you normally find the corpses). It was really weird because I just dragged some guy to go clear the blockage to the pond, and the next thing I knew he wasn't there anymore. His remains showed up in the middle of the village, though, which was kinda spooky (did he know that he was about to die, and just dropped dead on that spot in the middle of me dragging him?).
