i generally wait until last child is 11 before having another baby

i use my kids to collect mushrooms for the food - shells, and butterflies for the points. Meanwhile I start all adults researching. I try to get science L2 first, then i go on and get what i need to build the dam.

if for some reason the kids don't look like they are cutting it, i'll start the dam early, training only one person for the job, and ocassionally have one of the researchers fish.

i always leave the game on 1/2 speed at least until the dam is complete, frequently longer
