I have 18 villagers in one village all age 46, 7 age 45 and 13 age 44 , I did NOT have 38 nursing mothers at one time or 20 of them ... crazy,, at most 6 die six get born ... this is an old village I have on 1/2 speed without pause and are self sufficient, I go in to ring the Gong, do event and drag the dullards to the ocean to learn something... I am beyond thinking there is logic to this game!
