Okay, so I just discovered that nursing mothers can keep building skills.

Is this intentional, or have I discovered a glitch?

I currently have four nursing mothers, and all of them have just becomes Adept Builders or are close to becoming Adept. They started out with nothing. One had a little bit, but wasn't a Trainee yet.

Is this a feature or a glitch? If it's a glitch, it's a great one! They used to be completely useless in VV: A New Home, but I bet with several pregnancies I can get them to Master status! No more wasting time while they just sit there doing nothing! I hope it doesn't get fixed in a patch.

I've also just discovered that stew can be made quickly by using four villagers at once. Why have I been doing it the slow way (using just one) all this time....

Oh, and is there an actual difference between Easy and Hard mode? I started one tribe on Easy and one on Hard, and haven't seen any difference except that the Hard tribe got more little kids than the Easy tribe. Is that all?
