Thanks and in real life too

I got my game today and what I expected to happen from the demo until I bought the game is that they all had died. But I started over using the Monks guide and I feel comfortable leaving them alone tonight. I've been running it at 2X but will change that before I turn off the computer tonight. I have one villager who's is the only farmer I have and she works all the time either farming or researching on her own ( she was a gather, then researcher and now a farmer). My question: can she work too much? there's only one other villager who works almost as much as she and he's a builder. I don't want her to have any children yet. But I do have a new 2 year old and the first child is almost old enough to train. I'm thinking of training her to be a farmer and give my first farmer a rest and have a baby, if that's a rest I feel secure that they won't go hungry. How much further in the game should I be before I have another baby??

Thanks.

I guess I wished they were animated, so I wouldn't have to do everything for them. I'm loving this game!! as I feel more comfortable, I'm going to start another village on a different difficulty level, when I have a day to devote to getting them started and with enough food so I won't have to worry about them when I'm not watching.

Humph. I'm even older than that advanced age. I don't have the skills to be an Elder, though. I was useless at Science at school and the back yard is a mess; I definitely don't have green fingers. I can't see any fun in fishing, either. I'm useless at DIY and know nothing much about medicine. Finally, I've no kids or parenting skills. I'd be a pretty useless villager, all told.

That's funny! Why don't you name one of your villagers after yourself and make them an elder, for the thrill of vicarious living? (Of course, there is the sticky problem of watching 'yourself' die afterward.)

LadyCFII, where can i get emoetions from like yours?

You can buy them from http://www.smileycons.com

Thank-you i'll try out the free ones later.

Most of the free ones carry computer viruses. I know from experience.

Yes, Jazzo, most free smilies usuallycan carry viruses. But not allways.

Right then i can either try them or not what do you think?
