Can anyone tell me how many Island events there are? Does it depend on what level you're playing at?
Thanks!

There are dozens of island events, and they occur randomly! You'll probably not see them all in a single game!

Cool! That's good to know. I'll definately play the game again on a harder level to see what happens!

No factual data here, but there seems to be a coralation with tech levels and island events. See stat poll.

I figured there had to be a corrulation- just wanted to be sure. If I played on a tougher level I'm sure I'll run into terrible island events!!

I'm playing on hard, and finding no no island events appearing..... however, please join me if you are after the challenge, it is very hard to control food, research and babies

I'm still on Low, but I got an island event that totally maxed out my fertility research!! That saved me a ton of time. Whooo HOooo!

I was hoping for an event that would age my villagers (read that as get the kids working), but unfortunately have not experienced one so far

I got one that upped my spirituality too!!

Best Events I've Had So Far:

Gained Fertility Research.
Gained Spirituality Research.
Someone became a Master Healer.

I nearly finish solving all puzzles after 112 hours, I have 5 events so far, the worst one is a storm wiped out all food supply. The best one is an outsider gave us new medicine for instant medical research upgrade.

I love this Sim Village

i probably have the worst island event.
my research table was contaminated. i did not choose to risk contamination and scrapped the research instead. it said it will not delete all of my tech points... but more than 100K tech points were gone! bummer!

Hi, I have noticed the first visitors to the island where hardworking and did what was needed to survive and boy did they work. As the generations progress and huts are built, there is food, and life is generally good, this later generation of folks, spend more time swimming, relaxing, walking in the garden, enjoying the lagoon, some have got the best built bodies as they are forever excercising. Is this my little island problem or is this general?

Problem? That sounds like utopia.

Losing 100k tech points to a research contamination sounds more like a problem to me.

whaaaat????
i was building up those tech points to buy science.
oh well... have to move on. i cant wait to finish my game

kitkat, hang in there....don't scrap your game, cause you will just have to earn those points again later.....plus restart your whole village!! It certainly does get easier and quicker the further you are in the game

i did not restart the game. i guess im patient enough to wait for them to re-earn those tech points.
but my "official" game is currently on hold. im trying to help the ldw pips to test 1.1

hey kitkat, my worst event was also having the whole research table scraped off! A monkey took all the points away! But at least i didnt hav many tech points then..

I have just syarted playing four days ago, and although I am having fun, I don´t seem to progress in the game.Although I have managed to solve puzzles 4 and 5 I can´t solve puzzle 3. Island events seem very few, is this normal?

A lot of the puzzles need certain conditions to be able to be solved. I am not 100% sure which one is 3, but if it is what I think, you just need to continue building up a strong healthy village (this includes making sure they have plenty of food), and the puzzles will slowly start coming together

As for Island events, I don't think there is any way to predict what or when you will get them, so I wont be too worried that you haven't seen many yet

Savi

no what really works if u get a choce is to click like drink it and if somthing bad happens restart ur pda and it wont save it

Puzzle 3 is related to building I think.

I didn't know where this question should go. Be that as it may, my Golden Child was born. I got all the women pregnant...or so I thought. At closer look, there is a striking woman with platinum hair who was never pregnant. The Golden Child was not cared for by any of the other women;their offspring are all accounted for. Is this a coincidence, or is this woman supposed to be the "mother" of the Golden Child?

The Golden Child's birth does not occur in the same manner as that of normal children. The child can be born to any woman in the village, however there is no period of nursing. This child skips the baby stage so the mother is never carrying him or her around.

So I've had full research for a couple of days, and many children born, but no GC. Is it just a matter of patience? (Not my strong suit.)

Yes, it's just a matter of patience if you have fully researched all village tech and completed the prerequisite puzzles. The birth usually happens within a fairly short time, but one person reported having waited 41 days for puzzles 10 and 11 to unfold! That's something that's being looked at for the v1.1 update.

So I have only 9 of 12 puzzles solved (the first nine). Does that mean I'm waiting in vain? Are there other things I need to solve before GC shows up?

No, you're not waiting in vain. Once you're at that point in the game, you just need to be patient and make more baby villagers as space allows!
