ok... I played on "normal" They all started out as children except two adults and one child old enough to work. Can you choose a tech level when you start? And.... how do you pause the game? Once mine paused and I couldn't figure out how to unpause it! Yes, my villagers fished until the algae came... then i put them on coconuts, but once they were depleted they worked on the dam but all died before it was finished. Thx for your help and keeeeep it cominnngg pullease!! LOL CruellaDeCat
