Anonymous 1: have a look at the info screens for the Tech levels. The info given on harvesting should help you understand more about fishing. Most of us who have had to play quite a few games, change our strategies as we go, but there is a fine line regards how many villagers are needed to look for food, and how many to research. You just need to play, watch, and find what works best for your game style

Anonymous 2: children must be 14 before they start doing useful tasks in the village. Like the adults, some are quick to pick up their tasks, and some need a bit more persuasion

Everyone: I am convinced that these villagers are just like humans. I'm sure you all know some lazy people, and others who are very dedicated to their work/tasks. Why does everyone expect that our villagers are going to be any different!! I thought Arthur and co were aiming for some reality here, and that's what we have as far as I am conecerned!!
