Just curious if anyone got all their original villagers to make elder? I've tried but one or two always dies before they make it.

I have only made one elder from the first villagers i started off with.

Generally yes! but sometime there is one who dies before
I specialy try to makes the 7 original villagers Elders. Maybe because it's those I prefer

In most of the games I've played at least two or three of the original villagers make it to Elder, often four or five. I can't ever remember all seven making it, though. On the other hand, it may have happened and it hasn't occurred to me to check.

with my old tribe all 7 became elders but now it is just a race to get them there..... some do some dont make elders.
