117 villagers was long ago but I'm confident I'll get back there. I'm not too worried about food. When I found it like this, Buru's health meter was completely empty and food was zero. Now at 9, it's completely full with 200 in the food bin. It's sort of self inflicted. I was getting bored so kept making it harder on myself to sustain. I went to the extreme of only allowing women between 45 and 49 to have children.

Up until I started this thread, I had never paused the game.
I was actually impressed with how much one child can do when I compared the download below to the one on the first post of this thread. Little Buru is trying so hard to pad my stats I'm determined to keep this going!

I have it on half speed while he's still 9. Are you saying I should wait until he's 14 to do that?
