Hi,
what skill do you need for discover puzzle 12. i couldn't make anyone solve it . I'm in the wright place. Thanks

Why don't you check out the village sim guide? You can find it here

You need to ensure that you have level 3 in building and science as well as a master builder with some skill in research (my villagers are masters in one area, but have some sort of skills in all the other areas). Then I take all my builders (and change skill preference for some to construction) to where the master builder is digging.

hey master player, how do you burried the dead?

hey how could it be that your maximum population is 65 only while your villages born was 75?

You said it yourself: she buried the dead ones, which is why there have been more villagers born than her max population. If you play long enough, you could have hundreds of villagers born and still not increase your max population - the babies take the place of the older villagers who die.

The ability to bury villagers is one of the puzzles and depends upon discovering the right place after you purchase a certain Village Technology. In general, the best way to discover things in the game is to drag one of your adult villagers around the island after every tech purchase and look for new things that they can work on.

Thanks Barbara for explaining it.
