Hope for the tribe?

Hope for the tribe? - 03/31/12 01:38 AM

So I just started playing on VV5 again, and found a tribe that I had left running forever. Three kids were left alive because of an island event that kept time from passing, but one kid was caught by the heathens and converted through the event, so I have two left, a boy and girl, 6 years old, a whole pile of dead villagers, no food...any ideas on making this work? I still want to play- I think it could be interesting, but I can't find any mushrooms! They don't seem to be showing up...any tips?

Well, I would try to keep them going; an island event could show up at any moment! If you're having trouble with food, keep the tribe on "slow; people tend to eat less then. Also, keep an eye out for mushrooms!

In VV5, there are several additional options that you didn't have with previous VV games. You can have the children collect relics to re-charge or increase the powers that you have available. You can use the Hand of Bloom to spawn a bunch of mushrooms on the ground that the children can pick up and store in the food bin. You can also make it rain, so that mushrooms will show up, but I find Hand of Bloom much more effective at producing some quick food. Good luck! laugh

does the Hand of Bloom spawn mushrooms? I thought it was only for crops or the noni bush...but if it does that would be great! Thank you for your suggestions! laugh

Yep! The Hand of Bloom will spawn flowers and mushrooms if used in an open area of the village. laugh
