The honey and trees replenish. If your tribe has those and still starved, you either let your farmers get sick, or you made way too many villagers to early.

Are you saying, it's a big waste of money just because it's too hard?

Obrn,

I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the game. I would like to share my experience with VV3. I too found it difficult to keep my tribes alive when I first started playing. My first tribe ran out of honey before my tree mature. Then I ran out of honey and fruit before I got the next food source. It took me 6 tribes before I succeeded. Each failed tribe taught me something new. I know it is not the easiest thing to accomplish in the beginning but that, in my opinion, is what sets the Virtual Villagers series apart from the other games.

It is possible to succeed. If one approach does not work, reanalyze what went wrong and tweak your next approach. I like the challenge VV3 gives, and I do understand the frustration of a failed tribe, I really do, but if you work at it and remember to pause the game while you are gone, you will survive.

That's the thrill of it, not knowing what you are doing. I try not to look at he hint and spoiler page unless I really have to. Think of it this way, If we were put on an island and there was nothing around would we survive? I had to pause mine cause I went on vacation, I didn't want to come back to dead people. And all the time I kept thinking what to do next.
Not all games are easy to play, and not everything in life is easy either. Keep playing, you'll get it son.

thanks so much...now i can start a new tribe coz they all died from suffer of not enough food...hehe...

I love vv3 and i think you are right in saying that the point of the game is to learn from our mistakes , i made too many villagers too quick and i ran out of children to collect things , but they are all still alive except one that had an accident in the lab i am now trying to get enough tec points to get to the next level of food before they run out of food . i still think that the way to get points is very slow but i love it anyway and at 61 i dont think it was a waste of my money
