My nursing villager's baby was screaming and crying so they she hd the option of leaving it in a dark area to calm it down or take it to the beach and let it calm down there. I chose the beach, because the dark area seemed to suspicious grin . With the beach the baby calmed down with the calm noise.

First Event:
Click to reveal..
A kid climbed a tree and the nursing mom saw it up there. Choices: Go up and get the kid (dangerous)or Let the kid learn the consequences of its actions. I chose the first one. Nursing mom fell out of the tree and was weak for a long time!!


This one's not a spoiler. Some crook (they have CROOKS on Isola???) came and wrecked the lab. Lost all of my tech points. cry

My very first event was:

Click to reveal..
an appearance by Mr. Biggles! He said he'd been watching us and thought we were worthy of his assistance, so allowed us to choose between how to look after the tree, or how to look after the tribe. I chose the tree, he said it was a wise choice, and taught me some dendrology.

I THINK that automatically put me at level 2 dendrology and I now just need to earn tech points for level 3!



Nice event smile

This happened long before I saw this thread, so no screenshots, sorry.

An adult was told 2 children were fighting over a shell (even though I don't have 2 children in my tribe). Choose between teaching them to share it or teaching them to negotiate over who gets it outright. I chose sharing, "kids learned the lesson", and adult improved at parenting.

My first was one of my children climbed the tree and got stuck, I choose to let them find a way down and the poor thing fell and wasn't discovered for a whole day and night, however, she was fine and I leveled up in Dendrology. My second was a mushroom, I choose to throw it in the ocean and the kid got sick, but also gained research skill, so he's already an apprentice scientist at age 7

The Robber Crab

Click to reveal..
While looking for shells on the beach, Lalati spots a rare robber crab. The tails of these crabs is known to have potent healing properties.

Options were to cut off its tail or let it go. I chose let it go.

Results: Feeling sorry for the crab, Lalati lets it go. Following the crab she discovers that the crab has returned to its nest, where it has been storing food and covering it with salt crystals. She explains it to the scientists who discover an important method for storing food. The tribe gained 1 level in food mastery. grin

I got a bunch, but I only copied 1 of them.
Click to reveal..
The Aspiring Doctor

Arofa has fallen gravely ill. She is also an aspiring healer and has long theorized that water from the magnificent ocean surrounding Isola should have healing properties.

Dring Sea Water = Arofa bravely drinks her fill of ocean water from a wooden bowl. A few moments later she becomes violently ill and is worse off than before.
Better Not = ?

Click to reveal..
Villager found a rare algae (or was it a mushroom?) with bright spots on it. Choices were "Throw it into the ocean" or "Leave it alone." I left it alone, and it multiplied and spoiled the food. Villagers lost a large chunk of food supplies.

And another that had no choices:
Click to reveal..
Suspicious footsteps appeared out of the fog. Someone dropped honeycomb in the food bin, though no one saw the person. Villagers gained 300 food.

I got that last one twice on the same tribe. smile

While searching for mushrooms, Mahu sees a large, colorful fungus with bright dots on it. These mushrooms are known to be dangerous and he wonders what to do with it.

I chose to admire from afar (thanks to all the others who had this laugh ) and it did the same thing as throwing it in the ocean heehehe

there is a cylinder in the ground they will ask you if you wish to fill it top the top or to the First notch. Choose the first notch. the top will get the villagers into a heated argument and you gain nothing.

The Sealed Box

Click to reveal..
"<Name> is swimming in the ocean one day when he bumps into a floating box. It appears to be carefully sealed, and he wants to bring it back to the village, but the tide is pulling it out. It would be very risky to try and swim back with this box."

Options:
- Swim back with the box
- Let it go

I chose: Swim back with the box.
"<Name> barely manages to get the box back to the beach. Upon opening it, the tribe finds glass bottles of all sizes. These will certainly change how they work in the lab.

Your tribe gains 5000 tech points."

Result: 5000 tech points.

Needless to say I'm very happy with this one.


The Screaming Baby

"<Name is having a difficult time with her baby, who won't stop screaming. She is receiving conflicting advice from the other villagers. Some say the baby should be left alone in a dark, quiet place to calm itself. Others suggest that the baby needs a fun diversion and advise her to take the baby to the beach and dance around."

Options:
- Leave baby alone
- Take baby to the beach

I chose: Take baby to the beach
"The soothing sound of the ocean, combined with the rhythmic dancing, lull the baby into a blissful sleep. Mommy got a much-needed rest and is very grateful to the tribe for their help."

Result: Nothing?

The Arc of Brilliant Colors:
After a rain, Walter sees an arc of brilliant colors in the sky. He has seen these before and knows that they don't last long, but he would like to know what is at the end of one.

The left side of the arc appears to be near the mausoleum, while the right side appears to be dangerously close the the eastern cliff.

Run to the left side: It disappears

Run to the right side: ?


I'm not sure if anyone is already working on it but I'm making an event guide with everyone's events and results. smile

One of my children got a sore leg...had the choice to treat it by either using mashed up bark from the tree of life or mashed up rare mushrooms.

Used bark from the tree of life and he got all better, plus gained significant healing skill.

Phosphorecent fungi One of my kids noticed a mushroom that looked odd. Vhoices were admire from afar or throw itin ocean. I chose to throw it in the ocean. My kid was gripped with vivid dreams for 2 days. He woke up with a splitting headache and as an apprentice scientist.

I got:

One where a kid got stuck in the tree of life. There were two choices; Try to get down or yell for help. I chose yell for help, and my villager ended up falling and we lost 500 tech points.

I also got:
Click to reveal..
One where a villager saw glowing faces in the trees. I chose to tell the tribe and we gained 1000 tech points.

A few non-choice events;
Click to reveal..
Bees came and stung all my villagers.

Click to reveal..
A mold grew in the food bin - lost 100 food.


Click to reveal..
I also had one where I gained 2000 tech points - can't remember the event though.

The Mosquito Larvae

Click to reveal..
Waikiki notices that there are mosquito larvae collecting in the pond. Nobody wants a mosquito infestation, so the villagers decide that they should try to do something about them.

Options were to put soap in the pond or to put oil in the pond.

I chose soap: After putting soap in the pond the tribe discovers that the only effect of adding soap is that they are being eaten alive by very clean mosquitoes.

I'm not sure if the fact that the mosquitoes were biting them made a difference but many of the villagers were sick after I chose the option.

Got this one just today and I don't think anyone else has mentioned it:
Click to reveal..
One of my farmers found a pretty pink seashell. I was given the options of "Pick it up" or "Leave it alone." I had her pick it up - she put it to her ear to see if she could hear the ocean and got pinched on the cheek by a tiny crab! Now she doesn't like crab meat.

I got the crying villager in a tree, too, but the girl that climbed up to get him/her fell, was weakened, but gained a LOT of parenting skill. She was 17 and an adept parent :P

I'm wondering how I can heal her, as now she's pretty weakened...?

I got this one as well, and tried the 2nd option. Here's what happened:
Click to reveal..
"It's such a pretty shell! What's this? The shell appears to grow legs and scuttles away. Romi develops a new appreciation for life on the island."

My islander now likes learning, and gained a bit of research skill (very little)

I've decided to start a triber called "Event Tester". It's basically, I start a new tribe after every event, and keep a record of them all. Does anyone know if there is an actual count of how many events there are? 50? 25?

Got the same one, and tried the other option, just to see:
Click to reveal..
"<Villager> decides he'd better not, and waits the illness out."

The villager is still sick, but his health bar is still high. I got a healer to him quick, and he was fine.


EDIT: Thanks to whoever merged my posts. smile

Another event, no choice. This is the 3rd version I've seen of "The Mysterious Footprints" event, but this one is not so pleasant as the other 2:
Click to reveal..
One morning the villagers notices that strange footprints have appeared on the ground overnight. They later discover that someone or something has stolen some important research tools.

Your village has lost 224 tech points (all I had at the time.)

And another no choice, The Cold Snap:
Click to reveal..
"An unseasonably cold wet wing has blown through the village. The villagers were going to huddle around the fire, but the wet, icy drizzle put out the fire!"

And yep, the fire's out. lol

The Pretty Shell

Click to reveal..
Two kids have been constantly fighting over a pretty, round shell. Hio is sick of the bickering and decides to intervene. The children either have to be taught to share the share, or they will have to decide who will keep it.
  • Teach kids sharing
  • Teach kids negotiation

Teach Kids Negotiation: Nothing everything can be shared, and in this case a lesson about negotiation is more valuable. However, even after they pick an owner for the shell, one of the children feels very bad, outmatched at the debate over the shell. Still, the fighting has stopped. Hio's approach was innovative and effective, although maybe a bit harsh.

Maybe that's why I haven't had many. I've been playing for over 30 game-years and have gotten 4! Oh well, they'll come in time. Give me something else to look forward to!

I don't think it is possible to really know which option is the best choice, as the consequences of each choice seems to change randomly. What is the "correct" choice one time may give negative results if chosen the next time that same event is encountered.

This is an event. Your villagers found screaming babies in the bushes. It always gives six babies, and all of them show Joey as the father. Hope this helps. smile

Daredevil Barrel...of Babies!

[/spoiler]The villagers hear a racket in the distance that sounds like a large drum rolling down a hill. A moment later, they see a barrel with little heads peeking out of it appear at the top of the highest waterfall. Horrified, they watch it plummet down the waterfalls, until it reaches the pond. It bobs about in the water, and they manage to grab it before it sinks. Much to their relief, they find several giggling kids in the barrel, completely unharmed![spoiler]

I had the one where an adult finds a kid stuck in the tree.
Click to reveal..
Against my better judgement I decided he should climb the tree to help and my villager fell and hurt himself. His health bar dropped to about one-fifth full, He was "weakened" but not "sick". However, his parenting skills went up past adept level.

I left the game a little later and reopened it after an hour or so. I noticed he was missing, and found him in the mausoleum. He'd died because of a "work accident". frown

To make things worse, he was the only runner in the tribe; I had big plans for him. cry

This one is good! I had it before, but choose the wrong one...

The Climber

Click to reveal..
[/spoiler]Mojo decides to climb the great banyan, thinking that it would be a great achievement to climb the Tree of Life! Unfortunately he gets stuck at the top of the tree and can't figure out how to get back down.
-Try to find a way down --> The first step was a bad one. Mojo tumbles down through the branches, badly hurting his leg, and lands behind the tree. Hee lies there for a full day and night before discovered and rescued by the tribe. This time let him bond with the tree in an unexpected way. Your tribe gains a level of Dendrology tech.
-Start yelling for help --> Lose tech point because of your tribe being busy getting him out of the tree.[spoiler]

I got an event twice where one of my farmers had an idea to put pressure on the fruit while the were cooking in the pit.....the first time I choose the "it's too dangerous/don't do it option" and nothing happened....the second time I choose to apply pressure on the fruit and the villager slips and steps on the hot coals frown

I got the random event where 2 kids fight over a shell and an adult villager has to choose between teaching the kids about sharing or negotiating 3 times. Teach them sharing and your villager becomes an adapt parent. Teach them negotiation and your villager gains a little skill in every thing except parenting.

The first time I got this event I had only one kid in my village so apparently one of my villagers is a bit crazy.

Island events don't bother to count your tribe first. They will happen pretty much at random.

I have no idea why, but I got the same two events right away both times I started the game.

Click to reveal..
I got the one about the aspiring doctor getting sick and being advised to munch on tree bark from a dying tree. All that bark worked out pretty well for the tree, right? But when I had them munch the bark, they felt lots better, and became adept doctors. Woo woo! My 6-year-old has mad skillz, yo!


Click to reveal..
Then I got the one about the screaming baby. Since every mommy knows that ditching your firstborn son is a BAD idea (bats and bears and badgers, oh my!), I picked the option to dance on the beach with the child. The baby's OK, the mommy took a nap, and she added "Dancing" as one of her likes.


Oh, yeah... I got the one about the bee stings too.
Click to reveal..
One person got sick, but my new apprentice doctor patched him right up. Everyone ran around randomly for a few seconds. Very cute! Strangely enough, nobody dislikes bees...

Wow, I just had an awesome event. My villagers woke up one morning to hear crying babies. They investigated and found the babies swaddled up tight, lying under some bushes. Guess what? There were 6 babies! So now I have 6 of my women caring for them. I can't wait til they put them down. I didn't think we were going to get any adopted babies because I hadn't seen any barrels of babies. This is cool. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, I've had this a couple of times. Once I got three, the other only one. I think the reason I got less than you is that I didn't have enough housing for a larger population.

There is also a barrel of babies event; I've had this only once so far. I can't remember now how many were in the barrel.

How often do you get these random events? It seems to me that as my tribe grows, the events seem to come less frequently.

The events can occur as often as once or twice a day, and the more often you play the game, the more likely you are to see the most events. If you don't run the game at least twice a day, or you pause your game fairly often, you will encounter fewer events.

I got The Wet Book. Ricky is walking along the beach when he trips over a wet object. He picks it up and discovers it is a waterlogged book. He opens the front cover, which disintegrates almost immediately. He can read each page as it disintegrates or bring it to the scientists. I chose bring it to the scientists and the result was: Despite cradling the book in his arms and moving as quickly as possible, the book is almost gone bu the time he makes it to the lab. The only section left is one about nurturing children. the whole tribe reads it and is grateful for what they could salvage. each of my villagers gained a little bit of parenting skill. Even the 6 year old!
These aren't exact quotes but they are very similar. Yes, I named my person Ricky.

In the tribe I currently have in VV4, I've had the following events happen (my memory is a bit hazy on most, though, as I hadn't played this tribe for a very long time until yesterday):
-the mysterious fog appeared, resulting in the loss of all the tech points I had at the time (I'm pretty sure I've had that one happen more than once);
-the mysterious fog "stole" all the food I had at the time (twice in a row, and at the beginning, when they had very little food - needless to say it was more than a little annoying);
-Biggles appeared and allowed the villager to ask him a question (I think I got a Dendrology level out of that one);
-the one with the children fighting over a shell (I chose "teach how to share");
-the one where a child ate some food and had to lie or confess what he had done to the adults(he told the truth); -the aspiring doctor one (the villager got better - I think I might have had this one happen more than once too).

In one of my newest tribes, I finally got the "crying babies found in bushes" event. (I'd played half a dozen other tribes in VV4 before, this particular event never happened in any of those.) All six babies turned out to be girls. smile

No, not really, the population was pretty much balanced at the time they found the babies. I guess I just got the unlikely end of the odds with those six (same if they had all been boys). smile

I guess I didn't word it that well, sorry! I meant that the game didn't really care much for the gender balance in my tribe, and that six babies all turning out to be girls (if you consider it's pretty much 50/50 for the gender the babies turn out to be) is not that likely to happen (when compared to, say, 3 of each gender, or 4 of one gender and 2 of the other). But yes, they were a welcome addition to the tribe as a population boost goes. smile
Sorry, no screenshots. frown Those girls are now in their 30s, didn't get any screenshots of them as babies, or children, or the event itself.


Started a new tribe 2 days ago or so, and as a challenge the 5 villagers I chose were all nursing mothers. That tribe has been going on for 12 Isola years now (never paused it, but I did change it to slow game speed before I went to sleep, then back to fast the next day), and I've had 4 events so far. Since I've decided to get screencaps of all events from now on after starting this tribe, I do have photos of these ones (under spoiler tags):

Well, while the six girls one was unlikely, two of the events in the tribe involving Romilda (the villager in the white dress) really wasn't, as I only had 10 people in the tribe both times I got events involving her (the Biggles one and the seawater one). The third choice event that happened in that tribe (sealed box) involved Kali (the red-haired villager), not Romilda. smile

And I had a new event happen in that same tribe. Another non-choice event this time:

Yes, I've noticed one of the footprints events takes away all the food you have in the bin (I think there is another that only takes x units of food, no matter how much you have, but I'm not sure).
I just had the tech points version of the mysterious footprints events happen, too (it took away 2000 tech points, but I did have a lot more this time).
