I've been meaning to give a tip of the hat to LDW for ages over one of those little things that so enhance this game, and after months of playing still makes me smile:

It's the very "human-like" way in which the villagers take their own sweet time walking to work, but when it's party time, or just doing something social (including mating), they set off at a brisk trot.

It's a little thing, but such a nice, human touch \:\) \:\)
