Oh, this is so irritating! I just love VV5, but just like the event in VF, where a coworker complains, and you lose all progress, this is almost a game spoiler. In my new village, they're doing really well, I almost had enough tech points to upgrade science, then an event just took away 2000 tech points! After hours of babysitting them, so the rascal didnt go to "watch people work", I have it all to do over again. Aaargh! Well, I guess thats life, haha.
(editing to counter that negativity, lol, I really do love it)
I did find a way to keep my founding villagers in time, after thinking I could save the crypt for later (whew!) I did it 2nd in the next village. I do like that its more challenging, it just makes it more fun when you figure things out. And I think the way the 14 yr olds lie around in the circle waiting to be told what to do, and your pop is at max is just hilarious! VV5 is going to hold my attention for a long time, thank you Developers!
