I do not seem to be able to increase the population in my village over 10. As I recall in VV1, at this point (with level 2 of construction and one hut built), I should be able to go up to about 13. At about that number in VV1, I could start on another hut to allow even more villagers.

Is this one different in that respect? What do I need to increase my population?

In case it matters I have level 2 in Farming, Construction and Science. Still at level 1 in other areas.
