I so understand your pain. I'm doing VV2 at the moment and I just dragged a mother who just dropped her kid to the research table, i turn to get a drink, turn back and what do i see... "Congratulations, Your village has just reached the first population milestone of 15 people!"
She was still at the research table, suddenly pop there's a kid, I asked her what the he**?!! I had plans for you. Now she'll never elder!"
