I have difficult = low, speed = normal

I had trouble with the health of my villagers when I had the speed on fast. (that was my 3rd attempt. but it was an attempt on the unregistered version.)

Ah, I have health problems now and then but I think its just the food issue. Some of my villagers are lazy so and so's who wont work when I turn my head. They all have the ablity to fish and farm but dont want to. I've caught a few just sitting down complaining about not knowing what to do. XD

I just made one guy a breeder just for a few minutes while I watched tv. When I came back he had 6 ladies pregnant and there's one new baby running around. XD Boy was I quick to un-breeder his behind. XD Good thing incest has nothing to do with health.. *lol*

ARGH! The curse continues. :/
Last night I had two new babies, a new hut, and found a crate of food. Huzzah!
This morning I had "New Game" and had to register again. I didn't do anything but put the confounded thing on my desk by the bed and didn't even have a computer with me that I could connect it to if I'd wanted to.
So, I started over... again... and poisoned my best farmer with a yellow potion that, upon drinking it, turned her very ill. And I've no idea when I'll get around to making a doctor.

Speed=Normal, Difficulty=Medium

I think I should either trade for the smoking treo or uninstall the game to give the poor islanders a break from my torturing them with this cursed machine! lol

Forcing you to start a new game is not normal behavior for Village Sim. Just out of curiosity, how much free memory do you have on your Tungsten E? I'm wondering if that might be part of the problem. Having enough memory won't prevent poisoning your villagers, but it helps the game run better.

Free Memory is 18.2Meg, or 63%. I've got a memory card but am not trying to run this off of there. I tried that once a few days ago and it kept crashing so I decided running it off the card wasn't recommended after all hehehe.

I always seem to be on the path of starvation. what can I do about the bush going dry before getting my second harvest?

My berry bush runs dry about the time I get the farm up and going unless monkeys come and eat all the berries or a flock of birds come and denude the poor thing. I haven't starved anybody to death yet, but I don't have 'em start making babies until I've got farm 2 because I'm scared of having rotting corpses all over, running out of food and turning them into fans of long pig. EEP!

Hmmm what level of diffifculty do you have your game on? How fast is your game speed?

Oh. I'm middle of the road on both usually.
Speed=Normal, Difficulty=Medium.
I say usually, because if I'm going to be sitting there actively playing with them I put it on fast speed.
