I love the game! I have nature instead of magic. The only thing I don't like is the mothering time. I always keep mine on 2x so they can get back to work faster, but that's still 2 years they could have been close to mastering a skill.

The map is great. All of the new things in it make the game more interesting.

My favorite thing would have to be the new expressions and actions that the villagers have. Looking up to the sky, putting their hands on their hips, ect.


Great Job LDW!!!!!

I really loved VV1 and VV2. I do like alot of the new things in VV3. I have all 5 tribes at level 2 on all tech's and faction and now find that to get any further ahead, I must keep them all at fast speed and just check back on them every hour or so. Trying to get enough points to do further puzzles it taking much to long. About all I can do at this point is keep them fed and breeding when there are too few little ones to collect goodies. The tech point issue is a big draw back.

I agree with the tech point issue. I'm just stuck now. Nothing to build at this point until I get more tech points. I've got at least 15 people at the research table. Perhaps I'll just start another tribe.

I love the new things the children do and my favorite is the playing in dirt.
I love VV3, and as I stated in a different thread my hubby says I spend WAY too much time with my villagers. He even laughed at me when I told him that in the pictures of the Magic Fish & Magic Plants, they left out the Magic Fish of Mutation. He just laughed and said I play all these way too much and will be grounded from the comp for a while if they come out with a VV4, PT2 or FT2 (Like I'd listen to him).

people say tv & computers break the tradition of family but this game has meant cross refferencing & game strategy talking betwee me & my 18year old who is now into the game as is one of his friends my son has aspbergers so is has not got the social skills of some kids & his interests are usually hotwheels, airfix, lego noy really my hot topics. Now he is asking for hints we.ve been talking about the forums the puzzles etc so thankyou LDW for helping my family connect :)))

I waited so very long for this game. I bought it right away. I've been playing it pretty much non stop since I got it.

I was delighted to see that some of the suggestions that we players made were taken seriously (ie including weather and a need for leadership).

As always the graphics are pretty and I wish I could have a larger version of the reef as a screensaver. Overall I am enjoying the game.

BUT...

I was VERY disappointed to see that nursing mothers still can't work and still get NO parenting experience for their efforts. I'm starting to think the design team are misogynsitic. Let's face it... who's the better parent? The male who makes dozens of babies and then has nothing to do with them or the female who has one and devotes years to its care? CHANGE IT for vv4!! I can guarantee that if this doesn't change for vv4 I won't be buying it. Yeah I am that ticked off by this. (and offended too)

I'm very happy except that I can't tell the difference between age 13 and 14. They don't have the dramatic growth spurt at 14 as they did in previous games. I'm constantly grabbing 12- and 13-year-olds trying to make them work. Or, someone will be standing around doing nothing, and I don't realize he turned 14.

I hate VV3. I love 1 and 2. But in 3 and this is the 4th time i started over, if my screen gets off of the chief while they are moving the statue, then he leaves. Sometimes, he even leaves while on the screen. If i close the game, he leaves. this time i have had the screen sitting on him for 12 hours running at 2x and finally got the statue at the top of the walkway, however because i can only get 7 workers up there, i estimate it will take another 12 to 14 hours for it to get in place. If my chief dies this time, i am finished with VV3 and will go back to 1 and 2. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. It is not fun just letting the computer run by itself for 24 hours to get it done.
