No, order doesn't matter. According to my spreadsheet

Lotus, Rose, Black Orchid = makes a villager sick

Lotus, Cactus, Black Orchid = makes a villager run for a short while.

i wonder if the potion that makes you fertile will
work if the lady is over 50 ??????

Try and see If it works, let me know

(Edit: I don't have any women over 50 yet, so I can't try it)

Yes, thats the one I had my chief drink, that I said she made the 300 extra food. First it said she was very hungry. So I brought her to the food container and then she made the 300 extra food. I dont have level 2 of nature yet either, just lucky I guess.

The first time you take your chief to the food bin, (s)he will create extra food. It doesn't have anything to do with potions.

i was excited when i read "Orange + Purple + Cactus = the chief will make 300 food." but i tried it and got = suddenly feels very hungry

you can do it once every 24 hours if no one knew that yet

sorry, yep, I just figured that out on my own and came back to say Im sorry, not cause and effect. I was wrong. It just made her hungry. Whew. My bad.

*****Major Spoiler*****

On level 2 of your magic faction

rose, rose, berry (which is the 6th herb)

will give you fishing (which is the 11th puzzle)

No more starving little villagers!!

I Think we all need to specify what Faction were playing for these herb combo's, cause Ive been blown up a few times, just 'cause I was playing a different Faction than the one I was given for a specific purpose, for instance= Lotus-Lotus-Cactus=energy bar being raised if you have no food, but only in Nature Faction, Now someone said Cactus-Cactus-Cactus= the energy bar being raised, could that be for the Magic Faction? I'm so confused! LOL that one just blew me up in Nature though, OUCH!!
