I'm also a Tibetan Buddhist, and agree with all of the posts about the GC. It's kind of irritating to have the GC throw a bunch of parties just as the rest of the village is trying to bury a bunch of dead folks. Also, I didn't realize until the other day that when the GC throws a party, he's also auto-healing any sick villagers, while all of my doctors go back to doing their laundry.

What I would like to see is the GC actually grow up, do fewer parties, and choose a profession (or randomly go about doing whatever needs doing, healing folks, gathering mushrooms, whatever). And either make the GC mortal, or increase the number of events that can kill him. Then the village would have to come up with a replacement every so often.

I think would be neat is that in a persons details in the corner it had how many children they parented so many single,twins and triplets not all but each has its own total that would be cool for healing too. how many people have they healed.

I have another suggestion. If there is going to still be a research table, is there anyway the scientists can work on both sides of the table? When the population gets up there the one side gets so crowded. A number of times, when putting a scientist back at the table, I've accidently impregnated a female villager. I try to be extremely careful now.

i never meant it was real, I jsut said that's what most people think of due to Hollywood and the movie named The Golden Child.

Oh, I know Anthony. I didn't mean anything negative. I also assumed it had to do with the Eddie Murphy movie. I just wanted to pass down some info regarding Buddhism, like the fact that the Buddha is not that fat, smiley, bare-bellied statue everyone thinks is him.

Maybe you knocked over the Love potion she was working on

GC should have much fewer party like once a 1000 years make more berries and food how about made GC useful e.g. he can heal all sick villager not by partying he can bless the baby so baby have more skill now what you think of him?

It would be nice if they'd KEEP researching long after you've got all the tech maxed out. I don't need fifty farmers and 40 builders.

I second topping out the breeding age of females at below 45. Not that some medical miracles haven't happened, but!

I've lost track of children. I did not select anyone for breeding, but the game forced them. I had level 3 in all tech first before I even went to level 2 Fertility. Through level 1 Fertility, the children were manageable, but when I bought level 2 fertility I had an overnight explosion. I've lost the interest that I enjoyed having in individuals (I had my favorites) because I can't invest individual time in so many kids. All these kids when I didn't even have anyone chosen for breeding! If you don't have any healers to heal anyone, then people don't get healed...but if you don't choose to select anyone for breeding, then they still breed and breed and breed. I had villagers who had -never- bred suddenly erupting with children when I went to level 2 Fertility. I don't like that the game forces your population increase so strongly even if you choose it not to do so by selecting no one for 'breeding'. We can choose farmers, researchers, healers, builders, but even if you don't choose breeders, the game forces them. I have 54 people under the age of 14 overnight and topped out at 90 population. Now I have to wait till some die so I can TRY to breed from my favorites (the giggling twins who arrived in the crate. They pass the giggle trait down to their own kids. I want to keep that going.) Please, the breeding selection button would hint we have some control over breeding, but in truth it doesn't really give us much. Please, more control over breeding. If we select farming, let them farm instead!
