Awesome story, these are the kind of moments that make this game so special.

Unfortunately, most civs end in an overpopulated disaster, but the journey from conception to collapse is still a fun one.

Honestly, this is a major problem...with the composting system I do not have much time to mentor new players. I am busy frantically running to get reeds or find a bush with 4 berries, when I could be explaining the basics of things to newbies. Most people I have met still don't know how to compost, so I get stuck with the job in most villages. I try to teach others, but since it is multistep process that often involves scavenging for essentials, it is not an easy thing to teach.

I feel that each mother, or a mother of a mother should be able to assign a role to a child through some kind of formal method. Or at the very least, a well oiled village should have one person be the designated mentor as their sole job.

Yup, this happened to me tonight. My sisters and I inherited a nice working farm, but collectively we kept popping out kids and we overpopulated our area and most of us died. Myself and two others lived and reared the next generation, but I warned them they might have to migrate since the land was so decimated from overpopulation and a lack of resources.

Yes that is a huge problem. I hate when the only baby girl waddles away at camp and gets herself killed. If somebody named her, and showed her the ropes, hopefully she would be guilted into helping. I know I would have a hard time disobeying a mother who named me, nursed me and confided her trust into me.

There must be a bug with your game, since I am able to get on a server no problem.

Reach out to Jason,  and he can offer you tech support.

Copied from older discussions.

You can join new servers by changing 2 files in the settings folder:  useCustomServer - change the 0 to a 1

customServerAddress - change localhost to server#.onehouronelife.com # = the mainserver you want (with this map its 3 so server3.onehouronelife.com) if you want to play normally again just change the 1 back to a 0

One big problem of this, is that often you spend all that time raising a child to adolescence, only to have them randomly die.

The worst is when you are nearing old age, and your last kid dies of hunger when there are plenty of carrots to be had.

I am not sure that males are as big of a hindrance as people seem to think. They can be used as the workhorse class of a society, since you do not have to worry about nursing children or moving far away from camp as a male. Males make good trappers and hunters and they also are good gatherers of seed, water and soil for the farm. If a society has too many females, then it will also overpopulate much quicker.

The problem is that when a village starts to spawn tons of kids in short succession, some kids will inevitably be neglected and die. If the females are neglected, then this is not good at all for the village. There needs to be at least one female baby that is taken care of in each village to insure survival.

I survived as a boy with my first feral eve mother, I helped her setup a camp and things were looking up for us.

Unfortunately, all of my sisters and brothers died randomly and left me stranded. I built the camp into a decent farm for future eves who might stumble through, I wish that I had been able to pass it to someone in my lifetime.

Indeed, if anything it should take multiple hits to kill...the first couple hits can take a few health bars, and the third could be fatal.

The server is a bit laggy this morning, my player got stuck when he was trying to cut down reeds in the marshy area to the left of town. Somebody might want to look for my body to recover the clothing and wheelbarrow.
