Planting Seeds
Make sure you plant your first seed as soon as you start the game. The quicker you plant seeds, the quicker trees will appear and expand your village.
Collectible Tablets
You cannot start collecting tablets until your rubble cleaning project is at 2 percent. The tablets will be found near the rubble.
Builders and Scientists
Of all the professions of the game, you will need Builders and Scientists more than any other. Builders are needed to make new structures, and scientists are needed to improve your technology.
Village Chief Powers
The village chief has three different powers, each can be used once a day. Dropping the chief on your food bin will give you +100 food. Dropping the chief on the podium in the amphitheater can give the village children skill points. Dropping the chief at the top of the village stairs can yield a rare collectible.
The Chief and Project Completion
Dropping the chief on any project will ensure the project is completed faster.
Time Manipulation
Since the game time is based on your computer's clock, changing the time on your computer will change the time in the game.
More Mushrooms
Once you see a mushroom, pause the game. Drop two children onto the mushroom while game game is paused, then unpause the game to find that the children have both picked the mushroom, giving you two.
