The bottom row of numbers (1, 2, and 3) cover the 'south' area, the middle row of numbers (4, 5, and 6) cover the 'middle' area, and the top row of numbers (7, 8, 9) cover the 'north' area. (2) Use the number keypad: the area is broken into roughly 9 grids, corresponding to the numbers on the keypad of your keyboard. (1) Left click on the ground and drag, this will move the visible area around. Learn to Navigate! You can move around the area in several different ways. Watch for sparkles! Mushrooms and collectibles produce faint white sparkles, which enable them to be spotted more easily.Ĭross Train Ruthlessly! Some tasks will require villagers with more than one skill, and it is helpful to be able to quickly shift your workforce from one task to another if necessary. Collecting relics helps fill up your energy bar quickly, and also helps extend it the more relics you find. Screenshot.Ĭollect Ruthlessly! Mushrooms can mean the difference between life and death to your tribe in the early stages, and the boost in tech points from collectibles allows you to purchase necessary second stage technology quickly. Make sure that the children are side-by-side. WARNING: do not drop a child directly onto the other, this will cause them to drop the item and go off for a jumping contest. This is invaluable in bolstering food supplies when collecting mushrooms, and in gaining tech points or energy when collecting other collectibles. If done properly and the timing is right, both children will run away with the same object. Once you are hovering over the object (and the first dropped child) hit the space bar to unpause and quickly drop the second child right next to the first. Pick up the second child and go back to the object.

Drop the child on the collectible and go find a second child. Pick the child up and pause the game (with the space bar). Learn the double collect trick! To double collect an item with children do as follows: once you spot a collectible or mushroom, find the nearest child. Just having living villagers will slowly increase the energy, but you can gain more if you convert a heathen or in collecting duplicate artifacts. Just because you have the capacity doesn't mean you have the energy, using your 'godly' powers uses that energy and it takes a while for it to accumulate again.

When you start you will only have the capacity for about 35 energy. Your ability to have more energy increases with the size of your population and the level of spirituality tech, as well as your conversion efforts. Your energy bar shows two things, how much energy you can have and how much energy you do have. Also avoid villagers who like 'rest' as they won't do a lot of work. Examine the likes and dislikes of your prospective villager carefully. Also avoid those who dislike wood or stone (they make bad builders), dislike plants or herbs (bad farmers and bad doctors), dislike fish or swimming (bad farmers), dislike lifting (bad builders) or things of that nature. Avoid any villager who dislikes 'work', 'learning' or 'running' as they will be fairly useless. Make sure you have a balance of male and female, and one (or preferably 2) children to collect mushrooms and collectibles. Plan carefully! Choose your beginning villagers wisely, the success of your tribe depends on it. Watch your levels closely! At the top of the screen are the totals of your population, your food supply, your current tech points, your faith energy, and what 'godly' powers you can access.

Continue to click and you will cycle from oldest to youngest. Click on the left arrow (when the screen is blank) and you will go to the oldest person in the tribe. This is especially helpful when trying to find children quickly. As each one comes up in the 'camera', the game will zoom to that person. Continue to click the right arrow and you will scroll through your villagers from youngest to oldest. Click on the right arrow (when the screen is blank) and it goes to the youngest tribe member. You can use this to quickly locate any individual on the island. The most useful control to learn is the detail 'camera' located at the bottom right of the screen. Learn the controls! They are basically the same as Virtual Villagers 4 with the addition of the energy bar and the 'godly' powers icons. If you've played any of the Virtual Villagers games before, some things are the same and some have changed.
