You also have to have level 2 in Nature or Magic. Then the new herb will appear. It's a different herb for each faction. It is by the bath.

I think they will all starve before I get level 2 nature.
they do the rain dance, but that doesn't give them much food.
honey is all gone, and the trees can't keep produce fast enough.
poor little villergers.

Your chief can give you extra food once evey 24 hours. Just drop him/her on the food bin. Also keep your population down until you can have unlimited food. Are your children collecting mushrooms? That can help a lot.

I have a question for the VV3 Officianado's.

I have a diamond in my fire pit and it's too hot for anyone to touch it. It has rained a couple of time and I thought that would cool it down but it hasn't. I've tried getting the bucket off the lift, doesn't work. I've tried kids, master scientists, master doctors, master builders, master parents and the leader but none of them will pick it up.

I'm worried that if I don't start a fire they will start to get sick or something.

I also have a wee tidbit. If you want women to have kids but don't want to wait while they go indoors just drop the guy on top of the girl (heehee) and keep them kissing till your tribe number goes up. Then just pick up the girl and drop her and Voila, she has a baby in her arms. No need to wait forever while they go indoors.

Jldcat, I don't know whether to laugh hyterically or edit. I think I'll just sit here and laugh awhile.

Hi Jldcat,

Here's what you need to do to get the diamond.



Here's the link for the VV3 Walkthrough
if you need it.

Good Luck, Margie b

Thanks Margie

You have to send one of your adult villagers to the waterfall. They will get a bucket of water and put it on the gem. You will have to do this quite a few times until it is cool enough to handle. Then they will pick it up. Yes, that is how I increase my villagers too. We don't let our villagers waste any time they could be working now do we.

Thank you so much. I've tried to check the walkthrough out but for some reason going to it freezes up my laptop. I even saved it to my desktop but it still freezes when I go to it.

Ana, sorry about the way I wrote that, I guess I didn't get the gist at how bad it really was till I re-read it after your post. LOL It was true though.

jldcat, you're tip is a good one, no need to apologize. It just made me laugh. Laughing is good.

Ana

Jld, I thought it was hysterical. It gave me a much needed laugh while doing the much dreaded bills.

Hey jldcat,

That was pretty funny...it sounds like the kind of romance all women are looking for.

I wish I knew why your computer freezes up while looking at the walkthrough, that's odd. Do you have Internet Explorer or Firefox? Sometimes the site works best with Firefox for some reason.

Let me know if you need any more help.Good Luck!

Hey Ana and L4L A big wave hello all the way from Maryland going your way

Margie

I'm running Internet Explorer Margie. I think it has something to do with something running in the background, laptop seems really slow even after running all the cleaners. I just can't find what's running.....

There's always the LDW (the developer) website. It's hard to get to the guides though.
ldwforums.com > forum list > The Guides (at the bottom of the page)
There's a PDF you can print out under the heading
"Virtual Villagers 3 Tips, Tricks, Hints, Spoilers"

Hi Jldcat

This should be a Direct Link for the PDF guide at LDW that Sally just mentioned.Hopefully that will work out better for you.

Good Luck,

Margie b

Thanks Margie for the .pdf link, it worked perfectly.

Now I'm having a problem getting my wee people to work on the statue.

I have level 2 leadership and level 3 restoration but nothing happens when I drop my leader on the statue. It just says that she sees the statue and then goes on to do something else. I have the plans drawn up also.

Try dropping your leader next to the ststue, on the path instead of directly on the statue. Sometimes you just have to try differant drop spots. Your chief also must be an adult, not a child.

Hi Connie, I was doing just that before I came back to check here. I've dropped her at the head, at the feet, everywhere along the side that you can see, on the trail and at the top of the hill in a few different places. I've also dropped her all over the top of the fallen part and she just slides off to the back. I must be missing something. My villagers are starting to get older and the youngest ones don't have any building experience as I stupidly built everything up at the beginning of the game. The only thing that needs building is the statue.

Hi Jldcat,

If you're having problems with the statue it may be because you need an updated version of the game. Version 1.004 was created mainly for the issues people were having with that puzzle.

On your main menu look in the lower left corner and see what version you have. If you don't have 1.004 then I'll come back and give you a link for it.

You should also have level 3 Leadership not level 2. The level 3 leadership is for your chief.Lastly make sure you have a master Builder on site. The more Master Builders you have, the faster the statue will go up the hill.

Good Luck, Margie

I do have the 1.004 version. I think it's the fact that I need Level 3 Leadership that is messing me up. I didn't notice that when I was reading the walkthrough. Thanks for the help!!!

Hi-

Not to sound too stupid, but I can't get any of my villagers to get the honey from VV3, can someone tell me what the secret is??

Thanks

maggie :spring:

Place one of the villagers on the torches next to the hive.

OK I have to admit it, after reading the comments here, I downloaded and played the demo of VV2 lost children, and I got so addicted to it I bought it. Than immediatly afterwards did the same for VV3 and play both of them at the same time. LOL now that is called addicted. For 2 days solid I have played these games every waking moment that I am not busy with work. Never would I think that I would be interested in a game like this.

My husband felt bad because I named the tribe after him, and picked out a character that looked like him and one that looked like me. Well to make a long story short, his character never became a elder thereby getting his recognition of a totem pole. His Character died at the age of 65 got grey hair and he claims I worked him to death. LOL My character lived longer and got her totem pole because she mastered in 3 skills becoming a elder. I soothed his feelings though because I died also telling him I grieved myself to death because I missed him. We are buried side by side now.

Warning if you start these games it truly is an addiction. The children are my favorite part of the game, each looks so different and VV3 they are even more adorable yelling weee as you lift them up in the air. In VV3 the magical robe that turns whoever it fits into a chief ruler over the people, turned out to be a 5 year old girl. She is so adorable. Here is a hint I haven't seen written about I found accidently. Take your chief and to keep your people working touch one of your people with the chief and put him or her in front of the people. My chief in VV3 stares at them and notice comes up and says the chief is directing their work. They usually obey and do what is told for them to do and keep working. I use the chief to keep the people in line. Now she has turned 10 years old and is even more adorable. I hope others will try out the demo and see if you like the game also.

Sherryah, your story about your husband and yourself is adorable. These games do seem to be quite addictive

The buildings need lots of repair. Won't believe how many had repairing the same building at the same time. lol
