Level 2: Gives you more energy capacity and allows the statue upgrade (with construction level 2). The higher the level the more food you get from gathering food. Level 3: You get the third hut and the final level of the Hand Statue. Level 2: The second hut can be built, as well as the next level construction of the Hand Statue and the repair of the aqueduct for the farm. Level 3: The nursery foundation school appears which is meant to train children.

Level 2: Villagers learn tasks faster and therefore reach the master level faster. Level 3: Villagers live until their late 70’s and beyond and it increases fertility even more. It also upgrades the hospital and increases fertility. Level 2: Villagers live longer, until their late 60’s. Level 3: You can upgrade another lab and get more tech points faster. Level 2: Allows you to build the clothing hut and makes sure the lab is restored so the heathens with the purple mask can be converted. So in total there are 12 upgrades you can buy. Each technology has 3 different levels, and all start at level 1. The “Technologies” menu can be found by clicking “Tech” in the lower left corner of the screen. Virtual Villagers 5 – New Believers has 6 technologies that can be researched: Science, Medicine, Learning, Construction, Food Mastery and Spirituality. Devotion is increased by converting heathens with blue masks and honoring the statue. The more devotion the more effectively you can instill faith in heathens. Telling stories and doing some teaching at the nursery school also helps with increasing your parenting skills. The best way to improve your parenting skills is to just simply have more children. Having good parenting skills means you can make babies easier.

Improving your healing skills means you can cure illnesses faster. Studying at the hospital has the same effect. Healing sick villagers increases your healing skills. You can improve your research skills by doing research in the lab.

It’s best to use male builders, as females might be occupied raising babies and therefore aren’t busy building.īy acquiring research skills you gain tech points. The building skill is useful for building structures faster and will increase with dismantling totems, working on the statue and doing repairs. Make sure there’s at least one person collecting food. The farming skill can be improved by picking berries, harvesting crops from the farm and fishing. Farmingįarming obviously is food collection, the more farming skills the more effectively you can harvest food. The highest skill level will be shown at the bottom of the screen when you select a villager, and furthermore it will show you which level they are. For each skill there are three levels: Apprentice, Adept and Master. Of course the more experienced they are in a particular skill, the more efficient they become. In Virtual Villagers 5 there are six different skills your villagers can master. If for example you want a villager to do some farming, set his/her preference to “Farming” (select a villager and click “Details” on the bottom right). Make sure to set preferences for your villagers. That way you’ll avoid major issues with your villagers. So it’s best to switch to “Normal” or “Slow”, or even “Pause” the game when necessary. But keep in mind when you leave the game, it continues.
