The game Many Years Ago might be compared to Virtual Villagers and My Tribe. However, the game is easier to understand, tasks are finished much quicker (such as building and gathering resources) and the game does not go on when you exit. Help your tribe to improve their settlement. This guide is basically divided into three parts, namely general tips, a walkthrough and the mini-games. We hope that it will be a helpful reference for you.

GENERAL TIPS

  • In the profile of any tribe member you can change the name. The circle indicates the age of the tribe member. When it is full, your tribe member dies.
  • Babies distract your adult tribe members from working, so you should always direct them to the kindergarten when they left it by accident.
  • Your tribe members have four basic needs: Hunger, which can be satisfied by eating at the food storage (Fish, Coconuts, Fruits, Bread and Eggs), thirst, which can be satisfied at the river or at the springs later on, sleep, which can be satisfied at the houses/main house and Family, which can be satisfied by communication.
  • When babies grow up they are not adults immediately. In this interphase they can only forage and fish.
  • The Chief of your tribe is indicated by a mask in his profile. Do not forget to improve the skills of your tribe members by using the experience points in their profile:

  • Pick up coins in nests whenever you see one, because they offer additional XP-points. There are three nests scattered throughout the islands. By the way, the birds that are flying around the island occasionally drop these coins into the nests (they are especially easy to be seen from the map. Check the nests by using the map regularly):
  • Select your Chief and click on the longevity flower which is indicated on the screenshot below to make him younger again. Only your Chief is able to eat this flower:
  • If and which fruit a tree is offering can be seen below any tree. In the example on the following screenshot it is a coconut tree:

       

  • If a tribe member is sick, there are two indicators – firstly this person will refuse to work, secondly there will be a sign above its head in the menu as you can see below:
  • Pick up gems whenever possible and wherever you can reach them:
  • Right-click on foundations of future buildings to see what it will be.
  • On the screenshot below you can see numbers assigned to all the buildings, the legend below the screenshot explains which number stands for which building. Only the houses are not listed, because you decide for yourself where you build them.

  • Assign one of your tribe members to a fruit tree and another one to a palm with coconuts. Wait until they have gathered the required 50 fruits.

Task 3 – Build Kindergarten:

  • To finish this task you need to cut new wood and to break stones, because your current materials do not suffice for this new building. Therefore you also need two new tools. You can find those near your Main House immediately after finishing the second task:

  • At first you should concentrate solely on gathering materials, because your tribe members will keep eating. To store this huge amount of wood and stone you also have to build a second Material Storage. You can do this from the "Build"-Menu. Ideally you should build it between a stone source and some trees to keep the carrying tracks short.

Task 28 – Build the Ship:
