Rant of the day : Virtual Villagers

On my android I have the free demo version of Virtua Villagers and I love it! After a few attempts and getting used to the phone version (which resulted in numerous deaths and losing the game several times) I have succeeded around 5 puzzles and on my 3rd generation. However, after my two favourite villagers (Bes and City) died I've suddenly realised I have no women under 50years of age. As you gamers will know, females who reach this age become infertile and can't reproduce. So now I'm stuck with a few old ladies and a group of charming young men. I'm really annoyed, after spending a week, using all my free time, breeding and caring for my little tribe, I am face with mass genocide :( why doesn't the game give you one female child then one male. I suppose you can argue that it's realistic however - it's a game and now I'm going to have to watch all my villagers slowly died of old age (they have established self sufficiency now so I don't have to constantly drag them to the research bench or the fields or buildings. I'm a gamer. I get really annoyed with these things. Rant over.
