Hello,

I Played pretty well, but i have the problem that all people are dying on there age ( 80, pretty impressive).
Now how i get the people to, that are they make some babys for my village.
I have 5 Stars and 5 Hearts, all have houses and everything.
I haven't played the game but of what I've read with the baby issue is that you need empty houses and younger adults (I don't know the exact age) so they move into a new house and build a family.

10 is the age they become adults from what I've seen :)
It's a difficult game that is all about balance. You need empty houses for young people to move into and do their thing, but if you expand with too many houses you get a baby-boom and can't feed them all. In my experience it's best to slowly expand, while making sure you have food surplus. Always try to build up more and more food. With a big city, if something goes terribly wrong, LOTS of people will starve, and quickly. So I prefer to be a turtle and go slow and steady - just make sure it's not too slow, as then all your people age and die off, without enough young guns to replace them and maintain your production.

Later on, when you can afford it and the food situation is under control, you can build a Town Hall. This will greatly help you keep on top of the food situation, as you can see how much is produced and used, going back 100 years if you so please :)

Yeah! Even if you survive fast expansion, it will lead to mass dying in old age, because you get like 20 people in one generation - as they were born in short period of time, they'll die in the same short period of time, suddenly leaving you with -20 workers... ouch!

If one got too many houses - possibly because old people died short after building new homes, you can select the homes and kinda "suspend" them with a click on the "upgrade to stone house" button and pause the construction once it starts. That way I just saved my town where ~35 people died of old age and the young folks started breeding like there's no tomorrow.

In my experience one should never have more than one child per two adults. Otherwise the adults won't be able to feed that pack - and you just can't dump them into the city's well for some reason... *shrug*
Don't build to many houses to or you wind up with one adult to a house. You have to make sure you have someone to fill that house or the adults start splitting up and then you have adults not breeding.
I've found that building 1 and 1/2 houses a game year seems to work very well.
People all born at the same time - or even the same year - don't literally all die at the same time. Interestingly, it would seem each person's natural lifespan is determined at birth, and can be anything from age 60 to over 80 (12 to 16+ game years). I've discovered this by repeating the early years of the same map several times - my people always die of old age in the same order; their exact dates may or may not vary slightly between play-throughs, but no more than a month or so (though I've not seen what would happen should they be seriously unhealthy).

That's for people who survive the various chances of accidental premature death, of course: those are random.
