The way this game was design you can only play on a small map. This here is where lies a major flaw in the design of this game. They can't eat from a house that is already occupied that is not theirs because that would make things so much easier. I've noticed that for the most part they will most likely return to the house they were born in to eat. Some will go to the nearest Market or Storage Barn to eat but not all. However, if you have a large population of over 300 villagers and you're playing on a large map just think of the distance the villagers have to walk to get back to their house for food. If you have a small town and everything is in close proximity to each others then assigning villagers at random (or from the last placed house?) is not a problem. However, if youI thoroughly enjoyed this game, however my only gripe with it is the randomness mechanics (or so it may seem, perhaps it assigns by the last placed house?) of assigning villagers to replace a recently dead one.
