That bug was fixed a long time ago. you should not have continued playing from a bugged save but anyway...Thank you again for the help. I completed the Cold Moors hex, and the village is abandoned. Still, I only have three workers to distribute. Looks like I may be a victim of the bug related to simultaneous improvements. Is there a fix?
The only fix is to play again from scratch or cheat by opening up the console (shift+o) and typing:
population = 4 (then press enter)
freepeople = 1 (then press enter)
