Well I was hopeing you would be able to strap them on the back so the moms could work but no. I only played the trial but I liked it very much from my hour of play.
I was hoping the same thing. I aslo hoped for more interaction with parnet/child. There is more to being a mummie and daddie than making babies and then when they turn two years old, leave them to fend for themselves. Yes, it is great that adults tell stories and the Chief teaches. But I would love to 'see' the sandcastle the children are playing, I would love to 'see' the see-saw work. I would have loved to see a storyteller/recorder, crafters and sadly the Commune Cooking Pot has been replaced with a Pot for Portions. I would have loved to see a school, clothes being made, celebrationings, etc. And it still takes too long to get tech points.
Now having said that, I love the Chief, the hosptial, the Commune healing bath, and so much more for the builders to do. I also love the way the teens lay on their backs and watch the clouds float by until you put them to work. The events are awesome and make the game more intersting.
My favorite is the storyline; more clues to the history of Isola, what could have happen to the island and even a love story that includes a MARRIED COUPLE
