I wanted to increase my population yesterday, so I set 8 women to parenting and made up a fertility potion. One character, Buculi, walked over to the cauldron, drank the potion, and turned around with a baby in her arms! There were no male villagers nearby...

Anyone else have a miracle baby?

Darou?!? Never seen or heard it - my fertility potions failed. Are you sure she hadn't just embraced somebody? They don't have to make it to the hut to have a chance of a child, they only have to complete the embrace.

It could have been she successfully embraced, than drank the potion, and the child only showed up after that animation completed . . . or something. It's only my random guess based on a light-to-medium knowledge of programming, so I may be wrong.

I think you must be right about the animation sequence. I made up the potion, paused the game, rounded up my 8 women in the bath and set them to parenting. Then while it was paused I dropped them all at the cauldron. There was one joint 'slurp' and a magic flash. then she turned around with the baby. So perhaps it just consolidated the animation? Or I have a really fast and amorous male who zoomed in on all those fertile women!

love this game...a great distraction from real life ;\)

When the baby will be 2 years old, tell us who is the father on the details screen! \:\)

Yes, the detail screen shows who either parents are. \:\)

Did you maybe have a male taking the potion as well by accident? I know sometimes when I drop a villager to do a task they 'Embrace' rather than doing the job.

Well, I don't think the potion gave her the child; I've never heard of that, and I know most of the potions. The fertility potion in particular does not seem to be a guarantee of getting a child, even if the villagers do go indoors.

Was there another male in or near the bath, that might already have been heading indoors? Perhaps your lady villager had just been propositioned successfully. When you drag away a woman that is heading indoors, and is about to come out with a child, she will stand there a moment before the child appears. I think that you grabbed a woman heading for motherhood with Mr. Right, and the baby only showed after the potion-drinking animation was completed.

Just my guess.

Lurkily's solution seems to be the most probable.

That does make sense Lurkily. I always speed kiss so my villagers never even go to the hut. I also have not found any acceleration in birth rate with the fertility potion.
