I got my first one today.
He is so little and precious.
Running around in that tiny robe and doing all the things the chief does is sooo CUTE! LOL
When he gathers wood for the fire the wood is bigger than he is!
hahahaha

Cute!!
I also like a lot when the chief is a kid!!

I always like it when my tribal chief is small!

I've had two child-chiefs. I think it's funny that the little kid gets boss around the adults!

I got a child chief at the moment name Rano, he has jet black tight curly hair. I have paused the game every day and took it off pause when I play so he be a child a bit longer as I don't like to see them grow up too quick he is age 13 now I will later write his child memours later on. I got all his screen shots and put them in a speicel folder. he became a chief age 10.

I have a child chief.. he became chief at 2 years old. Now when I need a fire dance, or want him to teach the little ones or to heal a child, he can't/won't do it. I'm guessing that pulling a child onto a child, required for the healing and teaching, is "banned" behavior, but the fire dance is just puzzling--and a real problem as the tribe badly needs the rain for a third tree. I'd be happy with a child chief again--as long as he/she is maybe 9 or 10 at least, so s/he would be 14 before I need those functions too badly.

I like a male child chief.
When an old chief dies I try the kids first.
I am sad when they do not don the robe. So saldy I have to carry on picking my villagers until I find the next one. But my oldest chief when they becamne chief has been 16. So still young really.

But when I re-begin a game, I restart until I get a little boy chief!
Little girls are OK but sometimes when they bigger, she is out of action apart from food for 2 years!!
(Teeee Heeee!)

I would like to see the bundle of the baby grow in size over the 2 years Mum is carrying it around, before it starts running around. As unless you remember the Mother's age when she got a kiddie, you do not know when she will be back either for work or to have another baby.
So if the bundles got bigger then it would give us a hint!!

If you look at the Details screen, near her name there is the time that lasts. Of course it depends of the speed of your game!
Here, it's in fast Slow speed!



Edit: Thanks Meems for correcting me!

<Pardon me, Laurence, but don't you mean slow speed?:)>
I too have my child chief tribe on pause because I can't bear to see her grow up too quickly. I started another new tribe just to avoid this certainty!

All 4 chiefs I've had thus far have been female children (all under 10 years of age) Is this typical?

Thanks Meems for correcting me!

He should be able do the fire dance. I also think he should be able to heal a child, but I'm not sure. He won't be able to teach the kids until he reaches 18.

Two of my three were/are adult females; the third was a male child, age 2.

He's 14 now, and still is not allowed to teach a child (I haven't had a sick child since he turned 14). He can now fire dance, but fortunately I didn't have to wait this long--a natural event finally occurred on its own!

On second thoughts, he possibly wouldn't be able to heal a child. The game might think he's trying to teach, which he's too young to do.

i prefer male chiefs.
