If this has been discussed before I am sorry. I did a search.

When the villagers first arrive and the population is 8, when the baby reaches 2 you find his father is the only male. ( Is this the case only 1 male per arrival?
I have only ever had one male and 3 female adults, in every game I have started.)

In one of my original games (I had to delete when I upgraded to V1.0.4) a male arrived by canoe who was a builder which helped for making babies.

But not at present with these 2 tribes.

My question if it is why are we not told who the parents of the 2 other children and the teenager are?

This makes it kind if difficult for the women, as I can only be sure the man is father of definitely 1 and possibly 2 of the children in both tribes.
1 will be nature, 1 magic.


With my 2 tribes at present only about 2 years into game, the I have decided that in both tribes the the baby and oldest child, (not the teenager,) are siblings.
Hair colour etc.
But the middle child in each tribe may be a child of one of the other women. (Hair colour etc.)
But that leaves the other women and the teenager, (head female 11 in both tribes.) having to share the male if I want them to be JOAT's!!!

But...I kind of now want to play a family based game.
And list in a notebook who is whose parent. Do like a tree!

So as the kids get older I would need to be careful about baby making.
I do not want inbreeding!!

In one tribe the male is the only male, all the children were girls.
So, I can keep the mother pregnant to increase the population and hope for a boy for the girl that is not her's, but the other 2 women would then remain childless in the game unless I get an event like the canoe.
The other tribe I have a boy so that makes it a bit easier and OK for him to make a baby with one of the other girls when he/she are old enough.

So basically I wish we were told who the parents of the 2 children and the teenager were so I do not have any inbreeding!!
