Does the golden child ever age? Mine seems to be stuck at 5, even though children that were the same age as him are now 7! I have NEVER touched the clock. Does he stay a child?

no he never ages....

He never seems to get ill either or die either.

Part of his magic I guess!

So the little bugger is vulnerable.....

Definitely - haven't seen it (yet) in the Windows version, but in the Palm version, my GC got attacked twice by monkeys - the first attack brought him to half-health, and the second one killed him off.

Is it wrong that I'd like to see him, like, slashed by a tiger or something? I've had enough of his constant rainbows and bubbles of serenity, his smug alien head and shiny robe of delight. Before slashing him, the tiger could taunt him: "Golden Child, you'll never grow a beard!" "Golden Child, you'll never know the Going Indoors of a woman!" "Yeah, Golden Child, make some berries with this!" You know, or something like that. Maybe he could just get dysentary or something.

I do, however, think it's funny that he's a top-notch breeder at age 5.

Top-notch, I agree, but it's all theory and no hands-on experience

I'm quite fond of the GC actually.

And he can be very helpful! He creates berries, fills the crops, creates food. And if my villagers get hit with a massive disease, he keeps through constant parties until they are all healed again and back to perfect health.

He a great little multitasker, just sometimes has a bad timing!

Anyone else notice how GC looks like Bod?

(And non-Brits will most probably be like "who?")
