Sometimes I "audition", sometimes not. I figure that if I get different mixes then each game will be new and interesting.

When the game with the lone Cheop ended (a bad event killed him ) I restarted it, still in hard mode. The adults were two males and two females, and the kid (a boy) was a runner!

Progress so far: A good event gave me the Medicine level 2 and the adults have researched for Farming and Science level 2s. Overnight I had one of the females have a kid, and that was another boy, but I'll wait some more before having her have another or even building the hut. I'm also going to try to see if I can do this game without fishing. It may be possible once my runner is old enough to work.
