I thought the children in VV2 were suppose to be a combo of the parents. Yet, two gray/white haired parents have spawned bright red and brunette children. Wassup with that?

Obviously the child's hair was a combo of it's parents hair. (I think).

But both parents had white/gray hair. Not from aging. Father is 30 and mother is 28. Thought it was odd. Truly enjoying VV2 tho.

I can't produce blond babies anymore in my tribe. I guess the blond gene is lost.

amee, I'm having that problem with my second tribe - dark grey and kind of a rusty ash brown are the lightest I've been able to get. not a blond or a redhead in the lot.

Was Arthur telling us fibs about children looking like their parents?? I just find it hit and miss, much like VV1, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't......and I've had more then my fair share of the male monkey heads and the female helmet heads (the ones with the short hair glued to their heads with the blue flower) and believe me, they look nothing like their parents!!

Best of Irish,
Maura

It annoys me how my two blonde villagers get a dark-haired girl!!!!

It seems in my master village, blondes are extinct...

What Arthur actually said was:

Quote:
We are also testing a new feature where the children will more correctly resemble their parents.

That statement leaves a lot of room for deviation! \:D

I have two identical children - same clothes and everything, 2 years apart in age, both with completely different parents. They are extremely cute, so I'm not complaining, but all of the boys in their cohort are ugly bugs and I will be very reluctant to mate these lovely girls with such brutes!

I have a tribe of brunettes - the starting generation had all black hair in various forms, plus two males had pony tails and three females had the touseled hair with a flower. This trait has been passed down through several generations. For some odd reason a couple of brunettes produced a blond guy, but that's been the only deviation of hair color. His "birth certificate" claimed certain parents, but I'm wondering. A viking on a ship visiting or something?

After reading this thread I hurried and paired up some parents with blond hair so I wouldn't "run out", LOL. It paid off and now I'm waiting to see the next generation of twins. I'm hoping for blond twins. \:\)

I have a tribe almost entirely composed of redheads. Their hair varies from a reddish-brown to a full flaming red. Out of the current ninety, only about five are blonde or brunette. There was no specific breeding plan on my part; it just happened that way.

I just saw my twins. One set were two girls with curly red hair and the other set two boys with blondish hair. It's not yellow blond but close enough. I can then pair them up with some yellow-blond girls I have. This is almost like science.

Amee,

I had this problem and nearly everyone of my 90 had red hair or that purple auburn color. Then I had one blonde boy - the cute one - and the girl with long blonde hair. So eventually the recessive blonde gene will apppear - I guess just like in real life. Now I have 115 villagers and at least 50% are blonde. In one of my newer tribes I have all blondes. I have found that the weird looking guy with the blonde curly mohawk makes really pretty kids. But generally, it seems when a blonde has a baby with a brunette you usually get red. I always get blondes when I mate two blondes. I have also gotten the real pretty girl with the long strawberry blonde hair quite often from a coconut head male (sorry) and the white haired girl with short spiky hair.
