I have noticed that in most of the games, family doesn't have much significance. Your children blend in with the rest of your town. Right now, they are no different from your siblings, that distantly related cousin that hangs out by the forge, your great aunt, or the random eve that just showed up one day with her 5 kids. As soon as your kids can take care of themselves, they disappear. In real life, humans rely on family ties to survive. So I think that that should be represented in the game as well. I know that OHOL wasn't made to perfectly imitate real life, but I think family needs to be more important. Nothing huge is necessary, but maybe having kids be more dependent on you (like up until they're ten or so, idk). What do you think? Please add on your suggestions if you have them.
Because we think that it's interesting!
Wow. That's a really interesting idea. Xoomorg, one of the things I would be worried about (if people somehow managed to get themselves together and establish this sort of civilization) is that because of the specific roles for each gender, people will probably prefer one gender over another, leading to mass suicides among babies until they get their preferred gender. Because women have a cool down period between each kid, I would be afraid that they would grow old before producing enough babies. If most people want to be guys, they will suicide until they get to be guys, making the births of females who are actually willing to be female, and contribute to the community, few and far between, leading to a drop in birth mothers who will replace their own moms after they grow old, and there will be less people overall. If most want to be girls, there will be too many moms having more kids than they community can support. People will suicide to be girls, and there won't be enough boys in the outer villages producing goods to bring to the moms, and the other villages that don't produce that specific thing. Sorry that I'm spiraling I am a very organized person, and so many villages that I am spawned into are very hectic, which as you can imagine makes me VERY annoyed. So I like this idea because of how structured it is. Apologies for the rambling. I tend to do that a lot!
omg yess!! especially the "rescuing" thing and the "stealing your stuff" thing.
Hello! So what are some of your biggest pet peeves while playing OHOL? Mine are when eves don't assign themselves a last name and so many many people don't have last names. Also the fact that parents don't assign first names to their kids! It drives me crazy. I always remember though. (: What are some of your guy's biggest pet peeves?
