Since we know you get to choose 5 villagers whether it be 5 children or 5 nursing mothers what is your Ideal tribe?

I will either start with:
all children (male and females as equal as possible)

Or 3 nursing mothers and 2 children (of each gender)

(On a side note I made this cause this was off the topic of discussing the images but on the topic of the game but I thought this would give us something else to discuss while we wait)

//I merged ajuma's "So, what tribe memebers DID you choose?" topic with this similar thread to help cut down on the number of threads in this forum.//

I would start my tribe with a adult male, a adult female, a nursing female, either a 14-18 year old, or a 12 year old; and a 6-9 year old that was the opposite gender of the other teenager.

Here's my ideal tribe:

a male adult, a female adult and three children

Oooh! Now here's a question to ponder...

I think ideally I would like to start with all runners! I would want 1 to be a girl of 11 or 12. I would want 1 to be a young man between 14 and 25 so he could accomplish a lot before going to the mausoleum. For the last 3 I'd like young nursing mothers between 18 and 25.

The man could farm while the mothers nurse their babies for the first 2 years. He could also father the 2nd and maybe the 3rd generations of the tribe.

The child could gather collectibles and mushrooms. By the time the other 3 babies are set down, she should be just about old enough to start working. I would probably assign her to research as soon as possible.

After the 3 nursing mothers set their babies down, I would assign 1 of the mothers to research with the girl. I would assign the other 2 as builders to get things going. When the babies turn 12, I would let all four women (the girl would be over 18 at this point in the game) take a break to start the 2nd generation.

All 3 babies from the first generation would be made farmers as soon as they are old enough to work.

LOL. You took the words right out of my mouth.

Only five? What happened to starting with seven?

Two nursing mothers - of about eighteen or nineteen; one man - eighteen or nineteen; and two children (male & female) of eleven or twelve.

I can get the guy to start farming and the kids looking for mushrooms. By the time the women put the babies down, the kids will be fourteen and ready to start working.

My ideal tribe would be 2 men with red hair, 2 females with red hair (one nursing) , and one child with red hair. The two men would be 18 - 25 and the two females would be the same. The child would be 7. P.S the reason I want them all to have red hair is because in all the VV games I have tried to get all the villagers to have the same hair color and failed; so now that I have a chance to choose I can make them have all red hair. All the generations to come would have red hair as well.

Unless you get the "more villagers fell over the waterfall" and "babies in a barrel" type events. I nearly always get blondes in the events.

Thats true that could happen.

I know there will be baby barrels, buy I'm not sure about the waterfall.
