Speaking of runners...I DO hope that in VV4 the peeps will move a little more quickly. I recently re-played VV1, and checked to make sure that I hadn't gotten a tribe of all "non-runners"!
The peeps in VF seem to move at a good pace for me.
Back to the topic: I'll probably choose a young adult male, young adult female, one nursing mom, one pre-teen and one child (opposite genders) for my FIRST family. After I see what kinds of things the nursing moms can do, I'll experiment with different compositions.
I was just thinking that you probably wouldn't want to choose a nursing mom if you're shooting for an all-same color hair tribe.
AND wouldn't it be cool if Ms. Rainbow, Mr. Spike, Ms. Blue and Mr. Mohawk make an appearance? Or at least their prehistoric cousins!
