That's an idea! Choose a "Fashion Victim" tribe, where every villager is wearing clothes that won the competition!

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!

Getting back on topic, I'd take one runner male (18-23 ish), a runner female (nursing; about 18-20 ish), and two children about 12-13; one male and one female (the third child is being nursed).

To get some diversity, I'd make sure the young man was black-haired, and the young woman was blond. I'd make sure that the young girl was black-haired and that the young boy was blond as well. That way, I can get black haired, blond, and redheads from that tribe.

My ideal first tribe would have 2 adult males 2 adult females and 1 kid. I don't think I want runners though. I want to see how fast they are on their own first. For their outfits and hair I would only choose the villagers with the new outfits and new hairstyles just to see what they look like. Or maybe I'll just choose the first 5 villagers I see just to look at the game. Then once I buy it then I will carefully pick out each tribe member.

The peeps in VF are larger. They've also got less ground to cover, since they're only moving about the house and grounds. The peeps in VV have much shorter legs and have to cover the entire village and surrounding area! It's not surprising that the VF peeps seem to move faster.

i think im going to choose 1 adult male 18 - 25 2 adult females 18 - 25 (1 nursing) and 2 children aged 10 - 14

hmm... i would start with 2 children age: 6 opposite gender
2 adults age:18 opposite gender
and a nursing female

I would like 2 males one nursing and two children (childern are male a female oh and one of the two males will be a runner =P
