Arthur, I LUV blonde haired men with ponytails LOL !!

Arthur's diary at http://www.gamezebo.com/2006/11/virtual_villagers_a_developers.html (mentioned in the "sneak peek" thread) mentions as one of the top five requests "Ancestry info (who begot who)".

He doesn't actually say he's including that enhancement, though.

No but...........
"We are also testing a new feature where the children will more correctly resemble their parents"

I'm hoping it works out. I want a tropical island filled with blonde haired men who all wear their hair in ponytails that I can sit and drool over LOL !!

Is that begat or begot? lol

Dunno, but shouldn't it be "who begot whom?"

Sorry if this is something that's already been mentioned, but this is my first post to the forum.

I would like it if you could track the family lineage of the villagers. As far as I could tell, in VV there's no way to know who is the father/mother of who, unless you keep track of it yourself. It might even be cool if you could click on a particular character and have a button for a graphic that showed the character's family tree.

Along these lines, I found it a little icky that it was possible for villagers to mate with their parents and children.

I think most of us have thought that and then we just got over it to increase the population, I guess we are all animals deep down or perhaps it is just the survival instinct.
You would have to keep track of the lineage yourself.

How about if your villagers is in danger of food shortage they will work harder than they nomally do until they have enough foods
