Actually, just whether or not Mom has a home marker might be a nice first criterion for a rise in fertility.  You're not really very ready for kids until you've found a place to settle, at the very least.

I will say that, while I understand Jason's reasoning and can sort of see the appeal for some subset of long-term, super-competent players who might be bored and enjoy starting over, or enjoy the challenge of ending it all, this is kind of discouraging for new players.  I've been here less than a week.  I never reached the end of the tech tree -- I've only just gotten to the point where I'm starting to feel remotely competent at basics like farming, pie making, and sewing -- and it looks like I'm unlikely to have the opportunity to get that far.  And before, even if the best my newbie self could manage was a little carrot farm in the middle of nowhere, or to help keep the food supply of a big civilization going, I could at least take some pride in the thought that those who came after might survive a little better because of me, or play towards the goal of helping my descendants survive for at least a few generations.

Now, it seems kind of pointless.  Which maybe is the point -- it's a game that does invite a certain amount of existential reflection.  But I'd think a society ought to at least advance to the point of nuclear weapons or bio warfare before it has to confront that particular existential crisis.

To the StLaunrents, named and adopted, if any of you are reading this: this is old woman Jackie.  I tried to lead the bear away from the village.  I was old and frail enough that I didn't quite get as far as I would have liked before starving.  I only hope it was good enough.  Wish I'd had time to leave you my clothes first, though.  Love you all.  I hope you thrive.

I'm having the read-only problem in Windows 10, too, including when I try extracting it to downloads and to the desktop.  They all have read-only checked, and any time I uncheck it, it just rechecks itself again after I try running the game.  Nothing I've tried, including the suggestions provided by other users above, or fiddling with user permissions for the folder seems to work.  I'll try checking back here in the future to see if there's a fix for this, but for the moment, it looks like I'm out twenty bucks and the opportunity to play what looks like a very cool game.

In the meantime, this problem seems to be common enough that maybe you might want to provide a warning to people before they buy that it doesn't necessarily work on Windows 10?
