Why always woman?

Hewlett · 2019-11-13 14:09:07

Hi

I felt that since the last update i born as a woman very commonly. In my last 8 lives i was man only once. In addition by checking my gene score i saw that among the last 20 family members that contributed to it, only 1 was a man, meaning that also my kids and grandkids were mostly woman.

I dont know if this is an effect of the update or it might be related with other factors like the gene score or the time of the day in which i connect. Does someone felt this also?

Dont misunderstood me, i enjoy playing as a woman, but playing as a man from time to time is a nice rest. You dont need to care for raising kids and allow you to focus on other projects that require your whole lifespam.

I think it's to improve gene score.
When you are a woman you can have children, if they live enough your gene score will grow.
Man can't have children, maybe we need a marriage system or anything like that where men and women can have children.

I made a suggestion in reddit for that system, but I removed it because I knew Jason wasn't going to read it.

It's due to if a family has <6 fertile females then all children are spawned as women. This is to allow more stability for families as men have zero chance what so ever to help continue a lineage and are always dead ends. Depending on when you play it's very possible player population is too low to have men even spawn.

I see! Im living in a time zone with gtm+9, so when i connect most of Europe and America are sleeping, so i guess that will be the explanation.

Thanks!

NiGB0 were you playing the game in the last 3 months? Nephews are a long-ago implemented mechanic.
Grandma, mother, littler sisters and nephews all count to your Gene score when you are Male.

The reason that males are not common anymore is that Jason has put a rule: as long as a family has lower than 6 members all kids will be born females. This is to make sure a family won't die out of Luck by infertile kids (males).

Also, Jason prefers feedback and problem analysis and if the problem is important enough for his priorities then he will listen to suggestions.

On the upside, there are a lot fewer people complaining about all the "useless" males running around. And being a dude feels very special when you haven't been one for many lives.

I prefer to play as a man, but it's something rare now. <6 woman thing is weird. Yeah, it solves the problem with dying families due to unluck, but still it's weird.

If (girls < 3) then girl.
Would be enough IMO.

yeah i suggested 3, cause its good to have 3 girls around, more than that is too much
was enough even against the griefers who tried to kill families
as long as the fertile one is alive the kids were coming

now is 6 which is a bit overkill, so you will get like 5 baby girls each time
since males either suicide early or live long, most times we born as girls

Used to be 3, but fams were still dying out.

That was in rift, where fams dying out brought arc to an end.

Now it's 6, just to be safe, but probably overkill. Will try 4 and see what happens.

jasonrohrer · 2019-11-13 19:05:35

The change is live. Now your fam is only forced to have girls if you have < 4 potentially fertile females left (females under 40).

families will still die out even if they're all female it seems. late at night everyone is female, but still families die off due to correction from peak hours making many families and spreading families too thin during quiet hours.
