American History Challenge 3/19/19

Quick update:  Upon starting the new round with the Apache tribe, something unexpected occurred.  The matriarch of the family, after repeatedly passing out from heat stroke, died.  I considered pleading for her or exiting without saving, but decided to leave things as is.  The couple had one daughter and one son before she died, which gives the Apache tribe the ability to survive, though they won't be as prolific as the other tribes.  Since I hadn't been expecting a death so soon, I didn't have the ceremonial grounds built yet.  But, I've just finished building the one for the Apaches so Cocheta can be moved there next round.

American History Challenge 3/18/19

All of the second pregnancy babies have been born, and we had two sets of twins again!  There are now 4 families working on their fourth child already, while the others are all working on #3.  Next round all of the firstborn kids will be aging up to child and some of the secondborns will also be aging to toddler.  I still haven't started building the ceremonial lots yet, but I may start working on them in the next round when it won't be as chaotic as this one was.

American History Challenge 3/4/19

All the tribes are working on delivering their second babies (in some cases third) soon.  The ones who farm are also harvesting/replanting.  We are in the second season, which means the years 1405-1410.  I'm looking forward to the kids becoming children because they'll have the opportunity to meet other kids from the other tribes and begin forming connections which could ultimately lead to tribal marriages.  I'm looking forward to seeing which tribes end up merging so to speak.  I'm still working on exactly what the chief's responsibilities are.  So far I don't have much, just that he will own the ceremonial lot (which I haven't even started building yet) and that he will be able to declare war (which I also haven't figured out how to handle yet).  Something will come to me in time.  In the meantime it's just have as many babies as possible!
