Families

Families/Groups

Spawn as a 4 person collection, accomodating the sensibilities of Straight/Lesbian/Gay/Transgender entities (Man, Woman, Child, child/Woman Woman child child etc). The family would be controlled like a fireteam in Arma 2. Perhaps the addition of a default/mandatory "gaggle fuck" formation would be appropriate.

You can switch between the 4 members as long as you are within a certain radius. So, if dad goes off to search for food, he can't switch back to his family unit.

Children, of course, must be fed. Loss of a child would be devastating. Infection of a family member would also be detrimental.

Et Cetera.

Sheesh, that thread is cumbersome and boring, having a hard time wading through.

I didn't encounter another instance of an exchange exploring spawning as and controlling a group. You start with four, and keep each of them alive as long as possible.

Lots of that seemed to be about knocking an AI character up, which I'm down for, as long as it takes 9 real months. That would be a hell of an accomplishment, but I'm not sure that reproduction would be a priority in the situation we are finding ourselves.
