Today I made a small change to the game that allows multiple births per pregnancy. The reason for this is that grendels have the unfortunate gene that causes females to grow old and die after their first pregnancy. I’m often lucky if this baby grendel is a female but most times, I have to introduce a new female to make it to later generations, which is unfortunate. To alleviate this, I decided to make litters possible, much in the same way that Jessica did in her C3/DS Social Experiment world.
Anyway, the Grendels were all settled and were all Youths and Adolescents now so I started to flip through the norn breeds in Muco to decide what I wanted.
I ended up picking a huge variety of breeds instead of just two males and two females from two different breeds. Now, I have 3 males and 3 females, all from different backgrounds.
Meet Five Cheese, or just Cheese for short. She’s a Bondi norn and the first female norn in the world. It took me a minute to realize that she wouldn’t be able to learn a full vocabulary in the Norn Terrarium, so I added a Portal Intelligence Core to the Norn Terrarium, near the Incubation area. I was alerted to Bomb contracting a bacteria, which I intercepted with the hover dock, and Cheese here feeling pain from eating chilis but I was soon ready for my next egg.
Loving Wren, this handsome Male Chichi Norn was born just as Obese Bomb got pregnant and laid two eggs. I had to neglect poor Wren for a moment to scoop up her eggs for later. Since both Mac and Giants were nearby and kiss-popping her, I can’t know for sure who the father could be. I think I have an idea who the culprit is, but I can’t know for sure just yet.
Mom looks pretty pleased with herself.
Hopefully, these two hatch and grow up without any problems!
The new eggs got me thinking, though. How would you all feel about an egg-counter? Not one in game, but one in the blog? I might also keep a family tree, though things may just get out of hand. I’ve installed a population control agent so that creatures become infertile after fathering or mothering 4 eggs. I had originally wanted to limit this number to 2 but with so many different breeds roaming around, the chance for still borns and sliders gets pretty high, and I don’t want to limit myself.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think!

I thought CFEm Grendels had the pregnancy problem fixed. Are the Boney Grendels also CFEm?
No, they aren’t. D: They’re the ones I’m most worried about.
