I might be sick with the flu and my Creatures Exodus experience might be on hold until I get some technical difficulties worked out, but as they say in showbiz, the show must go on!

Since it had been so long, I decided to start the world anew. Why not, right? I picked a purple spotted egg and then this little girl popped out. I’ve named her Lydia.

bandicam 2014-11-20 13-48-30-464 copyI have to admit, I find Ron norns very… ugly. But this is what the random number god picked out for me, so I’ll stick to it. She’s a very obedient girl so far and, even though I glimpsed a few sad faces, they were quickly sorted when I encouraged her to push food. She learned a lot of the words she needed to start life and that made early communication very easy. So far, she seems to want to stay in the garden, so while she relaxes, let’s take a peek at her genetics.

Rather than go into full detail (cold medicine is getting the better of me), I’ll some up the most interesting changes for you.

Compared with her father genome (dad4 from my updated C1 genetics.) she starts with two more Antibody 1, which means she should be slightly better prepared for an attack from Antigen 1.

When she is patted by another creature, instead of Crowdedness increasing, SexDrive increases. This could make her a very active mother.

Finally, instead of “I am approaching” causing Loneliness to decrease and crowdedness to increase, “I am retreating” causes those changes.

There is another stimuli that I haven’t yet addressed because I’m not sure what to make of it. In the meantime, here’s the list of differences from dad4.

It took her a long time to finally do it the first time, but I eventually got her to sleep by telling her to look at herself and saying “sleep”. It’s something I hadn’t tried before but once she finally had fallen asleep, I was able to pat her. Poor thing was so tired, she was frowning. In fact, she frowned a lot. Her life force was at a comforting 76% and she was nearly 20 minutes old so I decided it was time to introduce a male. We’ll get to meet him next time.
