i found some uses for the chief...

i immediately hated the chief, having just finished VV1 with the evil golden child. he stands there breathing down everyone's neck & nobody can get any work done. i swear peeps train better when he's not around.

however he's an excellent research guinea pig. i got the lab up, & started feeding him sickness potions so my doc can easily gain healing ability. don't have the hospital up yet & actually healing seems to raise the bar better than studying medicine. he gets sick therefore "for the good of the tribe." i also give him everything else, since my scientists have other things to do than run around burping green.

i have a female chief in my other game. stupidly i let her go to age 31 before realizing she can become pregnant. this is actually useful! it frees up my other females so they can get some real work done.

i swear, why LDW decided nursing mothers are fairy princesses who do no useful work for 2 years is beyond me. they can't even drag wood to the fire. all they had to do was to stick the baby on the mother's back. primitive cultures always used a cradleboard or baby backpack & got something useful done. what a waste... unless it's a chief

any other good uses for a chief? the chief has what, exactly 2 events where the chief is absolutely needed? at least kid chiefs still gather collectibles...

the chief can gather herbs and also make potions and give leactures to the tribe gather fire wood also
