@Ashleigh825 -I've thought some about points. 10 pts for each child 1st gen, 9 pts 2nd, 8 pts 3rd down to 0pts 10th, then start losing points, -1 for 11th gen and so on. Points for each child/teen that gets A, each child that finishes aspiration, each skill that matriarch masters, each aspiration that she completes. Perhaps 5 pts for As and skills and 10 for aspirations.
I'm still on my first matriarch and she is still 6 days from elder and has had 16 kids, mostly boys. Why does the heir have to be the youngest? I am not really fond of the youngest daughter. Would much prefer the next older who has a lot more personality. I'm hoping that the next pregnancy produces a girl but have had a ratio of 2 boys to each girl.
I have noticed that my matriarch does not seem to age while she is pregnant. It is very noticeable when she gets pregnant on the same day her latest baby was born. She may go a week aging only a day. Her oldest daughter (who has moved out) is already an adult as are several of the boys. She may become an elder before her mother does. Interesting commentary on the benefits of motherhood versus singlehood.
