Ability to have a child by right clicking on a suitable hearth-mate (perhaps whose hearthfire has been within the same claim for x number of ingame days?)
Child Ideas:
- Having a child would be expensive - req a lot of resources to simulate just how difficult raising a child is.
- The incubation period would be lengthy.
- There'd be a cap of 1 child per claim.
- The child would need to be fed / clothed / entertained.
- If the parent's hearthfires are moved outside the claim, the child dies maybe??
- If the childs parents don't see it in x number of days it dies?
- Perhaps the child can be assigned one job (e.g. farming??) with a cooldown if its switched to another task. i.e. not a bot, more an endgame aide.
- Perhaps after x days, it requires a random specific item like a toy or medicine which must come from the parents within x number of days or the child dies or gets sick or runs away (aka disappears)
- If the child is killed or dies prematurely, perhaps a debuff comes onto the parents
- Similar to a claim, LP may be required to encourage active parents rather than alts
