Little girls as new NPC type

[Sami]

So far the only children in the villages have been boys, and now the work has been started to feature little girls as a new NPC type.
For starters it's a bunch of in-game definitions to do, creature generation code to tweak, pixel art to draw and NPC portraits to come up with.
After that we'll give all the children NPCs physical and mental attribute checks to better differentiate their abilities from adult NPCs.
See, currently the combat skills and bravery of the children may occasionally reach the level of fearless grown warriors.
All in all the newly introduced children will be significantly weaker and more vulnerable to harm than previously.
A new post about all that attribute, morale and behaviour mess may follow later on after all the groundwork and pixels are first put in order.

Cool!

Can confirm; was once done in by a Njerpez child after killing the warriors of the village.

As mentioned this is nowhere nearly done yet, and the next news at least are likely related to children attribute adjustments.
