Keeping track of the population

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   How do I keep track of my scouts?  I have Steve and Simon and Sophie and Sharon and Sean and Stefan and Said and Siantelle and Shawn and Scotty, but when I send them on missions, how do I know who went, and perhaps more importantly, how do I know who didn't make it back?

Why is this important?  Well in Castle Hugie it is generally frowned upon to have relationships with people in the same profession.  So if Siantelle doesn't make it back from the deer stalker quest, then her partner Lawrence (a lumberjack) will be distraught and the bereavement and matchmaking office in the Consulate will need to find a new partner.  One could say that's part of the risk of being a scout.  But what about Stefan's partner Lorraine (who works in the Library)? She could never love again so I would have second thoughts about risking Stefan's life.
Besides, if I don't know whether the lost scouts are male or female, heterosexual or homosexual, how can I be sure that there are appropriate partners for them amongst the population that stays behind?  It is going to get even more complicated when my population reaches over 1000 and I have an army, with greater risks of death, so I thought I'd better ask now.
