I'm only getting females joining me.

[Wrig]

Is this normal? I was hoping to get some males at some point to get some reproduction going to boost my groups numbers.

Reproduction is in the game?

Same thing happening here. The surrounding towns might start thinking we're running a witches' coven.

Did you make a custom game? If so, I think any specifics you choose for your starting settlers will be applied to all subsequent ones as well.

Otherwise, it's just random luck.

(And no, there is no reproduction for people. Wild animals do reproduce, sorta.)

No custom game for me, just normal settings. My eighth settler was finally a male. Go figure.

It's probability. 50/50 chance. You could flip a coin 8 times and get 7 heads and 1 tail.

Twelve women and one man in my settlement, and no deaths to date. The RNG might be a touch skewed...

Up to 14F 1M. Poor guy...

Reproduction shouold be in the game. Most medieval people only lived to 30. The fact that your settlers are nearly 50 almost immediately is shocking.

You're confusing the average life expectancy with the average *adult* life expectancy. The total population average was low because of very high infant and childhood mortality, but if you made it to age 20 you had a reasonably good chance of making it to 60 (especially if you were male - women had a high rate of death in childbirth).

What's surprising is that there are no children and babies around - one effect of that high childhood mortality was that you needed to have lots of kids to maintain the population. About 30% of the population should be under 15, depending on era and region.
