I was thinking of the ability for adult nichelings in the tribe being able to pick up babies and carry them, similar to how a lioness or she-wolf would carry its offspring. It's hard to keep your tribe moving when you have a mother sitting by a nest all day in fear of a hawk or waiting for her baby to be old enough to move efficiently. So here's how it would work:
- Picking up a baby or child nicheling would take one action point. However, you can continue to hold the baby for several days if you need to keep carrying it, as long as it won't grow into a teenager yet.
- Perhaps the nicheling would have reduced speed carrying the baby; for instance, a mother with a speed of 3 carrying a baby would now only be able to move 2 tiles at a time.
- Nichelings cannot use their mouth while holding a baby- so a nicheling would not be able to lick another nicheling clean or call for wild nichelings, for instance.
- babies would be protected from being picked up by a predator when being carried. Injury to the adult, however, could cause it to drop the baby nicheling, making them vulnerable again.
- You can only pick up babies in your tribe/babies you've befriended.
- Putting down a held offspring back on the ground would take one action point.
