It’s unrealistic that a mid-age man/woman joins you and has nothing learned yet in his/her whole live.
[/quote]I guess that might be why I always pictured Hearthlings as a bunch of lost college-age students for some reason.
Adding to the topic at hand, I’d also like to mention my earlier suggestion to Make Travelers More Interesting. I came up with some quests travelers could bring, including the whole defending thing, but I didn’t think of Hearthlings staying and joining your town as a reward. I could definitely see this working with some of my suggestions there.
