This question may have been asked already, but here goes: when I leave the
'Delete Genotypes' set to anything other than Random, there's only one
genotype left when I wake up, with about 200 individuals. Is there a way
around this, because I'd like to weed out the 'bad' frams as much as
possible. Thanks!

The way is through selection, which uses best genotypes. You can control
its pressure with the scaling mechanism.
What you only risk when using random deletion is the occasional
removal of good (best) creatures, which is not so bad because
the population still contains its (good) ancestors.
MacKo
though
But whatever i set the deletion mode to, after many hours, there's
always only one or a few genotypes left, (a few is already great! I think
this can be considered as "ESS" ;D) with a huge number of individuals.
Though this may be actually natural enough.....
Is it?
ah! I'm sorry.
i've mistaken the original message.......:p
but i still have a question...
is "random" more natural (just like "random genetic drift"--oh, i hope i
have used the correct noun.)or the other two?
