No family members + bug?

[meerkatology]

im imperium 5 and i literally have 1 family member, the ruler. and like 15 other ppl all from other parties.
with incoming civil war and empire transition, is there any way to get other family members?

lol...

also, i've had a civil war where plebians revolted , i beat them. but i still have a plebian general available to recruit. this seems to only happen with patch 19. must be bug on CA side?

Happening to me too. Been working around it by adopting but definitely a nuisance.

You may simply hire new politicians from the ruling party. You normally have three options there to choose from, and given that the ruling party is vastly outnumbered by the other parties one or two of those potential candidates should be the members of your house.

I've recruited this way the new members to my ruling family while playing with the Ptolemies so I belive that's how it works for every faction.

Same thing happens to me as Massalia. No statesmen from the ruling party are able to be recruited. Only by adopting I can get more people in my party.

Haven't checked it yet, sο Ι'm not sure. But if it's not working as intended, then that's another thing Patch 19 messed up.

Its the same its always been, its random. So, what characters are available from whichever party when you go to recruit will be picked from one of the parties. Sometimes you don't get ones from yours. Its one of the reasons I added the historical family system, you should be getting those guys spawning every so often into your ruling party. If you aren't, then maybe there is a bug of some type.

There is also a bug in patch 19 apparently in vanilla where you don't get new generals at all available, so thats fun.
