Princesses

[Javolenus]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to SS so please forgive what might be a silly question.

At the start of my (England) campaign I had several princesses on the campaign map. I used them to bag faction heirs and good generals. But now I am about 80 turns into the campaign and princesses no longer show up on the map, so I can't use them as strat pieces. Is there an explanation for this or have I missed something obvious?

When I check my faction family tree I see that I have unmarried adult princesses but I cannot find them on the map. And yet suitors keep appearing for me to accept or reject.

Also, as a related question, what happens when a princess marries a general and that general dies? Does the princess become available to marry again or not?

Again, apologies if this question is dumb but just thought I'd ask.

Finally a big thank-you for SS - a very great and noble mod.

Most likely they are inside settlements. Right click on Agents tab, you'll get summary of all agents you have, including princesses.

I think he means daughters that do not appear as princesess at all. It happens, only some of them turn out as a piece you can move and marry to foreigners. How this is determined and if it happen more in SS as vanilla i have no idea. But only some daughters are available for marrying abroad, rest get suitors from your own realm.


Edit: and no, no second changes in marriages.

It depends wheter they are real royal pricesses or just the daughters of a sideline of your family tree.

Then it would be another point against adopting in the family. Pretty stupid of me not to notice only mainline daughters get to run around Europe.

Hi Guys,

Many thanks for these replies. OK, now I get it, only royal daughters can be used as strat pieces - I guess that's fair enough and something worth bearing in mind when adopting etc. Thanks again.
