Help: Proposing to a Foreign Princess

**tsidneku** · April 30, 2008, 01:01 AM

Hi there. I'm relatively new to MTW. Stainless Steel has been a wonderful experience for me so far.

Great work to King Kong and the team!

I can't get any foreign princess (wandering princesses on the global map) to marry my faction heir. Faction heir is age 18, single.

When I enter negotiations with the princesses using my diplomats, there is never an option "Marry princess to faction heir." etc.

I do recall that I was able to get such a pop up (for my princess to marry a foreign heir) when I had my princess wandering around on her diplomatic duties.

Any advice or help? Could it be that the diplomat lacks the skill/talent pts?

if you heir isnt married it should show up providin you enter diplomacy with the princess directlly

Not sure how it could be accomplished, but a feature that allowed you to locate princesses of other factions would be truly useful. Hunting all over the map for princesses of a certain faction can be quite tedious.

That's what I do, while it is cheating, it is a bit silly that you have to hunt down princesses with your diplomats instead of sending them a nice letter or something.

Of course, good idea, thanks.

In real life such pacts wouldn't have been negotiated directly with the princesses anyway but through regular diplomatic channels, so yeah, it is a "bit" silly.

In real life a Spanish princess probably wouldn't travel all the way over to the Steppes

Well you have to be able to ally to the faction the princess is from (or be allied already), so this means you can't marry a princess from a faction that is allied to an enemy of you.

thanks for the replies.

I feel silly. =_=;; Reading up a bit more, found out that Templar Knights can't marry foreign princesses by default.

Just another quick question though? -- I'm now playing England, is there any way to marry my faction heir's brothers (I guess they are technically princes but they don't have the title ingame) to foreign princesses? Or are they forced to take the automated pop-ups from your own nobility?

Sadly you can only marry off your faction heir to foriegn princesses.

It seems ladies back then had no interest in dull 3rd in line to be king type guys.
