Marriage question

[Andy06r]

A quick browsing of the stickies and first few pages didn't reveal this, so I have a question.

I'm playing as Poland and I'm 20 turns in and none of my male generals have married yet. This seems exceptionally long, and I'm starting to wonder if my campaign is bugged.

I'm currently running SS 6.1 with the add-ons that come with the 6.1 patch (I forget the name, but I'm using all of them).

Any help would be appreciated - if it is a fixable big, I'm nervous to continue playing until I get it fixed.

My dashing princes can't be that horrid!

Not even your faction heir is married? He should be able to marry a foreign princes for sure... just use your diplomat to talk to one and propose a marriage alliance.
Its possible that you adopted to many generals and your faction is now "fully staffed" for the size of your empire but thats the only thing I can think of atm.

[Andy06r]

I've had terrible luck for suitor's of my princess/adopted sons, I just have my heir, my 2nd son, and my princess - all unmarried (of course I could marry the diplo way but I haven't even had "we found a local girl, want to merry her?" messages).

It might just be an isolated fluke, but it struck me as odd and I figured I'd ask.

[bɑne]

how much have you expanded so far?

[Andy06r]

I took silesia and east/west pommerania so I have 6 provinces. I'm likely going to stop expanding as I'm getting spread thin and work on my econ a bit. Having 3 generals to govern 6 provinces and push the borders doesn't help much either.

I'm going to patch to 6.2 and start a new game and see if that does anything.

[bɑne]

Quick word of warning: 6.2 is harder then 6.1 ( 6.2 medium > 6.1 medium)
Other than that I use it as well and can recommand it

There is a fixed family member:regions ratio that if you are at or over, you will not get any marriage or adoption offers. Try conquering some provinces and you will start getting marriages and adoptions again.

[PerXX]

Try getting that princess married off.
It's my experience that as long as you have unmarried princesses, your male family members rarely gets offered any marriages.

IF I marry my princesses..(have 2 at the moment 0- one sent to France to find a husband and one sent to Aragorn for some suitable Man)....do I get anything good from it...never played M2TW much....have played TATW for some time but mostly ETW and Rome...so don't know much about the girls......

[bɑne]

you get marriage alliances or a new general... thats about it

[Templar Knight]

you should marry your princesses to the generals and family members then. i use incest in my campaign all the time no matter how disgusting and wrong it may be

Wait, you can actually marry brothers and sisters, etc? I never evern thought about that. I can treat my faction like Egytpian royalty keeping it all in the family.

If you do it too much though, dont you get bad incest related traits?

Looking at the triggers, the Inbred traits are completely random (which is one reason why I chop them out of my traits file). I don't think there's even a Condition that can be used to check for consanguinity in the parents' marriage. Not that I'm an expert, mind you, but right now I have Conditions leaking out through my ears as a consequence of GED/AL's Scripting 101 class.

Edit: Nope, nothing I can see in the docudemon under Events or Conditions that would seem to apply.

[bɑne]

Maybe its just me, but I'm pretty sure that I can marry cousins but not siblings.

yeah thats right

Yup, won't allow marriages within the same sub-branch of the family tree (shared parents). Hadn't noticed that before because I'd never tried it.

Looks like the game is smart enough to say "No, you may NOT marry your brother/sister.....pervert!".

[RazAlgul]

Well......I gave the 1st to the Aragorn Heir.....does it mean...that once he becomes the King of aragorn...I will either get a general or take over the Throne???

That'd be a negative. Once you marry a princess to another faction, that's it.
