No children, no marriages

[Gromovnik]

Hi, I think I have a problem with the game or something, since it happens in both campaigns I'm playing at the same time (late Roman and renaissance Novgorod).
My FM don't marry at all, and those married don't have children! I checked, they don't have gay traits (uninhibited etc.) and ar normaly fertile, but I have quite enough FM's at the moment, approximately as many as settlements. But I don't think that should be a reason not to have a marriage or a child for at least 30-40 turns now... so did anyone had a similar situation and what could be done? or is it simply a really big coincidence?

there is a limit of how many characters the familly tree can have, that could be the issue...

it may be... do you know what's the limit? I think I have around 30-35 in my Roman campaign.

Basicly... once you kill off some unlucky FM's, you should be having children.

I thought about that, but exactly 0 marriages or children in 40 turns?

Did you have men of the hour events in those 40 turns?

Its all proportionate to you amount of family members.
More settlements + less family members = children.
More Family members + less settlements = no children.
If you have close to the same amount of family as settlements, you likely wont have many children.

Basicly if you take great stock in the bloodline kill all members that were added by men of the hour (or just lack the bloodline trait) and wait for the toddlers to pick up the sword.
