Guys .. I know its been entioned way back but has the family tree bug been fixed ? Its always been really useful to see what yur horrible family menbers are like and being able to select a new leader or heir but right now thats still not the case. Will this be fixed in time for the release ?

Cheers

There is nothing to 'fix'. It is what it is. Players will just have to be aware (keenly) of who is made Heir when a family member dies, and make an effort to keep the rule in the family they wish. Otherwise, the game will make those choices for you.

Maybe this is something to add to the installation information, if it isn't there already? (i don't remember seeing it there)

I'm not even sure what the issue is if you just let the game decide for you. Does it crash or something?

No, it's just that if the game chooses a character outside the family tree you were using, you'll go in and see that there isn't much of a family. The reason is that the game has chosen another family line, which would eventually build itself thru marriage and adoption, birth, etc.....but for a while you have few options to do much.

DVK.. thats pretty much it but my concern was that you can;t view the entire family tree, and that it does that from the start of the campaign. You only seen a very small number of family members and thats it. Now for Macdeon that was never a problem as most family members there have very good traits and military/management ratings but a faction like the Selecuids its another story. My first Selecuids campaign most of the immediate family apart from Antiochus were just seriously bad including the next in line but I did one family member in Seleucia who was brilliant - excellent traits and skills, inclduing military but there was just no way to select him as the heir and that was a real waste. The latest Sel campaign its not been too much of a biggie as I started off with a different strategy, so I know how to play around it and most of the family memebers this time have been rather very good (as good as Macedons) alhough I still have some that are seriously corrupt but most have been excellent.
