[JOB] 275BC Family trees

[Zarax]

Since we're moving the starting year to 275BC we'll need to make sure we don't have any anachronistic characters in game.

I took care of Carthage (expect some surprises there) but we need some help with the rest.

What we basically need is to have at least a list of faction leaders and important generals alive in 275BC, possibly each with a short description so we can locate them.

Anybody wants to give us a hand?

and why are u moving starting year to 275BC
here is little help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/275_BC

That's because most of the map is set to that year and it allows us to have some more interesting scenarios.

Given a pointer towards somewhere I can find a list of all the generals in the game at the start, I can probably go through and list those who died and those who can stay in.

descr_strat would be the quickest way, starting the various campaigns and looking at the family trees the easiest.

Syracuse's family tree is fine. Although you might want to add a II to each respectivily.

[Publius Quirinus]

Seleucids:
FL: Antiochus Soter, wife Stratonike
Eldest son: Seleukos, marshal in the east till 267BC
Second son: Antiochus
Daughter: Apama
Daughter: Stratonike

Antigonids:
FL: Antigonos Gonatas (age 44), wife Phila
Son: Demetrius (age 0 - born in 275BC)
[The Antigonid family tree is not so straightforward as the Seleucids - the king after son Demetrius was Antigonos Doson, who was a grandson of Poliorcetes from another marrriage.]

Attalids:
FL: Philataerus (though he was an eunuch), [mother of Eumenes] Satyra
Nephew: Eumenes
[Attalus, the next Attalid king after Eumenes was born in 269BC, though he was a cousin of Eumenes]

Mithradatids:
FL: Mithradates the Founder
Son: Ariobarzanes

Ptolemaics:
FL: Ptolemy Philadelphus, wife Arsinoe
Son: Ptolemy
Son: Lysimachus
Daughter: Berenike
[though at 275BC all three were likely either children or not yet born.]
