No children???

[goro]

This has happened before to me.I get no births at all.is the lack of expansion a reason for this?

[irishron]

Yes it is. The birthrate algorithm depends on the amoint of regions conquered and controlled.

[Ishan]

Yes it is. The birthrate algorithm depends on the amoint of regions conquered and controlled.

I concur with Sir Ron, You need to expand.

[IvanIV]

Yes it is. The birthrate algorithm depends on the amoint of regions conquered and controlled.

is there a way we could mod this algorithm? like increasing the birthrate to at least 10%.

Sorry, not possible. apart from a few age entries there isn't much that can be changed. It's all in the descr_campaign_db file:

   <family_tree>
      <max_age uint="90"/>
      <max_age_for_marriage_for_male uint="75"/>
      <max_age_for_marriage_for_female uint="40"/>
      <max_age_before_death uint="105"/>
      <max_age_of_child uint="10"/>
      <old_age uint="60"/>
      <age_of_manhood uint="16"/>
      <daughters_age_of_consent uint="16"/>
      <daughters_retirement_age uint="40"/>
      <age_difference_min int="-10"/>
      <age_difference_max int="30"/>
      <parent_to_child_min_age_diff uint="12"/>
      <min_adoption_age uint="20"/>
      <max_adoption_age uint="30"/>
      <max_age_for_conception uint="50"/>
      <age_of_manhood_close uint="14"/>
      <max_number_of_children uint="4"/>
   </family_tree>

And the max number of children is 4 - hard coded (thought you might ask)

If you asked me I would have just siad the games just very Random.

[Ishan]

If you asked me I would have just siad the games just very Random.

But the thing is players don't buy it thats why we have to go into technicality.

Getting out and conquering regions is good for the libido!

[eXistenZ]

Fighting pillaging and looting makes you looking badass, and girls love that

[shikaka]

Also, don't accept adoptions. If you refuse them continously, you will get kids.

In magyar mod, Hungary starts with 1 character, the king. And he also has 2 underage nephews. With refusing adoptions, the guy had like 3 or 4 kids after he passed 50...

[goro]

yeah well i play vh/vh grand campaign and im at war with all factions.so expansion is something difficult at the moment

[King Patrick]

I suggest to see a doctor

[Scelesticfish]

Weird I like to as england take the isles and just sit there for the longest time. Never affects the birthrate.

[Canuck]

Yeah,I'm pretty new to M2TW(played a lot of MTW back in the day) & as Scotland one time,even after conquering the 'Isles', I only had one child between Malcolm & his two sons,who were both married.

Interesting. When I played as Scotland, even early on, my generals were having so many children that I had trouble deciding what to do with them all

[Double A]

Maybe if you uninstalled any Elder Scrolls games on your computer you would get children.



If all else fails...

add_trait "Bigus Dickus" Fertile 3

[eXistenZ]

I guess since its hardcoded the best you can do is give all your FM some traits through the console (like wife is fertile)

A bit strange that the max number is 4, since the average number of kids probably lay much higher

But they die. Estimated death rate for kids is 30%.

Yeah true. to make it completly realistic, they should have allowed more kids, and kill some off before they become 16. but that would be an annoying feature
