Russian Deaths...

[Radioman]

I've been experiencing issues with my Russian faction, every time I go to adopt or a child comes of age they die. The cause is a noble death in battles that never took place. It happens as soon as I accept them as family members???

This happens in vanilla for me as well. Does anyone know what the problem is? My family tree looks like a mausoleum wall...

I've never experienced such a thing, has to be a bug

Keep in mind this is also happening in vanilla as well...

Wow, apparently your faction's adults have "killer genes"

I checked for assassins. In vanilla this happens after the first two turns...I thought I heard of this
before but I couldn't find anything in the forums. As it stands I can only rule the russian empire
with the three family members...That's gonna be real nice when the mongols come to visit.

That wasn't "A noble death in a battle that never took place"
Those messages I get often, they are regular, but not of course in such quantities.

Unless you get some fresh blood into your family tree, your game will end when your last king dies.

A thought i came up was that maybe you have too less regions to support the family (since the game tends to balance regions-FM), but then i looked at your screenies again

Can't be anything else than a bug, total reinstallment probably awaits you

Hey everyone thanks for helping me brain storm on this one. I've been sitting on it for quite some time, I'm glad I finally closed this one out.

Anyways, it turned out I never tested in vanilla cause the Russians are not selectable in a fresh game...
On top of that my mod had never been equipted with a faction general for the Russian faction

I solved the problem with a reduced tsars guard unit.

I also saw that the Turks still are set to use the vanilla eastern bodyguard unit, I started changing that but I still need to pull out GOM's converter for the new model I made in milkshape.

This is all part of my Mod that I thought was done and now I'm 26 turns into a Hotseat campaign thats been going on for 3 months now....I guess it's part of the job since I've been saving the games, test 5, test 8, test 10, etc.

I feel like I've been testing mods since '06. I'm so close to the perfect game experience, but that's for another post.
Thanks again everyone

Firstly not the right place to discuss your mod. I thought you were playing a normal game or a released mod.
Anyways you are right if a faction don't have the ownership for bodyguards units they will die during adoption since they got no unit assigned.

Next time give a brief detail on your platform and post mod related problems in mod workshop.
