Adoption not completed?

[Denizou]

Hi,

What causes this? The last 5 times I tried to adopt it says "adoption not completed, the guy you wanted to adopt has been pwn3d the moment you tried to take him in your family"

[francis86]

lol,never happened to me but kind of funny

he got powned lol

[Tomxx]

Same problem, but if I kill one general, the next adoption work, perhaps we could have a limited number of generals?

[lolIsuck]

I think it's random but 5 times in a row is really bad luck

[Hermes Trismegistos]

I happens occasionaly, bu I remember once I had it disturbingly often, too. Maybe the probability increases with the number of generals you have?

[Dwarven Berserker]

Um, when you fight a battle with a captain and you win, there is a small chance you can adopt this general into your family via man of the hour, as you know.
But if the captain died in that battle, the game can still offer him for adoption, but if you accept in that case, the adoption will be not completed

I suppose this is what you meant?

This has nothing to do with the man of the hour, I'm talking about random adoption proposals, well I think it was bad luck then, because the very next turn after I posted this thread I succeeded in an adoption.

And it also have nothing to do with the generals number because I only had 3 family members (and 2 generals) for 8 regions

[lolIsuck]

No, it happens sometimes when he survived the battle too

[Dwarven Berserker]

Oh, never had that before

Then again, I rarely accept adoptions

[lolIsuck]

I accept almost everything they throw at me

[Hermes Trismegistos]

I usually don't adopt if it's not totally necessary, but with the orc factions you don't have much choice...

[Darth Lord Revan]

It has happenned to me only very randomly when directly hitting the accept button. On the other hand, if you ingnore the messege that pops up offering you a general to adopt (as in selecting any other message and or opening the economys window) in order to decide later, when you finally come back to that window it has happenned to me, quite oftenly, that even if I accepted, a message came saying that the adoption was not completed. It might be that he got ofended (?) because you make them wait, or something like that, but I saw it plenty of times.
I hope it helps!

[TheDarkKnight]

That's...odd...

I have seen this too in some testing. Not Man of the Hour stuff. I assumed that the submod I was testing had some missing units or something.

There was a similar problem in MOS some time back where OotMM generals were killed as soon as they were offered. The message was different (just a "general killed" not an "adoption failed") but perhaps that's due to the fact that that faction doesn't adopt generals as such, having no family tree.

The problem was, if I remember rightly, that no OotMM unit had the general_unit attribute so no default bodyguard could be assigned. No bodyguard = instant death.

The fact that it doesn't happen all of the time suggests that this is not the problem here. Somehow related perhaps.

Or maybe this is intentional. There might be something in the script.

[Elensul]

Same problem (HE). Tryed many tricks to avoid general's sudden death... None worked.

[Withwnar]

There's nothing in the script that is killing them. I wonder if it's a family tree problem.

[Santana86]

Yesterday I started up a new game with Eriador and I think I got a bug with the family tree.

Several times there are notifications in the "faction announcement" pop-up that new family members have been born. However when I check the family tree, there are no new additions to it. I thought that was wierd, so I decided to restart the game again since I was only 12-15 turns into the game. But the same thing happened again, I get the message about a new family member, but nobody appears on the family tree.

I have played Silvan Elves and Dale earlier without this problem, so it seems to be only Eriador for me.

Has anyone else experienced this?

[Pinkie Pie]

This is because the Eriador family tree is split into two. One contains Aragorn and his direct heirs while another contains the rest.
Well it is along those lines anyway

Hmm, I've never heard of it before or even considered the possibility.

Okay, I'm gonna test this by starting up a new game and chop off the funbags of everyone, except Aragorn and his sons. (Using console to give all others the Infertile and WifeIsBarren traits)

[Withwnar]

I'm pretty sure that I was playing Eriador when I got my "adoption failed" messages. But Elensul also got it with the High Elves.
