I had this experience with stainless steel 6.4 some time ago: During the first fifty or so turns I would recieve all those nifty updates about faction leaders dying and princesses looking for husbands, but as turns start to pile up, those messages no longer appear - particularly with princesses.
And I don't know if it has to do with in-game luck or something (in as much as my Roman Emperor only manages to make male offspring), but I don't think I've seen a princess of my own faction for about a hundred turns after I disgraced the first one at the beginning of the campaign. I know these are not game breakers, but it worries me about losing other kinds of content in the process. Any suggestions?
