    Default Mod that changes family tree etc.

    Hello everyone!

    I am currently looking for a mod that focuses on changing the family tree, the functions of family members and overall family gameplay.

    I do not know whether such mod already exsists or if it is even possible.

    There are a few things that really bother me about the family gameplay.

    - Number of children. I really loathe the fact that they can only have about 4 children. I think this number should increased to at least 8. With that, I can understand that it may be an overload to the game, so children should be able of dying during the game. Stillbirth, miscarrying, illness etc. Now when a adult child dies and the mother is still able of having children, I think another one should follow. Now when an adult dies, while the mother is still fertile and they already had four children, they will not have another child. And of course pregnancy difficulties should be added so the game isn't overflowing with children.

    - Lineage. It terribly annoys me that random characters can become heir or king. The heir to the throne should always be the son of the King. If he does not have sons, then his brother etc. But now random cousins can become heirs and such. It irks me.

    - Princesses. Another big annoyance. I like how you can marry them to your own generals and heirs/kings of other factions, but I think a great addition would be if you could marry your own royals to princesses of other factions as well. Say if your King has two sons, why can only the heir marry a princes and not his brother? His brother is also of royal blood and second in line to inherit the throne. He should be able of marrying a princess as well. And what about generals that have wealth and power? Why can they not marry princesses?

    To continue on that, I find it incredibly stupid that when a faction is destroyed, the Princess from that faction to which your King or Heir is married dies. That just makes no sense. Same goes for the fact that when either spouse dies in a marriage, the other one cannot remarry. What if you just married your Heir to a Princess of another faction, and then he bloody dies of the plague, and you have a useless princess in your court. They should be able to remarry.

    - Assassination. I wish there was a possibilty to assassinate your own Kings, Heirs or Generals. Sometimes your children grow up to be senseless morons and you are stuck with them unless you manage to kill them in battle. It would be easier if you could have your assassin kill them, of course, it could have consequences for your faction.

    There are surely more things on this topic that bother me.

    Thanks for listening to my nagging!

    Ducky.

    All of these things are hard-coded limitations. They cannot be changed.

    - You can ONLY ever have a max of four children, alive or dead.
    - Heir is set by authority, create an ancillary which gives +10 authority and give it to whoever you want as heir. Note: only works if king dies before heir
    - Princesses can marry your generals, or your family members if they are distant enough for it not to be incest
    - Remarrying cannot be set
    - Cannot assassinate your own faction. Period. Stick them on a ship or charge them at an enemy.

    Thank you for the info. I worried that would be the case.

    About the Princesses and the generals, I meant that I would like it if Princesses from another faction could marry your generals and not just your King/Heir.

    Yeah, no, that is again, hard coded diplomatic actions.

    So that could all only be changed in a completely new game?

    I think Bellum Crucis 7 has found a way to let you assassinate your own characters. I think I remember reading that in the release thread.
