    Default A downside to some Bastards

    This happened in my Visigoth campaign for the first time. If a bastard from your family tree is the child of a man who married into your family and not related to the family by blood they get removed when the father or wife dies or the wife gets divorced from the father. If they're an adult they go to the other nobles section. I tested divorcing a female family member that had her own children and her husband's bastards and the bastards were cut out but her own children were kept.

    So this is a good reason not to let the bastards of a man who married into your family have wives and children. Because the one bastard from my Visigoth campaign had a wife and a bunch of children of his own, 3 bastards and 4 regular, and they all were cut out from the family tree. And they were about half my family tree's child pool.

    Oh that's quite a big thing. How do you differentiate between the bastards and those of blue blood? Is it the case that Bastards have a red line from their parents to themselves?

    EDIT:
    Different colors. Do they mean anything?

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    I'm not sure if any bastards are connected to women. I think it's always through their father so if the father married into the family he has the undesirable bastards. If a male family member has bastards then they're blood related and okay.

    Interesting. Another downside is that they cannot have more than 100 influence. I have not tested it, but according to campaign_variables (db file) it is the case... Can anyone confirm this?
    However, you will be able to tweak this in the db file.

    Thanks.

    I can't believe I didn't saw that.
