Family tree mess: character giving birth to himself?

**Zhayedan** · March 22, 2015, 03:23 PM

Can someone please explain what is going on in this family here?

Some more information would be nice. Did you see the new Kossrau as child or did he just pop-up out of nowhere?

**Zhayedan** · March 22, 2015, 03:33 PM

not sure since when it appeared there, just noticed the mess, can't quite tell for sure since when it appeared.
seems like he's his own bastard child

originally he was bahram's son. so the second line is correct, but the one couple of clones that have appeared next to the deceased bahram are ghosts and shouldn't be there.

I've had some issues with the family tree in one campaign. I've had two iterations of the same branch appear twice. By killing one, the other would die too, but it was annoying as hell since there is no feature to zoom out (which should be fixed after the patch).

Attila's birth is buggy, as I've seen some weird things when playing as the Huns, but I think it's only because his birth is scripted.

But as for a character giving birth to a character with an identical name? That's just a silly oversight from CA: I'm sure there's a list of randomly assigned names for births, and they just either didn't make that list very long, or they neglected to have a check to make sure that no name is used within X number of turns as the last time it was used. I know this is an issue because I had two Bleda's as the Huns with one being the parent of the other, with different ages and everything proving they were different characters with only the same name.

On the other hand, while I haven't personally seen it, it wouldn't surprise me to have some type of glitch where a character really is listed as his/her own parent (in which case they would have identical age, etc., between the two iterations).

i assasinated my general and his wife next turn they had a baby. so i would not count on the family tree system.

maybe she was pregnant before he died?

Not giving birth to itself. He is just flagged as a bastard AND a legitimate son, both having their own place on the tree, only one giving babies.

i think i might have mislead some of you guys...
what actually has happened here is that the same character and his wife have appeared next to the name of his father. the tree would be all correct if the one couple at the top were removed.

It doesn't seem starnge if the son have the same name as the father but it's best if the game add number epitepth for example the first will be Khiosrau I and his son will be Khosrau II and so on.

maybe a son with the same name?

Have you somehow modded the family names? I'm asking this, because two of your family members are named Yadidatum and Ahati-waqrat, who are both "characters" of the Defender of Texel, according to the game's wiki.

Of course it's modded, there is a third instance of the character on the right side. + That is the Sassanid family tree. Such characters do not not exist in the Sassanid tree. If they were adopted (triplets? lol) They would be one tier lower on the tree than being Bahram's siblings.

Some messed up incest in your family, making a man count as his own father.
