Greetings. I realise this can be quite a sensitive subject, and so will try to get right to the point.
The ruler of Pergamon at the starting time of EB was as the EB team is no doubt aware Philetaerus (or Philétairos) and as the EB team is probably also aware, Philetaerus was according to all known sources a Eunuch.
The reason for this can perhaps be left untouched, but what I am wondering is this: How exactly will this be implemented in the game? I understand if some people (say Eumenes I) will be put as his sons because the engine won´t have it any other way, but will Philetaerus have a trait revealing his state?
Now that I think about it Philetaerus will probably be too old when the game starts (let´s see here... 61 years old?) to actually make kids, and he would probably be the only one with the trait, so maybe it´s not needed. A simple mention of it in his biography would probably do it. Yes, I guess that would be most convinient. Damn. :wall:
