Hey its Grandparents day so I wondered if it would be possible to patch the game so it kept track of the daughters as well as the sons for at least one or two generations. I mean after they're married off they're just gone and I don't even know where to send my postcards! I end up sending an emissary to weird places like Novgorod or Constantinople to keep an eye on Daddy's little girls (sort of like Michael Corleone I am I guess).

also what happens if heir husbands die in battle?
in history they would become widows and return to their fathers court to remarry,
of course in this game at around 34 or 35 they become spinsters and go off to a nunnery,
then again i don't marry mine off until they are 30 something anyway,
if no prince wants them by that time i find a General i want to be a bit more loyal and force him to take her...

Women and priests should have a wider scope than is allowed them in the game.

Hehehe, the original Gilbert de Clare was an ancestor of mine. So when I went to Caerphilly Castle, I pounded my staff on the drawbridge and yelled "Open the gates, the rightful Lord has returned!" This got me in for free http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Anyway, it would really be nice to have a handy way of remembering who you're related to. Maybe you get inbred V&Vs if you marry into the same families several generations in a row http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Grand kids? Interesting... When your heirs are all dead and your king is at the point when he'll croak at any moment.. You'll have one of your grand kids to claim the throne. That would be an interesting add on to MTW. That would probably save me all the hassle of restarting and not risking my heirs all the time. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif
