Are you guys be inclined to use princesses for the Diadochi since there were a string of political marriages during the their existance?

This issue is under discussion, but there are good opertunities for some factions to use this. However, the feature where princesses will steal a general from another faction isn't really historical.

Antony and Cleopatra, maybe?

Just eliminate the stealing thing! That's probably the best way...It doesn't seem to be historically accurate...

Exactly...

Cleo didn't exactly steal Antony from the Republic. He was a power-hungry sociopath with meglomaniac tendencies who tried to carve out a little empire for himself in the east. Cleo hardly stole him for another faction.

Possibly true about Antonius' character but Cleopatra certainly facilitated his drift away from Rome. My concern about the princesses is that not every faction conforms to the 'family dynasty' model- so I would prefer if they were called something else. "Influential Women"? "WAGs"?
Well we can call them different things for different factions.

I'll call them "Jail Bait" all the same.
The Diadochoi used marriages for alliance all the time

and not just them. it didnt mean nicking a general/king like in MTWII though:laugh4:
I can't remeber how many times I randomly married princesses to generals just to avoid them staying virgin for all their lifes, I never really used priests, spies and princesses. Assasins did all the job in MTW

You know what guys! I´d rather see a "prospector" instead. Send one out and find hidden mineral veins and trade resources. Could this be possible?
