Mass Celibacy

[Vonchenzo]

Hi All,

A huge Thank You to the good people of the EB team who have done so much work putting EB together. It’s amazing stuff!

I was just getting in touch because I’ve found, on the latest version of EB2, that no male family members seem to be marrying and having children in my games (the daughters are still finding husbands, no problem there). Does anyone know what might need tweaking?

Have you been rejecting suitors for a long time?

We suspect there's a hardcoded issue with the suitor mechanic, whereby the game fixates on a particular FM (male or female) and won't offer any more prospective sons/daughters in law until that person is either dead, married or retires from public life.

Thanks very much for your response. I don't think that that is the issue - I was actually thinking that perhaps I'd made the opposite mistake and accepted too many male suitors, overloading the family tree.

I actually played a few turns just after posting the first comment, and two brides were presented, so perhaps it was a temporary glitch. But in the past there have been whole royal families in which none of the men married!

Thanks again, V
