Sterile king?

[Dorkus]

Ok, in my current Egyptian game my king has been on the throne for 20 years... and he's had ZERO children!

Luckily he's got some younger brothers who can step in if he croaks.

But this got me thinking -- what affects the odds of giving birth? In most of my games, my king has a child every few years. I dunno what the deal is with this guy. He's 50 or so now, and I'm still stuck at 3 heirs....

Is he one of those royals who prefers the company of young men?.. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

You can propose marriage to a princess by dropping an emissary on her!! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

I think your king could use a viagra and Britney Spears... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif or perhaps... Jennifer Love Hewitt?

Do the Muslim factions (he's playing Egyptian) get to do that? I know that I can't toss a Byz princess on the Turks to get an alliance.

Nope - they've got harems - they don't need no stinking inbred spoiled western princess...

Shokaky, man, you got a serious problem there. Why not try Salma Hayek or Jeniffer Conolly or Nicole Kidman or... there are gazillions of lovely women out there, you had to pick those spoiled little pissing, unorgasmic, silly brats? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yeah, but they'll still take them sometimes if they're offered! I guess variety is the spice of life. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
