Marriages between them two!

[Vikings]

Well i started playing the Egyptians, once in awhile i started to get suitable husbands for the young ladies in the family. Then i had 42 old with lack of skills, i refuse it. And a year later she wanted to marry 48 old coot with hardly any skills.

I feels sorry for her had to check on her profile, good lord shes only 12 yrs little lady want to play queenie. May God what have i done!

This is odd, but dunno how you ppls feel about this. I dont think 12yrs girl will be suitable with mid/late 40's old man.

I guess Eqyptians are strange after all, hell i dont know much about Egyptians. This is disturbing news about Egyptian Faction.

If they really had implemented the way of life of the Egyptian faction, you would have your own sister as queen, so don't complain :D

[Vikings]

Dont think the gentlemen will like this ideas from royal families. Sound too weird, by the time she is able to have kids he would be old as hell and prob die from it. Just not right in that fashions.

I should have named that little one Soda! :scastle:

It's not just the Egyptians. In my Julii campaign, I got many proposal from 80 years old men! in order to marry a daughter half their age...

[Vikings]

Well if she is around 16+ i understand regardless of his age, very old men prob gonna die anyway from HC sex.

Just under 16 is too young and fragile for the ladies. Funny how Egyptians had their ways in sex life. Yeah may sounds like paradise but after you realise what you have done, it would really be shocking and disturbing the Peace.

This may sound funny, but I had a girl wanting to marry another girl, so they show up a married on the family tree. I'll try to take a pic of it.

[Vikings]

Heh well the boys never gonna have any fun unless they'er Bi's.

Bi females doesnt really bother me, but the gay peoples are really disturbing.

For the male point of views is pretty sick, those Gaylords were the rebel barbarians like the one defending Athens from the beginning of the game.

All they do is work together, sleep together and fight together. One happy gay family in the bucket that needed to be punish!

Glad im not part of that family.

er...jolly good? Just as soon as I find a translator.......

Anyway dynastic marriages often involved one or both partners being what would today seem too young. This is because they were political unions more than anything. Girls especially would have been pawns in the game.

Way of the world my friends. Women were little more than breeders for the "big" men. Marry them young and their breeding potential was higher. If you "snuffed it" before they were thirty, you had at least left your legacy and had your fun in the process.

Secondly, why have moral doubt about the marrying age of fictional charachters, even on grounds of principal, when you are willing to send 1000s of men to be slaughtered to forward your conquring ambitions? No, let's call a spade a spade and enjoy the game for what it is, and hope they don't add a patch where you can hear the poor girls crying in dispair as they are sent off to marry some old fart.

[Vikings]

Well i guess they want her before ol' fart get her, make sense. Sound weird but who care just a game.

At the time, marrying for love wasn't really a reality. So when you say "she wanted to marry", that's not the case at all. Your faction leader likely spotted someone he wanted to make an alliance with, or someone he thought would be a good addition to the family. The girl wouldn't be consulted at all. She'd be told "By the way, you are marrying this guy tomorrow".

Harsh by today's standards, sure, but considered normal for the time period.

Well i prefer to say, they wanted to marry so they can strengthen their bloodlines. For example, if she see superman of course she will do anything to gain his support and she will be happy and having little super boys later on. Like securities so on.

Of course it can lead up-side down for lack of disciples and skills.

Historically, girls used to be allowed to marry when they were 12 and man came of age when they were 16.

So RTW got this one entirely correct.

What's the big deal in having your 12 year old daughter get married? She probably has a life expectancy of only 30 or 40 anyhow.
