Family members?

[Germa]

Just out of my own curiosity wondering what size of families (ie. nobles) people have usually? I myself have 137 family members with Rome 182BC.

It depends on how many provinces you have.

[Germa]

What has provinces got to do with it?

[Pharnakes]

When you have a low family memeber to province ratio, the game makes lots of FMs be born, and also you get lots of adoptions and men of the hour.

When you have a high FM to orov ratio, the birth rate tails off, and you get lees apdotions.

IIRC, the game tries to keep the balance at around 1 family mebember for every 2 or 3 provs.

[Germa]

well I have 45 provinces and 137 family members, so something failed somewhere :D

[Pharnakes]

Ok, maybe it's the other way round, in that case. IDK :shrug:

I think the often quoted "1:2" is either a myth or the absolute minimum. I usually have a 1.5:1 or even better ratio of characters of age, and about 3:1 or better when counting in children and unmarried women.

[Germa]

yes that 3:1 sounds more believable :)

I think its kinda more complicated than that. You probably keep getting lots of births until you have around 3 FMs for every province but you stop getting any offers of adoptions or men of the hour[s] after around 1.5 FMs per province.

Once you have enough daughters at least in their 12 you get no more silly adoptions but plenty of proposals; once each turn until you confirm.

Traits effect breeding, I believe, outside the ratio thing. My current royal house is -thankfully, because I roleplay successions- quite reproductive.

How does roleplaying sucseions make them more reproductive?


Unless you mean something really sick, that I won't express in clearer language. Anyway, I'm sure that bit is hard coded.:eyebrows:

I miss a coma and you pop into won't you? :whip:

Thankfully so, because I roleplay successions:

The crown must go to the most noble by blood. As long as there were males of the ΛVΣΟΤΑΝΑΚVΜ line they were kings. When they were depleted, it was the family of ΚΗΛΤΙΚVΜ, whose elder ΤΙΡΤVΜ's wifey ΣΗΧΟΛΑ was the great-granddaughter of the first king and holy ancestor ΤΑΝΤΑΛΟΣ, granddaughter of the second king ΛΑΤΡΟΝΟΣ and daughter of the third king ΑΜΒΟΝ, thus the noblest, who have become the new royal family. :sultan:

Also called agnatic-cognatic succession.

[Pharnakes]

That all makes perect sense, what I fail to see is how you doing so results in more family memebers?

[Horst Nordfink]

I don't think he was implying that that made his FMs more reproductive. He was just saying that thankfully they are reproductive, becuase he likes to roleplay succesion.

:gah2: ΦΑΡΝΑΚΗΣ!

Horst is right. Thankfully they are reproductive because I hate to see my royal family get depleted. :wall: The ΚΗΛΤΙΚVΜ women are spawning enough baby boys to complete the campaign with. :baby:

Ah, I misunderstod the because in your first post.

My apologies. :bow:

[Senatus Populusque Romanus]

you went to 183 BC? wow :laugh4:


Yeah, it depends on the number of settlements you have.
