Roman Adoption

[Horst Nordfink]

The first campaign I played on the brilliant new EB1.1 was Rome. I had only played a few years with Rome when a captain had proved himself worthy of adoption into the family of Cnaeus Cornelius Scipio Asina. This captain was named Cnaeus Licinus Crassus, and I must say, I adopted him based purely on his name, and sent him straight to Rome.

A few years later, i received a message about a certain Cneaus Cornelius Scipio. This puzzled me as I didn't think I had anyone by that name in my family. On closer inspection, it was my adopted captain, Cnaeus Licinius Crassus! A trait he had "Adopted into Gens Cornelia" right below another trait "Gens Licinia".

Is this a new thing for EB1.1? Or have I just completely missed this, and it's been in since the start?

It was in 1.0 definately. Btw I think there are two new gens in the game. Sempronii and Licinii.

This happened in one of my 1.0 roman campaigns as well, only twice though.

[Horst Nordfink]

Does this only happen when captains get adopted? I have had other adoptions where they've kept their own name.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Was he a "Man of the Hour" adoption? That's usually when he gets adopted into a gens, at least the way it was intended.

[Horst Nordfink]

Yes, Cnaeus Licinius Crassus was "Man of the Hour". I really liked that aspect of the game. Shouldn't the regular adoptions change the name as well then?

It would be nice if -anus was added to the nomen too, but I have no idea if that is possible. Either way, superb addition to the game!
