ACIN's procreation problem...

[a completely inoffensive name]

Keep in mind that all children, unmarried women, and recruited generals effect the birth rate. If your number of family members, children, unmarried women, and generals is near to or above the number of settlements you own, the game will stop your family from having children. If you have a bunch of recruited generals or such, kill them off to make room for births.

At this point I made all my border provinces have lvl 4 gov and made a local ruler in each. Does this affect the birth rate?

Stop using family members as generals?

[A Very Super Market]

What a preposterous idea. No commoner can possibly lead as well as a royal. Why, the only way to keep our bloodline competent would be.... to have them marry their cousins or something.... surely, this would result only in the finest specimens at the end of the bloodline.

May I see a picture of your family tree? I might learn something new.

Can't. I every time I try somehow it ends up being my screen as if I had the game minimized. Otherwise I was going to make my game an AAR. I had a funny title and everything.

Ok man, cool with me.

Just lead your 2 family members to glory! Father and son, fight together and die together!

What's the faction again?

No... your problem si soo pitiful, and maybe you must consider adopt some good Hellenes to fill your royal family...

But I do have a serious suggestion for you...

If u don't want an adoptee, and your FH have less than 4 child, sit him on a nice medium city, but not too large, so every turns he will occupied with overseeing strucrural construction... In my game, for somewhat reasons, a governor with busy construction schedules usually got child... (maybe they get bored by those carpenters and masons, that only place some wood and stones with niosy sounds (Thuck tuck tack tack bang slam!), so they start seeing their wives?)

Yeah, every client ruler will count in the total number of family members allowed. If you have tons of recruited generals, you will have less births in your royal family.

ahh, shoot I have over loaded on them since the beginning of my campaign.

I don't think this is entirely true considering in my Casse campiagn I have 3 settlements, 2 client rulers, and 6 family members...do you have any proof for this? It interests me

Also, if a faction hordes they gain a set amount of family members although they would not possess any settlements. Therefore, a hordeing faction also negates this.

Or it could just be BI.exe, since that is what I use..

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

If you have none or very few settlements, you will have more family members than settlements. That 1:1 ratio only really takes effect if you have somewhere around more than five settlements.

Makes sense. Honestly though I can account for a few games where I've had too many family members/client rulers instead of a shortage so the percent chance must just drop instead of becoming null, am I correct?

In other words you can still have kids even if there is a 20:1 ratio of family to settlements but the odds are very low?
