FM/regions ratio - client rulers: do they count as FM´s now or not?

[Ca Putt]

Afaik they do count towards the limit.

Adoptees prevent the Guys they get adopted by getting children and ... well count towards the limit(tho I think you guessed that). A guy can only have 4 kids, Dead and Adopted FMs also count towards this.

thanks you very much Ca Putt! didnt know that - the four children limit and that those adoptees prevents the Benefactors to get their own. ...i only guessed that lately - but good to hear that.

actually i made much use of adoption in all of my campaigns - to use them as Governors.

so no wonder why in some of my campaigns the primary Dynasties died off.

regarding the Client rulers - maybe someone knows about these too.?
if some detailed info helps: in my mentioned campaign now it´s 240BC and i have
9 Client Rulers and Generals
76 FM´s (all together - incl. children, wifes) and
41 regions controlled

will count, in case only the grown male FM´s count to that ratio (?), those separately.
