    Default What's the point of generals having children?

    I see how getting your generals married to women that have good traits is useful but then I got a message saying they have a child.. I was quite surprised when I noticed they bothered with this as the campaign of the game is over long before the kids can even start calling their dad an ass =|

    It probably didn't take an awful lot of time to put in the pictures for the children but yay waste of time anyways.

    It's for the immersion I guess. It's in the original game so I doubt many resources went into it.

    Children can be given as hostages when negotiating.

    Don't think this applies to the children of generals...
