Keep it roman

[Vlad-Tudor]

Something might be wrong..

[Moros]

Did you make any changes to the game (installing modpacks,...) and load an older campaign?

[Vlad-Tudor]

It is not an error. I bribed all those generals from the Getai so the Romani faction had only one Avrelia member and the rest all Getai.

Edit: Avrelia died, now they are only Getai.

[Ca Putt]

Hillarious! great feat!

Now that should piss off those senators pretty bad, considering they thought they had until the first century BC until "barbarians" join the senate :D

[Vlad-Tudor]

Well, I just hope those will make enough babies to keep the empire going..
For now it seems like they don't like roman women that much.

Kids often get assigned to the first elligible FM on the family tree. As Cotta was the last on the tree, chances are you'd have to wait / kill a few other FMs first ...

And Roman fertility rates are quite low. Much lower than other factions'.

And Roman fertility rates are quite low. Much lower than other factions'.

Why is that?

[d'Arthez]

Think that has to do with how the historical SPQR functioned. They did not have kings, and it is not the case that a father who was consul was a strong guarantee that his son(s) would achieve the same. This is even more true for the "lesser" Patrician families, who only contributed a few consuls in their long histories.

[Vlad-Tudor]

I played a few campaigns with Romani, their members have quite enough sexy time, but the problem comes in a situation like the above when you have only bribed members. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Where do you get the fertility rates, aren't they random or hardcoded? Seleucids (=romani in eb) had to have many FM.

Also if anyone wants the savegame with this situation for fun just say.

[Ludens]

Fertility is affected by traits, but there also is a hardcoded mechanism at work to keep the number of FMs proportional to the number of cities.
