Marriages? Agent Limits?

[Naughtius Maximus]

Two queries:

Has anyone figured out how to arrange a marriage for your faction generals/statesmen? I'm playing as Rome (Julii); I can negotiate marriages with other factions but my guys stay bachelors. NOT very Roman. The odd significant name pops up i.e. playing with Lucius Aemilius Paullus now (yay!) but it sort of screws up the immersion a bit.

Is the agent limit strictly limited to 2 of each, or is it based upon the size of your empire? Seems a bit ridiculously low to me.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

The agent limit grows as your Imperium grows. When you get more armies and navies slots you should get more agent slots as well.

Great, good. Thanks for that.

My impression of the way they handle the family aspect of the game is that it has been made as absolutely counter intuitive as possible. I seen announcements flash by regularly that tell me little and neither does the menu for it. If I had set out to make this not work right as compared to the previous implementation in Shogun 2 I would have to say there would be nothing I would change.

In RL the families of the "other factions" would be jockeying to marry into the dominant faction with the hope of moving up the social/political ladder. Divorces were common in the Roman world as well. CA missed the boat on the immersion for this game.

What? You're not so impressed with the graphics, the campaign map, the sieges and the naval battles that you're speechless and can't even fathom to level criticism?

Oh well, at least RTW II is pretty, which impresses people the first few times they play it and helps sell the game.

I wish CA would have made RTW I with better graphics, more realism, less bugs, better optimization and a few more features.

I feel like all we got was better graphics and more realism.
