"The only other problem with this family issue (and one that compounds the other weaknesses) is that the development of your family is entirely out of your hands. Aside from setting a faction heir (which, to be honest, has little effect on the game), everything that happens to your family comes about as a result of blind chance"

The problem here is that you can't send out your daughters to marry, which was a real-life option then. Also, all children are born in your capital, which is weird if your governor resides in Egypt.

I don't think this is too bad, as in Medieval I'd always forget to marry off my princesses when they got older, and the births in the capital thing seems more of an annoyance than a real problem.
