Any possible way to increase heirs?

I have problem producing enough heirs for my Scipii campaign. I run out of family members to lead armies and admininster cities after conquering Africa. So is this any way for them to make more sons?

If you've got the cash then bribing some from a rival faction or rebels is always good.

I second the bribing motion. Find some faction that's down on its luck and has some small, remnant armies that don't cost much to bribe.

You have to bribe a family member, though.

You can also (hope to) get some captains that are leading armies to win battles and (possibly) gain enough notice that they'll be available for adoption into your family.

is there an upper limit of the number of family members you're allowed to have ?

As an aside you can see why they don't allow the player to arrange marriges any more...

Someone who marries one of your daughters becomes part of your family/faction... But when a male member of your family/faction gets married they stay in you faction.....

How could you possibly reconcile that with inter-faction marrige?!?!?!
