    Lightbulb Family Tree Ideas

    I was just thinking that it would be really cool if the family tree had a little bit more to offer on your family members, particularly when they have died. For instance:

    -At the moment it only tells you when they died, so you've no idea how long they lived for. It would be nice to know when they were born too.

    -It would be nice to know how they died, whether it be by the plague, old age or a heroic battle with the Egyptian faction leader.

    -And lastly maybe the title they died with and whether they had been a faction leader or heir.

    For example:
    Gaius Julius the Mighty
    Born 261 BC
    Became faction leader 230 BC
    Died 200 BC in an heroic battle with the (insert faction) (insert captain/general/faction leader) (insert name)


    I think this would greatly add to the immersion and would allow the player to plot some devilish plan to avenge the death of a prized and powerful general.

    As an afterthought it would also be very handy if when a son comes of age there was a shortcut on the scroll that took you straight to the family tree. At the moment it's a bit of trial and tribulation to follow and keep track of the family tree, especially when the empire gets bigger.

    What do you think?
