Number of heirs
I'm not sure if this is possible, but if it is, their should be a lot more heirs for the factions, espically the Eastern factions, in partituclar Parthia. They all had multiple wives and cocubines, and while this can't be properly done in the game, they should still have a lot more sons (and daughters). Any one know how to do this?

Germanian kings also had multiple wives and concubined (or slave women). I don't know about the Romans or Greeks, but I do believe most "pagans" allowed polygami.I'm not sure if this is possible, but if it is, their should be a lot more heirs for the factions, espically the Eastern factions, in partituclar Parthia.

Re: Number of heirs
Good point. The Macedonians certaintly had many wives, at least during Philip and Alexanders time. I think the Romans only had one wife, and only bedded slaves, and I don't think the illegitimate sons were counted. The Numidians I know also had multiple wives/children. Not sure about the Egyptians (since they married their sisters), but they may have had concubines.

Re: Number of heirs
I believe almost all ancient societies practiced poligamy. I think it was the rise of Christianity that stopped the practice.
Nothing close to pity moved inside me. I was sliding over some edge within myself. I was going to rip open his skin with my bare hands, claw past his ribs and tear out his liver and then I was going to eat it, gorging myself on his blood.

Re: Number of heirs
We can add hidden fertility bonuses for those factions. I do not know about multiple wives...

Re: Number of heirs
I wasn't asking if we could have multiple wives. I didn't think we could do it, but to reprsent it, just make the factions heirs and daughters (a lot) more common.

Re: Number of heirs
Didn't some of the eastern Kings have something like 50+ children? They screwed like rabbits!

Re: Number of heirs
I like the idea here. It would also help the AI to have a few more armies with family members as leaders.
It seems to be a common belief that religious people are just existentialists taking things a bit too seriously.
Re: Number of heirs
Yes, the Eastern kings were quite promiscus to say the least. Though I can hardly think that it we can have that many heirs, but they certaintly need more heirs (and more daughters).
