Marriages between them two!

It's not just the Egyptians. In my Julii campaign, I got many proposal from 80 years old men! in order to marry a daughter half their age...

Well if she is around 16+ i understand regardless of his age, very old men prob gonna die anyway from HC sex.

Just under 16 is too young and fragile for the ladies. Funny how Egyptians had their ways in sex life. Yeah may sounds like paradise but after you realise what you have done, it would really be shocking and disturbing the Peace.

This may sound funny, but I had a girl wanting to marry another girl, so they show up a married on the family tree. I'll try to take a pic of it.

[Vikings]

Heh well the boys never gonna have any fun unless they'er Bi's.

Bi females doesnt really bother me, but the gay peoples are really disturbing.

For the male point of views is pretty sick, those Gaylords were the rebel barbarians like the one defending Athens from the beginning of the game.

All they do is work together, sleep together and fight together. One happy gay family in the bucket that needed to be punish!

Glad im not part of that family.

er...jolly good? Just as soon as I find a translator.......

Anyway dynastic marriages often involved one or both partners being what would today seem too young. This is because they were political unions more than anything. Girls especially would have been pawns in the game.

Way of the world my friends. Women were little more than breeders for the "big" men. Marry them young and their breeding potential was higher. If you "snuffed it" before they were thirty, you had at least left your legacy and had your fun in the process.

Secondly, why have moral doubt about the marrying age of fictional charachters, even on grounds of principal, when you are willing to send 1000s of men to be slaughtered to forward your conquring ambitions? No, let's call a spade a spade and enjoy the game for what it is, and hope they don't add a patch where you can hear the poor girls crying in dispair as they are sent off to marry some old fart.

[Vikings]

Well i guess they want her before ol' fart get her, make sense. Sound weird but who care just a game.

At the time, marrying for love wasn't really a reality. So when you say "she wanted to marry", that's not the case at all. Your faction leader likely spotted someone he wanted to make an alliance with, or someone he thought would be a good addition to the family. The girl wouldn't be consulted at all. She'd be told "By the way, you are marrying this guy tomorrow".

Harsh by today's standards, sure, but considered normal for the time period.
