Family Trees - can i ????

One thought that I had about this (I haven't investigated it to see if it's actually doable) is to set up your family tree at the start of the game with everyone still alive (including guys going back as many generations as you want to show up on the family tree), and then have a script that runs on startup to kill off everyone who's supposed to be dead. If it works, you'd effectively be able to have more complex historical family trees.

That would work, but it would doubtless have some undesirable effects. Like, getting fifty death messages at startup.

could you use that same script to close all those death message windows that will inevitably pop up. i know nothing about scripting so if thats a stupid idea i apologize

I don't think so, no. I'm not an expert scripter, though, so perhaps it's possible.

Well you could do this, though its not ideal: Have it kill everyone, diable the AI, end the turn, and Renable the AI. This would clear the messages. You could even have it reset the season if you like..

hmmmmm, i think i would rather just suffer through making my lazy-ass close all the windows

they wouldn't have to close them anyway. They just wouldn't open them. They'd have a whole series of messages on the left for one turn, its not that bad...
