Suitable Husband

**Arkantos** · 03-17-2005, 01:54

In my game, most of my family member r female, n some of them still not marry in the age 40+. N now got a 76 years old guy wan to marry her.

I oso get some 50+ husband for others.
Anyone experience it before?
Any tips how to get more son than daughter?
Maybe I shouldnt bribe so many general, because they will consider as ur family members.

I accept almost every husband candidate into my family. Age doesn't matter

I totally disagree with that. A dude of 20 will live (65 is 'normal) 90 turns. A dude of 40 wil only live 50 turns. So that is allmost twice the time of the 40 year old.

That's time to:
- make baby's
- Gain stars/management and influence.
- win battles/ govern your 'high attention' cities.

I also accept almost every adoption/marrige proposal without worrying aqbout age or whatever. Of course ther younger the better, but some old geezer who can spend 10 years governing some out of the way settlement is better than nobody at all.

it depends who they are marrying.. In my Egypt campaign, I have a 58 year old married to a 12 year old.. and they have a child..

I have 30 provinces. And 5 family members. No-one is suitable to marry into my family.

Off topic, that's not uncommon to see among royalty back in those days.

On topic, I accept everyone for proposal. If I get low on family members, I take a captain with a small army out and win a few battles for the "Man of the Hour" event.
