A wee problem

[JimBob]

If you've seen this pipe up. Decided to start off with the Goths and went to horde right away. You start with two generals the leader and his first son. That son has four sons. When I went to horde two more generals showed up. Their only stats were 1 influence (in both cases from the trait 'Positive') and both were Christian. Checking the family tree to see where they came from they were two of the sons of the faction heir. Not a problem, but when I checked their ages on was 44 and the other 31 while their father was 20 something still.

I don't know how much sense I'm making, as I'm running on the bottom of a caffine run so I'll try it again tommorow(today now I think) and bring some screen shots.

Maybe he adopted them?

Maybe he adopted them?

Or married his daughters. Although it sounds like a bug, I noticed when I started I played ERE, and the same general picture was used for father and son even though the father picture was older.

I think they are hired generals, so they don't appear in the family tree, thus cannot become faction leader.

But that's where he looked and saw it.
I think they were adopted.

Looks like they are adopted. Strange that there was no message. It seems that there there is a minimum number of generals needed to go to horde. It's not a bug but a rather interesting behavior
