In playtesting, the one frustrating thing for me was that none of the adoptees were patricians, so for someone trying to guide Rome along a patrician-rule timeline, this was hampering. Perhaps the Patricians should still be able to have babies- after all, they were pseudoaristocratic families, rather than being merely prominent by accomplishment, as the Plebians had to be.

Should this be posted in the hidden forum as well?
