overcome the 'Romans DO NOT have babies' thing, huh?

270-240BC: 1 baby girl born...to a dude with "flaccid" and "minion" as traits...(in one campaign he became 'Manius the Killer'...restart he's 'Manius the Minion')

and is there a way to...ahem ahem...unminion a character or stop the decent...does 'minion' have an anti-trait? and what makes a character Come-Of-Age a minion? Lastly, does the retinue "Artist" have anything to do with it? I keep getting...the artist...does anyone know the trigger for this so I can avoid it

or should i read On the Feeding and Breeding of Governors and Generals by Aesculapius (credited the treatise to Frogbeastegg in another post, sawwy) a little more carefully?

If you want to increase birth rate, have your generals stay in a city with a temple of fertiliy. Minion does not decrease fertility, BTW, though it might influence it indirectly (through triggering other traits). However, I never had any problem with it or with artists during my campaign, and AFAIK artist does not give you any bad traits. Romans do get babies, though, it is just that in practically all TW games, it takes a while before your royal family starts to breed.

That is always a good idea.
