Lock up your daughters?

Only the daughters of the current faction leader become princess agents, the rest just stay on your family tree until they snag a suitable catch.

Luck of the draw really. Personally I tend to get tons of princesses. Though I do wish they had more use. Right now it's really hard to get them above 2-3 in charm. And the AI seems even worse off, with princesses rarely above 1 charm. The fact you only get to use them till their 35-40 years old doesn't help either.

Then again I wish women in general had more effect on the game. While an age dominated by man, there were a number of very powerful women around at the time. Within the time span of the game there was Isabella of Castile, the timespan of the game isn't far away from the reign of Elizabeth I. Both women easily as powerful as any man.
