Breeding shows!

There is a max limit of 4 children per guy, including adoptions, unfortunately...

BTW, I've made a little tweak to princesses, I added +3 charm to the "IamPrincess" trait(hidden one to name her as princess), and also included the extra triggers for princesses traits kobal2f has in his mini-mod. This way, most princess start off with 5-6 charm, and they are now as beautiful as a princess should be! at least in my filthy imagination, that is...

I saw you'd done this. I've resisted so far. I might boost them 1 charm though. I find it fairly easy to find at least a charm 4 princess around. I think toning down some of the negative traits and ancilliaries for princesses might be useful too. Secret loves sure seem to pop often. But that may be because they get sent off on their own so much. Closer to home is probably better in that regard.

I suppose a limit of four kids per wife makes sense. Since I'm playing the English, is Henry allowed eight though?

I wonder if the fertility imposes limits on family size. Can a non-fertile wife have four? Can an ugly one have more than one? "I have my heir, thank you very much, now let me find me one of those foreign adulteresses ancilliaries!"

I had a "lamed groin" Henry show up in one game: no kids.

I've mostly gone with the adoptions to date. I'm wondering how much inheritance there is here. Have to get a crusade going and pump these daddies up before their sons mature.

Darned frogs won't leave me alone though. And Sicily is now excommed too. Sicily would be a nice stepping stone.

The princess thingy is a matter of preference, IMO. It has little effect on game balance and such. I like 'em hot! :p

And yes, no matter the fertility rating of the spouse, you can get 4 children. It's just not that likely to happen...

I for my game have added triggers to princess creation to include the NaturalPrincess trait, since there were no triggers for it. Used the priest's percentages as template. Just fairer for all than having always a charm 4 or so princess spawning or a charm 0. Now you get at least 1 and up to 3 :) (plus the other ancillaries and traits I activated)

Yeah, every time I dip into those files I see something else that just seems wrong.

Hope 1.2 is out soon so I can install that and then go back to tweaking.
