For the first time in my life, I think I've found a bug that I've never seen reported before. It's not serious, because it requires a lot of work to achieve, but I figured I should report it. In short, I have a family member that isn't showing up on the family tree. Here's how it happened:
I had been refusing marriage offers for my young faction leader, because I wanted to use him to arrange a political alliance with another faction. On the turn that I finally tracked down a 4 charm Portuguese princess, I was offered a marriage proposal for him yet again. Instead of rejecting it, I simply minimized the offer. I then approached the princess, she accepted the marriage offer, and he was married. The other marriage option didn't disappear though. As a laugh, I clicked Accept on the marriage offer, and was given the same message you get when you adopt someone who has already died. Interesting, but no big deal.
A few turns later, a marriage proposal screen popped up, like you would get if you had an unmarried Princess wandering around. That was strange, since I had no princesses at all. I also noticed that the name of the woman was "Campagnola de Crete" which was the name of the woman on the 'aborted' marriage proposal to my faction leader.
I minimized the offer and went to check my family tree to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Sure enough, there was no one by that name on my family tree. In fact there weren't any unmarried women (other than children) on my family tree.
I wanted to see what would happen, so I accepted the marriage proposal. It went through as normal and the new general spawned into my capital.
I then checked my family tree again, and nothing had changed. Mouseover of the new general showed him as a family member (see second screenshot), rather than a general, but he wasn't on the family tree at all.
Not a serious bug, but I find it kind of interesting. I'm now curious to see if he'll have any children, or whether he'll just act like non-family member general.
