Hello there,

one point about I'm wondering for a while is the strange occurance that the Roman male children inherit ONLY the "cognomen" of their fathers. Well, I'm neither specialist in ancient history nor Roman history, but as a far as I know it was the middle name, that was the Family name (something with "gens" and "nomen" ).
E.G. Pvblivs Cornelivs Scipio.
Publius = pr(a)enomen
Cornelius = Familyname, he was member of the Cornelian house
Scipio = cognomen
Unfortunately the game engine does not continue the line of the Cornelians, but that of the Scipiones.

Now my question: is there any chance to correct this? I know of (sub-) mods that - more or less - fix this problem by giving the male children the Family- AND cognomen of the father, but as far as I know, this is historically incorrect, as the cognomen could differ (or even always did differ) from the father's one.

Thank you for your answers in advance,
Treverer
