Cannot request Marriage

[Abmadi]

I just started playing the game, and really like it. However, I can't get any foreign princesses to marry my generals. It isn't that they say no, its that I dont even have the option. I send a diplomat to talk to a princesses, and there isn't even a way for me to offer it. Is this some kind of bug, or am I not understanding a neuance of the game? Does it have to be certain princesses, or do I need to have certain traits with my diplomat? Or am I just screwed?

To get a princess to marry into your faction, you need to have an heir of royal blood that has come of age and isn't already married.

You can't get a princess to marry your generals, only a family member.

Oh and welcome to the ORG by the way.

In fact they will only marry the Faction Leader or Faction Heir...

It is a good idea to keep an eye on you upcoming prince and try to avoid one of those in faction marrages before he becomes heir...

Ah yes, good point Bob
