    Default Infertile character

    What can I name a trait in the descr_strat that will make a character completely infertile (before game start)?

    You can't make them completely infertile, the game code doesn't allow that.

    I believe EBFertile 1, is the one we use to make the Romans and other similar factions super-infertile.

    Because the Family Tree for the Romans doesn't represent a family, it would be foolish and one-sided to do so. It represents powerful individuals within many families, whose connections to one another are more along the lines of adoption (not as we understand it today, of course, but rather more like a political adoption). Thus we stop children from popping up in the tree, not because Romans didn't have children, but because they don't fit into the family tree system we have.

    No. EBInfertile is the visible trait. The one we use to set factionwide fertility is Infertile, which is hidden.

    You could give all of your generals tons of negative fertility, but if you have more provinces than generals, your generals will have children. It's just how the game works. However, if you give only one general infertility traits, other generals will be more likely to have the children to fill the need.

    Or you'll get more adoptions.

    The Fertility attribute is limited to the [-3, 3] interval, unfortunately.

    So, this is the solution for lets say making an character for example of the Epirus faction infertile?

    Or is it: "EBFertile 1"?
