which is a lot like real life. In life, you try to make the best decision you can with the information you have. And I "try" to RP that. I attempt to make Jan's decision based on what I think "he" knows, as well as balancing in his traits. It's impossible to be perfect with this but I try to come close.

Also, another problem with looking ahead, and using that to decide your IC decisions, is that the game has a bit of randomness thrown in. Many times I have looked ahead to see what marriages and births will happen, and then our official save game does something else.
