Princess Use?

Are you guys be inclined to use princesses for the Diadochi since there were a string of political marriages during the their existance?

This issue is under discussion, but there are good opertunities for some factions to use this. However, the feature where princesses will steal a general from another faction isn't really historical.

Antony and Cleopatra, maybe?

Just eliminate the stealing thing! That's probably the best way...It doesn't seem to be historically accurate...

Cleo didn't exactly steal Antony from the Republic. He was a power-hungry sociopath with meglomaniac tendencies who tried to carve out a little empire for himself in the east. Cleo hardly stole him for another faction.

Possibly true about Antonius' character but Cleopatra certainly facilitated his drift away from Rome. My concern about the princesses is that not every faction conforms to the 'family dynasty' model- so I would prefer if they were called something else. "Influential Women"? "WAGs"?
