Aedui wives suffer plague of headaches...

[phonicsmonkey]

hi guys

GREAT mod. Really, absolutely the best I have played for RTW (or any game for that matter). So very well done and thanks so much for that.

I'm enjoying my first EB campaign as the Aedui and I think (with the help of the Recruitment viewer) I am starting to figure out how things work.

I have just one problem though - I've played many turns (think the year is 258 BCE), my original faction leader died of old age, and most of the first generation of characters are reaching retirement age, and they have between them produced the grand total of NO children.

This is despite them all being married and spending a great deal of time at home helping out with the housework, offering to cook dinner and bringing home bunches of flowers.

Now my usual house rule is to keep the bloodline pure by refusing all "man of the hour" and adoption events, but I'm starting to worry my royal line could die out altogether and my campaign with it.

Am I missing something or do I have a botched install and need to reinstall everything?

Btw I'm using EB 1.0 with all the official bugfixes, and Ferromancer's BI.exe installer....

One more question - why are the Aedui so under...only joking

The Aedui were a confederation. They may have bad fertility like the Romans so that you get a wide group of characters through adoption and man-of-the-hour and so that you don't have a royal family lording over the confederation.

well that makes some sense - but I don't see anything in my character's traits to suggest that...can anyone confirm?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

The fertility/infertility traits are hidden. I know the Romani have them and I think KH, but I'm not sure about the Aedui.
