    Do I have to worry about my SS6.4 settings being the same each time, or is it irrelevant once a campaign's started?

    it is relevant i believe. so to be safe you should change them each time.

    Thanks for that. Will make sure I do. BTW, does anyone know what the limit for childbearing for female characters in SS6.4 is?

    Hey folks,

    Thanks for the invite, don't think I'll be able to take you up on it at the moment but I'm hoping this isn't the case in the future. In the meantime, this setup looks pretty interesting and I'm sure I don't even need to wish you "best of luck" with it.

    In SS it gets progressively more difficult for a woman to give birth past 30. Around 40 it's pretty much useless to try. Which is why marrying the 40 year old virgin to an enemy FH is a great way to stunt his royal line.
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    That's really annoying then - we have 4 princesses which we could have married off to generals, but its too much of a risk, as unlike in the Middle Ages in MTWII you've only got one shot at it.

    Save's done BTW.

    I noticed the King has the 'grim commander' trait. Unfortunately one result of playing this as a hotseat is that we are deprived of the ability to choice how to respond for ransom requests. It's easy enough to fix the traits, but I'm wondering if there's some was to use the console to restore some semblance of this decision? It's a shame too, the fact that the money would come from our character's own pockets makes the traits especially meaningful.

    sorry, I am not exactly sure what you mean. Are you talking about the marriage and diplomatic offers I pmed you about? Because those can be responded to by me when the turn begins. I just need you to tell me your decision on those.

    Speaking of which, what is your decision no those? That is all the turn is waiting on at the moment. Don't mean to rush you if you are talking with people or something, I just wanted to make sure you know you actually need to choose (as in, tell me your choice) before the turn can start.

    I think he's talking about ransom offers that the AI makes when we lose a battle and the fact that his character has a trait that has some bearing on those.

    Is it possible to sticky the Save thread?

    FYI, before I wrote the post in the courtroom I read this here. Just wrote it there to hopefully stirr up some IC tensions.
