ACIN's procreation problem...

At this point I made all my border provinces have lvl 4 gov and made a local ruler in each. Does this affect the birth rate?

Yeah, every client ruler will count in the total number of family members allowed. If you have tons of recruited generals, you will have less births in your royal family.

I don't think this is entirely true considering in my Casse campiagn I have 3 settlements, 2 client rulers, and 6 family members...do you have any proof for this? It interests me

Also, if a faction hordes they gain a set amount of family members although they would not possess any settlements. Therefore, a hordeing faction also negates this.

Or it could just be BI.exe, since that is what I use..

If you have none or very few settlements, you will have more family members than settlements. That 1:1 ratio only really takes effect if you have somewhere around more than five settlements.

Makes sense. Honestly though I can account for a few games where I've had too many family members/client rulers instead of a shortage so the percent chance must just drop instead of becoming null, am I correct?

In other words you can still have kids even if there is a 20:1 ratio of family to settlements but the odds are very low?
