I got lucky with my first 1066 Matilda of Tuscany run, and she became Immortal in her 20s, only a few years after game start. Matilda is now 44, and only 2 counties away from becoming Queen of Italy. She has 4 sons and 3 daughters.
However, Matilda just got her 2nd straight "Difficult Pregnancy" event chain (both have turned out fine, so far). Immortal characters are immune to disease and infirmity, but they can still die in battle or be assassinated. I assume that dying in childbirth is not a disease, therefore a real risk to her Immortal self. Or is this just another case where the event text for pregnant 40+ yr olds is written for mortals, and I really don't worry about difficult pregnancies at all? If anyone has experience with this, please share.
I also have a question regarding fertility. The wiki says:
"The age at which they became immortal is forever their effective age for portraits, attraction opinion, fertility, and marriage acceptance."
Does this mean that I can still have Matilda popping out kids at her 200th birthday party?
