[2.5.1.1] No ambitions available?

[Kumicho]

Here's a weird one. I don't have any ambitions available. I have no children, so I should be able to have the "have a son/daughter" ambition, *and* I ran my money down to under 100g (I am King) so I should have the "build warchest" one available as well.

Weirdly enough, after running down my treasury a second time I finally get the "build warchest" ambition, but still no ambition for having children?

Ok, after scrolling through the character interaction menu, NONE of the characters have any ambition to have children... Definitely a bug (unless I missed something).

Some of the smaller ambitions, mainly "Get Married" and "Have a Son/Daughter", are removed with Conclave. They were not very interesting and didn't really provide anything meaningful to the game.

Except for the fertility boost!!!!!! I'm having DRASTICALLY fewer kids since Conclave came out. One part of it is the lack of Have a Son/Daughter fertility bonus, and the other is the fact that it's a struggle now to get your wife up to 50% opinion of you. Before the opinion nerf, you could usually get her up to 75-100% opinion of you, and increase her chances of getting pregnant.

I'm having fewer kids, my vassals are all having fewer kids, and I've had several dynasty dukes die out because they didn't have heirs. Why would this get disabled just because I bought a DLC??!?

Did have a son/daughter give a fertility boost in the vanilla game? I thought that was a mod thing.

Just checked the files (note: patch 2.4.5) and yes, in vanilla it gives a 25% fertility bonus.

Yes, have a lustful Spawn of Satan as my Duke (19 y.o.) and 0 children with a Charismatic Negotiator (+5% fertility) wife (20 y.o ) and the family focus (+25% fertility) after a good 4 years. Going to try seduction and see what happens. At least get a bastard, which would actually suit my Duke.

BTW loving the Spawn of Satan perks. Have a nice army of satanist conquering for me for no cost. Have a norse and 2 zunist witches on my council with wonder stats.
