After Catching Her Husband Cheating, the Empress Decides to Play for the Other Team

[Meshed Gear]

Cheating with the accountant, of all people. Good thing the Empress had a backup consort to replace him with.

(Norse English custom nation, no mods though. And my starting leader and heir were both female, which as it turns out means the normally generated heirs are all female as well)

 

[Mansa Sekou]

Both ruler and consort are female.
Wait wut?

 

[Thrake]

Sooooo... Did you get an heir?

 

[Markusmiless]

I mean she is a Free Thinker.
Unbound by strict doctrines our ruler encourages everyone to try new things and reason freely about where to take our great country in the future.
So obviously she is not going to play by the same rules as other monarchs, this is the most reasonable explanation probably.

When you play with a custom namelist which gives you a high chance of reigning queens, strange things will happen ... male consorts with female names are the norm if your ruler is female. My guess is that the game ignores the algebraic signs when creating consorts for queen-regnants (they are also still called 'queens' internally).

Let's hope for 1.23 ... I usually use save-game-editing to give them a more appropiate name.

Yes, Anna delivered.

Funnily enough I got the event about the newborn being a girl, and whether she be declared the heir or not.

I'm not using a custom name list, the names are English culture names since my nation has English culture.
I've had one male ruler so far, Reginald became emperor after the previous ruler died without a heir.

I'll be honest I'm impressed by both Empresses here. That would've taken some work and divine intervention at the medical level of EU4.

I believe we have proof here that the old Norse gods were very real. Praise Odin.

 

[Zephyrum]

Jesus walked on the water? Hah, Odin made two woman be able to procriate!

Shouldn't this be a bug or are we going to ignore it because it's funny?

Nah, receiving guidance from Snotra on how to knock up your recently promoted concubine despite having matching parts is a feature, not a bug
