Can't have kids

[Beyond Disbelief]

It's kinda the biggest feature to Buddhists, did you not know about "Designate Heir"? I was kind of lost when you were talking about killing off old heirs.

Yeah, I knew about this but I thought that its effectiveness was minimal. This is huge!
Thanks!

Unless they've changed it, there IS a cap actually...you can't have any more than 10 living, trueborn children at a time, I don't believe. If you have fewer than that it's just bad luck, if your wife is only 28 you have a long time to have kids.

If you want to have kids, stay out of Byzantium.

I'm pretty sure I've had more than ten living legitimate children on occasion. Must be a soft cap if it exists at all...

Hi. For the first time in my CKII experience I want to have a hier with good stats/traits and not only with good claims.
But here is the problem.

I am buddhist, so I can choose my heir. My current heir is junk and I'll make him die in battle as soon as he'll grow 16.
I have already lots of daughters and I have 65 courtiers. I have no concubines.
My current spouse has boosted fertility for a year for the "entertainment for my lover" feature.

I tried and tried at least 30-40 times to continuously reload my save (done when my spouse got the boost... yeah, yeah I know... I'm no man 'cause I dont play Ironman XD) and let a year (+ 2 months) pass, but nothing. Some of my courtiers got children sometimes but not me. No message of pregnancy ever came.
I know that the breeding penalty for a huge court it is said to affect only unlanded courtiers and not the ruler but I begin to think that this could not be true.
Just to try I even tried to CHEAT my fertility and boost it to abnormal values (like 100000%) but nothing happened.

Do you guys have any ideas?

There is a limit of children a ruler can have maybe?

Seriously needs to be a Kamasutra event in the game.
