[CK2Plus Bug] Matrilineal Marriage Not Working

[Hamza]

Hi all:

I'm playing version 1.06b from Steam with the latest CK2Plus. In every game I play, at some point I'll have a queen (Cognatic Primogeniture) and I'll marry her to a fellow "matrilineally". Now, as I understand matrilineal marriage, the groom joins the queen's dynasty and any kids from the union are of the queen's dynasty.

It never works. We'll marry, he'll stay with his old dynasty, and the kids will be of his dynasty. My kingdom will be thrown into chaos because the heir is of a different dynasty.

Is this a bug? I ALWAYS click 'matrilineal'.

On a side note, can anyone tell me how to fix this temporarily in a saved game file? I have a GREAT game going on and don't want to let it fall to pieces because of this bug.

The groom will never change dynasty. Are you accepting sure the marriage is matrilinear? (Venus symbol on the marriage rings in character screen.) If you had made a betrothal and accepted the marriage offer from the other side when both came of age, usually that will be whatever benefits the AI character (in this case normal, patrilinear marriage.)

This is a disaster. Are you saying I can BETROTH as Matrilineal, but when the groom comes of age and the event for the marriage fires, the AI will fire the option to marry them as regular/patrilineal?

How do I fixed this in a saved game file?

I don't know how to fix it in a save game, but what you do is send a counter-proposal with your desired marriage type by clicking on the ring and hearts alert.

Yes. What you should do is send the request yourself instead to avoid this issue, or when you see their request, just go to his char screen and send a matrilineal request yourself to avoid problems by rejecting the proposal because they sent patrilineal (or in general because i like being sure it's going to be matrilineal).

Like richvh, look at the marriage symbol underneath the husband picture: if it's a Mars symbol (circle and arrow), it's regular marriage. If it's venus (circle and cross), it's matrilineal.

I don't know to solve this via savegame editing, sorry.

Thank you so much for all your help. I'll check tonight but I suspect I just got suckered by the AI. Glad to know it's not a bug!
