Family Tree?

[sskrypteia]

I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but chances are it may have been covered already.
But I would personally love to see a family tree style thing, a little like the total war series. Because I've found myself wondering quite often, why on earth my child is suddenly heir to Scotland, and no matter how many parents I seem to look through I can't find the source of this miraculous succession (I definitely don't complain about it though).

If CK1 does have it or something like it forgive me, I only just found the "lists/ledger" screen about 4 days ago. (if it does can you tell me where to find it :wacko: )

In CK1, you can only go back along the line from ancestor to ancestor. It was a feature of EU Rome to a limited degree, but I also hope it is a feature of CK2.

Doomdark said he can't (won't) confirm or deny the presence or absence of any gameplay feature heretofore referred to as a "family tree" in CK2.

(CK1 doesn't have a family tree. I once tried to use commercial genealogy software to track my Trencavel dynasty game, but their hideous level of inbreeding actually caused the program to crash. Noice.)

I used to do quite a bit of genealogy, so I understand the products out there for family history. I have said before on other threads that it would be nice to be able to export the CK2 save file to GEDCOM (the standard cross-platform file format among genealogists). How did you accomplish it, or did you enter information in directly?

There are is a CK1 mod out there that exports it to a GEDCOM file, IIRC. I think the best family tree type of deal is Dynastic Glory.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

That would be this one .... it is actually pretty good.

This looks really cool. I hope that someone develops something similar for CK2.

Would make a nice, *free* DLC, wouldn't it?

I use that, and downloaded one of the GenoPro betas and it is pretty good - although a nightmare once your dynasty starts the inbreeding!
