Hi there! I simply wanted a verification on a little thing that I have been pondering about.

Another nice player here on the forums told me that the Attraction to attractive trait made homosexual people who share your gender like you more. So here's my question. If two people have the homosexual trait can they get the lover event?

I'll see if I can make it happen with the help of the ruler designer and a friend through an online game, but still, I'm curious to hear what you guys have to share here with me!

Thanks

I've yet to see it myself, and havent checked if its possible in the files. The only times I had homosexual lovers was in a mod, and I got pregnant from it... As a dude... And neither I or my lover was homosexual... :wacko:

Oh God I'm crying now! Hahahah! How did you explain that to your wife?!

She felt betrayed, of course, but got her revenge, since I died in child birth along with my man made daughter. T_T

Still a better love story than twilight.

But in all seriousness we must realize that homosexual lovers, or lovers in general, is far too rare in the game.

Yeah the Homosexual trait is pretty useless as it stands - I had a homosexual ruler who went on to have 7 or 8 children with his wife and not have a single event to suggest he was anything other than heterosexual. In contrast, Richard the Lionheart is believed to have been homosexual and he famously had no children. There NEEDS to be a reworking of this...is mechanic the right word? It needs to be reworked, in any case, to make it more interesting and fun to play as a homosexual character.

I am fairly certain I've had the "Lovers" event fire with another homosexual character in vanilla, but to my memory, only once. That aside, I've had some of my wives fall in love with each other many, MANY times when playing as a Muslim ruler.

So there are homosexual female lovers then but not male? Sounds awfully sucpicious....

I always plot to murder homos in my realm when I have no better plots available. We must be moral if we are to leave dark ages behind.

EDIT: not meaning to offend anyone. Just saying I never had a chance to see lovers event for homos.

This thread will probably be locked by the flame war that is about to start from automatics commit but back to topic I remember that a few months ago my king had a affair with a duke in my court, but I dont remember if i had a mod installed.

The only time I ever had a lovers event fire for a homosexual character was playing as Renly in the Game of Thrones mod...

In the vanilla game? Never.

Definitely had it happen in mods. Not sure about vanilla, although I'm fairly sure it can happen.

Homosexual lovers are extremely OP--you get all of the good effects with none of the bad events. Especially with men, because then you can grant your lover land.

Weeeeelll...there is that event for gay, Muslim women to run off and hide from their mutual husband.
I've also heard that if said husband disapproves of their love they might pull a Thelma and Louise

This is actually a good strategy for Muslim rulers, for whatever reason Muslim women seem extremely fertile. Regularly they put out 8 kids, so if you want the prestige of extra wives but have more than enough children: get two lesbians and let them fall in love. More prestigue and fewer children trying to kill you

My King Robert of Sicily (third in his line) had THREE homosexual lovers, complete with events and "loss of love"/"not in love anymore", whatever that event is.
The first was the Duke of Benevento (in his late 20s) when Robert was 22; the second was a random courtier (24 when Robert was 32) who was made Duke of Cyrenaica; the third was the grandson of that Duke of Benevento (19 when Robert was 52!), who was heir to Benevento, Apulia, and Capua [I had a little problem with inadvertently creating superdukes back then].
Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly, I guess), two of Robert's three sons were gay, and that heir to Benevento, Apulia, and Capua caused no shortage of trouble for the only heterosexual man in the family.
