[IDEA] New Sex and Procreation System

[fargoniac]

I have an idea for a new event-based sex and procreation system. The average sex appeal of the couple would be the percent chance for the Sexual intercourse invisible event to happen. When that event fires, the average fertility of the couple would be the chance for the female partner to get pregnant. I think this would allow for a more realistic sex and procreation system and open the gateway for new flavour events.

While George R.R. Martin has taught us that explicit sex greatly improves courtly intrigue, I am not too sure how to imagine this. I find the idea intriguing, but am not too sure how this could be made into an interesting gameplay or flavor addition...

If the sex events are invisible...how will this be perceptibly different on the player's end from the current system?

You know when you played too much CK2 when...

 

[fargoniac]

It would add realism at the expense of a little lag.

 

[Hackworthy]

I think I would characterize such a mechanic as HIGHLY superfluous.

How would you determine attractiveness?

Sorry, meant sex appeal.

I wanna know which of the Paradox staff'd have to write the steamy scenes. ^^

 

[fargoniac]

Traits would modify it. i.e Celibate would give -10000 sex appeal.

Guys, I don't want this event firing every single day.
Imagine two lustful hedonistic 16 year olds blundering through acne and adolescence.
This event chain would literally fire every single day.
So I say no.

i was under the impression that the fertility modifier combined with the opinion of both spouses is what the game currently uses to cause pregnancy. Is then opinion not a factor in the current system? Yet still if this proposed system was intergrated would i still be able to have my 95% fertility duke (105% after he's no longer wounded and depressed) still be able to have 12 kids with one wife reliably?

 

[fargoniac]

No, it would only have a chance to fire as much as EVENT_PROCESS_OFFSET in defines.lua is set.

Sex appeal =/= opinion.

 

[JerikTelorian]

This fails to account for the fact that largely, the woman didn't have much say in when sex happened. If the king wants sex, he's gonna get sex, regardless of attraction. "Lie back and think of England" and all that.

Note that there is even a special modifier (Lover) for people/couples that actually are attracted to one another.

Mainstream media would throw a fit. Remember how overblown the Mass Effect romance thing was? Imagine all the headlines:

"Swedish Company Develops Medieval Sex Simulator"

But apart from that, it sounds interesting.

That's true. Sex was more of a political device back then. Love rarely entered into the equation.

 

[fargoniac]

But...It would be realistic and would work well with my Istari Mod.

 

[Puritan]

Yeah, Like I need more fluff events firing when I'm concentrating on wiping out the Islamic Hoards (or Christian, or Pagan, or Aztec-whatvers.)

 

[Summercat]

Get to me when you can make the congenital traits work properly.

/I want my Dutch Supermen dynasty, damnit!

Maybe we could have a minigame and the results of that would determine the likelihood of the women becoming pregnant? Poor scores would have a higher chance to reduce the opinion of the partner as well. I see a new DLC coming...

We could call it "Mulled Wine"
