Marry to the ruler

[Andrzej2]

I asked it several times on various occasions but never recieved an answer. So far only diplomatic option regarding marriage is marry to the ruler. On the gameplays we also only saw a situation when player led ruler arranged marriage with female character.

Does it mean that you will only have control over marriages of your ruler? What about his children? I can't imagine not being able to arrange marriages for princes and princesses when playing monarchy. But it was also a very important part of roman politics.

I havent seen something that points towards that so far no. Not only that, but marriages seem to be only with memembers of your country. Now, I dont know how historically accurate is this, but this isnt CK2 or EU4 timeline, I dont know how popular political marriages between countries were.

Regardless, Im sure this will get improved upon in future DLCs, expanding on the family system and its tools, including marriage options.

Of course you need to arrange marriages for your important family members in a monarchy

I hope it gives a loyalty + fro the character they are marrying (+0.05/0.10/0.20, depending on who you marry. Your heir, a doughter, or just a newphew or a grandkid or an aunt or uncle), to make such marriages important.

Would be nice if you could marry your children to foreign ruler's children to boost both countries relations.

I:R just took a step away from EU4 and closer to CK2, GOOD.

The Diadochi and their successors frequently married amongst each other. There was also a marriage alliance between the Mauryans and Seleucids and undoubtedly there were many marriages between the various different tribal nations.

We should be allowed to personally manage marriages of the ruling dynasty/family. Even in republics where the ruler only sticks for a short while.

I am hoping for the vital "family friends" system that was kinda present in EU-Rome. Families who have arranged marriages between each other should have events to make a few of their characters friends over the ages.

Would be very interesting to know why that is the case, from what I have seen from the stream, it look like an family will be happier if they have marriage with the ruler and if not the ruler is married nobody else will get married which seems a bit strange but maybe is so because to allow the player the ability to marry the right family.
