Nobody available for Royal marriges

[unmerged(28128)]

I know I have eligble people here for marrige, because I only just started the game and I get requests from other royal families to marry my women, I have just updated my game to the newest patch so I don't know if that is the cause, the only other differences is that I normally play a very weak country on the easiest difficulty, because I like to build my kingdom from scratch... whereas the game I played tonight I tried out england for a change, so I also increased the difficulty to match , so maybe you can't do as many marriges on this difficulty level?

Anyway, as I was saying.. when I click on a county ANY count whether it's in my kingdom it's a duchy or a foreign kingdom etc.. The "offer marrige" is white and selectable however when I click the button, the next screen that shows all people you can choose to offer a marrige with, is completely blank, nobody for me to select at all... I let the game run for 5 years and tried again but still nobody I can marry , anywhere.

You can only offer people of your dynasty in a marriage. The ones you get proposals for are from other dynasties. When you have noone from your dynasty available you get that blank screen...

Moving to GD...

You can't marry off female courtiers for some reason unless they are your daughters. So even though people ask you if it's ok, you can't offer.

Or at least, that's how it seems to me.

Umm, technically this is a bug - I reported it in the beta. Since the marriage rules changes (you can only do your dynasty), the indicator of whether you can try to do a marriage behaves based on the old rules, not the new ones...

[bad, Havard, bad - interfering with other mods business ]

Thanks for these posts.

I had been wondering why I could not marry off my step-daughter.

Why do paradox always change the rules of the game with every patch? In europa universalis they changed the way war exhaustion worked, and instead of it completely dissapearing it dissapeared gradually.. I really hated the way that works !
And now they changed this? Why can't patches just stick to fixing bugs?
If I want to change the way my game plays that's not a patch but a mod/add in. You expect bugs for the game to be fixed but as far as changing the game is concerned, they could at least make that up to the user, maybe doing a customized install and leaving out game mods?

I think 1.01 marriage rule change is good. There is still much to do with your own family. With 2nd Generation going and I have quite big family and my court is over 20 persons. Handling all marriages of court is busy thing to do. So I'm happy with this rule. But others should marrige by themself, hope this get fixed in next patch.

After playing 70 years with Meath/Ireland, 1.01, I wonder why anyone would want to manage their courtiers marriages. I have 40+ of them, and I think marrying off all those kids my own dynasty produce is work enough, thank you. It's a good change.

I have had as many as 150+ in a court several times (and that is low compared to others). When you have to arrange 10+ marriages a year it becomes a nightmare of micro-management.

I love the rule change - you definitely lose some control and optimization, but, the relief in terms of effort is great! Now, if I only did not have to choose the education of all the children in my court! That would be bliss (and would further reduce optimization, but who cares, since the game goes on for centuries ).

I'd go further and cap the number of family members you decide for. By 1150 almost my entire court have the same surname due to all the cousins migrating in. Schooling them is useful to maintain enough bishops but marrying them is just a pain when there are so few young women around. The only bad side to letting the game do it is that they will make it even harder for you to track down a young lady of good breeding when you need one. I'm longing for a search tool already
