not enough women...too many men

[veji2]

I love this game so far, but among the little things that need tweaking, there is the progressive lack of women. Indeed, they often die when giving birth, which I find normal.

The problem is more in the men category, if they survive childhood, they don't die often from illness ( but that is normal too, it happens as often as for women ).

The real thing is that they should die in battle more often. I have never lost any courtier nor king in battle, while at that time the saying was that :

"women die from pregnancy and delivery, men die from war." So for 1.02, I Think there should be more deaths in battle.

I mean I can't wait to have my young and valiant king die while crushing an insignificant count rebellion, leaving a 3 years old little cousin on the throne...

With the godlike stats of 1 2 2 1.

But seriously, I too would like to see something like this in the next patch, I don't mean it should be guaranteed that a king, duke, whatever dies in some rebellion in the middle of nowhere.But it would be nice to have it happen more often than it currently does.It would certainly make you think twice about sending your only heir into battle.

Its certainly annoying when you're 2 years into the game as the Duke of Munster, sieging your "rebel" vassal in order to give your son land in this "might is right" inheritance system, only to find yourself killed by a flying arrow or somesuch (don't know how, precisely, bloody game surrendered me before I got a chance to read...).

Maybe which should tweak the birth system so has to have 45% of boys and 55% of girls...

That, I can tweak easily If people get unhappy about dying too often, I will lead them to your post, OK :rofl:

Yeah, I second that. I'd like to see characters die in battle. I've had a few big battles with Turks as Byzantium, which have pitted my monarch against theirs...and the fact that neither of us can die from a personal showdown is a bit disappointing. Also, there has to be a way to get rid of not-quite-up-to-par successors without simply assassinating them

I think the root of the imbalance is the "cloned cousin" thing, its always male.

 

[Araanor]

I vote for genocide of the cousins.

Cousins...

I don't mind the game giving you 4 "cousins" in your court at the beginning of the game to help you out, but if your court has more then 4 people, they shouldn't be coming, also all members of your court should be of age... i think I had some 5/6 year old cousins who were worthless to me in my court and i had no one to help me out in my court except for 1 and naturally his mighty 1 to stwardship made me roll in the gold... I think the very young cousins were while a Luxemburg game...

While we don't condone genocide here you'd be happy to know that we're working on toning down the country cousins for 1.02

Yes, that's the prolem; my normal characters (which came from bed, not from nowhere like the cousins) are more often women.

Something noone seems to have mentioned is the fact that its further imbalanced by the absence of bastardettes...

And beeing married to a corpse (Not much happening there even with "lustfull" trait)

If you're married to a corpse, then obviously you have mourning to long. Get out there and find a new wife. Yes, it's a distraction from ruling, but no one else is going to do it for you.
