Now not sure how doable or even desirable this would be, but after reading one of Tsaunke's posts (Hope I got your name right) I got to thinking that Our children should be different from our champions.
Right now the Children my sovereign has just feels like champions I didn't have to recruit and it just doesn't feel right. I feel like they need to feel different from Champions, and different in a Lore/System way. I don't know just feels like there needs to be a bit more depth here. LOL yes there is obviously alot of feeling going on in this post.
Mabey a system way would be that children start out with essence.
Unfortuantely I can't quite put my finger on it, but it does feel a little wrong atm. So mabey others could throw up ideas on how to address this if they agree.
Also why we are on the subject. Another thing that doesn't feel right is once you are married how quickly the first 4 come (Though I have never had more than 4), How quickly they grow up, and that once they die they don't seem to replace or go away.
I think they should definitely be spaced more on births.
Mabey take longer to grow up. Though not sure people are going to agree there.
And when they Die the need either a skull or red X or something overlaid on their images in the dynasty tree.
Also when they are born we need to know before naming if we got a Boy or a Girl. Last playthrough guessed wrong 3 out of 4 times and my two girls where named Dor and Khy, while one of my boys was named Tyri.
