[Suggestion][Gameplay] Allow choice to have children

from Elemental Forums

Would be nice if we had a button that allowed us to choose when to start having children. 

 

Also seems weird the wife is in the town and the sovereign is 100 miles away fighting monsters yet we are still making babies?

This sparked a crazy idea.  What if your children were uncontrollable and did unexpected things?  Your son risks getting himself killed fighting monsters, or your daughter experiments with lesbianism.  You can try to control them, but they might hate you for it.

I just got Beta 3 the other day, so I haven't gone much beyond the first few turns yet--not sure how children work as of now.  The Guild had a pretty cool system.  Also, an old Sega Genesis RPG, Phantasy Star 3.  It would be cool if you could completely lose control of your children, such that they become anonymous townspeople, soldiers in your army, or even rival sovereigns; but at the same time you could take control of your chosen heir when you retire (or die), inheriting his/her both random and gameplay-driven generated history for roleplay value.

Sorry but your ideas are not good. You control your children as if they were a hero character or your sovereign. Having uncontrollable children would be retarded because I can guarantee they will all most likely die from stupidity. And why did you bring lesbianism into it? That is by far the most retarded aspect of your idea.

You've obviously never played a Total War game :) *wink*

While I also don't want that idea to be put into the game, there is certainly more creativity in otakucore2's idea than in BlackRainZ's boring criticism.

Yeah there is so much creativity in saying, "Hey let's have children do things like become lesbian." A whole lot of creativity there. Please. My post also wasn't entirely being critical, I was also explaining that children are controlled like heroes so I was answering a question. There is really zero point in suggesting things which are so far out there that there is no way they would be implemented.

Maybe at certain ages the child could ask mommy or daddy how to make babies! Just kidding but a prince and princess quest trigger would be cool.

And while on this subject, how did my Queen give birth at age 3 ?
