Marriage within your own faction

from Elemental Forums

Is there a way to keep your dynasty within your own faction, instead of giving daughters away and/or asking around if some random sovereign happens to have an unmarried daughter?

I mean, by the time you have children there are tons of hired adventurers, advisors, researchers and merchants, so I wouldn't have to spare my opponents because of their children. And before someone says 'but royalty should stay within royal bounds' -> 1) As Sovereign you marry some random guy/girl and make him/her your king/queen and 2) some of those random people are royals themselves.

So, is there a way? I would especially love to keep my dynasty alive while at the same time being able to have my daughters under my direct command. ;)

Sadly it's not possible right now, you can only arrange marriges through diplomacy.

You can however marry your children to a neutral NPC faction, which is nice if you have only daughters.

The problem there is that you have to give capable channelers to another faction, where they usually spend their remaining time doing nothing.

But thanks for the answer, maybe I can arrange it with a mod that all the marriages are belong to me... :grin:

HMMMM blue blood!   I love it when cousins marry to keep the low lives that live outside the family from touching the family jewels.

 

That being said, I'm surprised that is not something that happens more often in Elemental: War of Magic.  Imagine the English if they had to merry outside their kingdom throughout the ages.
