Marrying off your children

I haven’t done this yet, but I thought I’d ask what happens. If you have a daughter, do you loose her or can you still control? If you have a son do you gain a daughter hero to control?

What happens in the long term, do the two empires/kingdoms merge after a certain amount of time?

If you have a daughter she will join her husbands faction instead. And of course you gain a champion if your son marries, grandchildren may sometimes join their mothers faction as well.

Haven't had it happen myself but I believe it's been posted by one of the developers that if the sovereign dies with an heir they take over and it was possible to inherit factions this way through intermarriage.

In the manual, it states that marriage - given certain conditions (Basically, the same guy or gal is heir to both nations) - you can inherit control of both.

Also, when someone is married off to another faction (champion is lost) the children of that union, when they grow to adulthood, are most likely to join you.

But that's in the manual. (It's in the game folder). It may have been changed in a patch sometime or not implemented yet.

I've had it happen in games where I've had four daughters. I married two of them off, and some of the grandchildren came back to join my faction. Not only that, but they were sons of that union too, so when I married them to other women, I kept control of the sons and had new 'daughters' to control as well. I beat the game before their children grew up, so I don't know if it would have reversed again, but marrying off your daughters is not quite as bad as you would think.
