Maybe your husband was shooting blanks, or you were just having some terrible luck in the probability.Īs i compiled most of the tweaks i've made to my CKII experience i realized most are in line of allowing female characters to simply do more.

+40% to fertility from lustful/hedonist is insane. Still, if you were a young character you should have been getting pregnant like crazy. It can cause some really troublesome succession situations. If you are a female ruler and are suffering a number of bad luck rolls most of your reign, you can easily hit age 45 with very few or no children. Not only that but if your personal court has over 30 characters in it already, base fertility rates also suffer a penalty. It's still possible to get pregnant after that but your odds are so small its negligible. Once a female character hits 45 her fertility drops like a ROCK. Paradox games in a nutshell, I tell ya.Īs far as I know difficulty does not at all affect fertility, but female rulers are by their nature a lot harder to get children than if you were playing a male. I spent 5 bucks to play how I wanted to play, and now the game is telling me that I cant play how I wanted to play.

High intrigue? Good luck trying to get money needed to utilize said intrigue. Want to be powerful? You are going to be old enough to not enjoy the designed ruler. Want to play a young character? You need to take gimpy traits. No children to start out with? Good luck getting children in the game (even on Very Easy, Lustful, Hedonist). The ruler designer is one of the most worthless things I've seen, next to Oblivion's horse armor. The majority of northern Iberia is now mine.ĭefinitely more fun now that I'm not playing as a female ruler of Ireland.Īfter watching quill18's playthrough of CK2 using Castille 1066, I finally decided to buy it. Seeing a good distraction, I pressed all claims, and won the war. The Kingdom of Leon eliminated Galacia and is now in a war with the Moors. He's not my heir, and the kingdom will go to me if he dies, so I'll need to arrange another "accident" soon. With a bit of luck, the wife had a bad fall down the stairs and broke her neck, leaving my (not yet of-age) son in command of the independent nation. Plotted to murder my wife since she was now Queen of an independent nation with my son as heir. Pressed my wife's claim on Navarra and won the war easily. Added quite a lot to my personal levy too. Imprisoned him, revoked his title, and now my insurrection and money problems are cured. One of my vassals revolted and I had to put him down. She popped out babies the way Bioware pops out excuses.

Started a new game as a male designed ruler of Castille 1066.
