Do I still need to convince a woman to marry me BEFORE she comes to the village?!
Because that's seriously STUPID. I brought a woman to my village and gave her a house (by herself), and I've been chatting her up every day. But nothing seems to gain any affection, and that doesn't show up in any stats I can access.

I can't emphasize enough how much I HATE this. :steamfacepalm: We should be getting to know each other over several seasons, before I pop the question - not expecting her to marry me after a few chats, when I breeze through town.

you never needed to convince them to join your village...

lol you just needed to increase their trust in you, which you had to do with guys even.

but no you dont need to anymore you just need a certain amount of dynasty points. also if you dont flirt with them at the camp site and just invite them you can't see the affection meter because it becomes replaced with happiness or whatever its called "mood".

I agree that it is unsettling to no longer see the sum of affection once the woman moved to your village. I had trouble with this also. However, if you continue to flirt with her, you see after each conversation on the top left of your screen if affection went up or not. And when you have 100 percent, exactly in the same place you get notified. That's the moment to ask her THE question. I just did it today and it works.

Yes, I remember how complicated it was before. I kind of prefer it now, as far as inviting people to your village goes. I mean, what other options do they have? Nobody is inviting them to join the villages they're wandering to. They might as well give mine a shot.

But convincing a woman to marry you in one or two conversations is just dumb.

That's good to know. Thanks.

it takes a lot longer to marry a woman than it used too, also they have gifts and stuff now that supposed to give you points equal to previous conversations, before i could get +15 or whatever now the highest I've seen is +7.

Getting a wife in v1.0 is patterned after 21st-century thinking. Back in the middle ages, a man just took a woman, or at best, paid her dad 15 cabbages, two goats, a quiver full of arrows, and a bucket of brew to seal the deal. ;)

I don't think they just "took a woman," though the latter is definitely true. But I doubt there would be this many women roaming the countryside in the middle ages. Most would stay home. Leaving the village you were born in was very uncommon back then.

honestly the second part is not entirely accurate yes they did that barter, however the man also had to be in a position he could prove he could support her. Basically the father had to know what the guy did for work before deciding if it was acceptable

The point being that it was the father making the call on whether his daughter married the dude, not her. Women could be married off to men they had never met, and they didn't even always have the right to refuse a match their family had made. Whereas in modern days, it doesn't matter how much her dad likes you if the lady isn't interested.
