Custom Wife?
-Could there be a tool for a custom wife finder?

**it may be a bit less realism.. but..
-finding a wife thats equal or younger than you is hard early in the game.
-and well if you want one that is not older, AND has the temperament, dress and haircolour you like, is even more rare..
***
lets say my earlier "allow us to flirt with 15yo" posts, was made cause well indeed a nice fiery redhead, fits better to my character, than those dull "I like to farm" or "I like to drink" types who seem to be the only 2 varieties available..

Am I the only one that doesn't have literally any women to romance with? There is no women at the campfires and every woman walking around the village is apparently married, there's just 2 random dudes chilling out at the campfire now.

there are villagers at campfires... minimum 2 of them each city (some city's have 3)
-> these villagers are different from the normal village npc (and once you have the skill for it by using detect mode, can be differentiated by the symbols above their heads.

-> they will normally regenerate each season.. but if you have talked to them.. they will stubbornly remain until you hire them (and fire them directly if you so want to)

and yes all the nice looking ones (with the 1 braid, ginger haired.. or brown haired) sadly ALL apear to be normal NPC.. not the "wanderers" you can invite or marry.

hmmn didn't know about the hire fire thing but it seems mean lol.

Anyone know the one (personality type) that likes to dye the neighbors chickens green?

she seems cool though the skin on mine is ugly one to me, but she had good stats for beginning game and sorta fun. so best for heirs and work. thought she might be the party girl? so far till year 9 shes always affectionate running 100% but 81 mood. i didn't get the empathy skill, so i am not positive which personality.

i do not like the idea of you being able to change the women in the game...other than offering cloths and accessories that they may or may not wear up to them. unless she can change you too lol. just have better skins and more looks/types in game. then do as now pick best one for your reasons.

If not would seem too much like dress up doll play, vs immersive real-ish NPC.

I could only go for mild character altering if its YOU, preferably fitting into what I think they are portraying future Bohemia or Poland region...unless they make provision for far away land exotic say from tartars or something or just want to make it more inclusive. peasants probably where just generally brown eyed brown hair probably dark skin from being out in sun and dirty as people didn't take baths lol.

I flirted with everyone i could to try get diplomatic skill, then i stopped since everyone was at 95% affection and i felt like a cad lol since i didn't want to marry em, due to stats.

now i have opposite problem hard to find good males since got so many women around camp fires lol. my village i am pretty balanced m/f not sure what latest age to marry them off but i see em get to mid 30's i figure better shack em up so they can have kids. i try to wait till they get skills up and marriage seems to improves their mood.

you can marry any girl thats +/- 10 years old.
(since you start at 18.. that means... any girl upto 28yo.. but 29yo and older is too old.)
-> each year the game progresses for the first 10 years this is only pushed up...
so at 28yo.. you can still marry the 18yo ones, but now also the 38yo ones, only 39yo and up is offlimit.

for other villagers.. this limit is double... so an 38yo can marry all the way from 18 to 58...
-> however.. to couple them up... you must put a male and a female who differ less than 20 years in the same house. (coupling up adds +10% mood, and that in effect means all production +2%
-> the closer they are to eachother in age the faster this coupling up happens... so picking two that differ 19 or 20 years.. and it might be a while before they couple.

and I ask not to ALTER.. but to basicly hire a matchmaker.
**I tell the matchmaker lady :
wanted :
character : romantic
age : 15-18
haircolour : red
eyecolor : green
***
add than the ability to chance her hairdo to any of the ingame styles (I prefer the single braid over one shoulder type)
-> do not care for skills any will do

the matchmaker than would charge me a sum (the harder the request the more coin and the longer the time)
(time could be set as a % chance the matchmaker find a result per day.. with this % slowly increasing)

say day 1 its 0.1%, day 2 its 0.2%, day 3 it's 0.3%.
if VERY unlucky it can take all the way upto day 1000 to for sure get a hit matching my criteria.. but it can (though very unlikely) also happen on day 1, more likely it happens somewhere around day 37 (thats the point where its only 49% likely that it still has not fired, so 51% likely it did)

matchmaker matchmaker find me a match;)
-historicly accurate;)
-> matchmakers did excist in medieval times.
-> it was a profession, and they did travel, unlike most in medieval times (like we never leave our valley)

**as for being allowed to search UNDER 18...
-> while I stay to my point that it should and could be added...

(short reasons :
**in medieval time ideal age for girls to marry was seen as 17 (average being 21)
**even today in most european nations marriage can be done at 16 with parents consent.. and thats only due changes in the last 2-3 decades, in the 90s... in most european nations it was 14 with parents consent.
**the age of sexual consent in most european nations is also 16.
**if the partner is 20 years older or less.. that age for sexual consent is 12.
**if both partners differ less than 2 years, there is no minimum age for sexual consent.
**there is a moral rule that fits western culture (small age difference relationships) since middle ages.. :
partners age must be your age /2+7.
***so an 18yo.. could date an 9+7 = 16yo or an 22yo and nobody would lift an eyebrow. but 15yo or 23yo would be seen as morally wrong, legal or not.

But even to the public it could be done clean.
-the dev could lower the minimum age wandering npc for hire show up as teen..
**these teen could be blocked from being put in the same house as somebody from another gender (but could be placed in a house with a couple (adoption)
or 1 adult of same gender.. (foster care)
-> this would give the player an early source of teens to fill aprentice slots.

the player could still not marry these teens till they turn 18.. but he could already keep them in his village..

aditionally the dev could allow flirting/gifting to teens..
(perhaps with a cleaned up line)
-> but still block the proposal option till they turn 18... so you could make it so that the day she turn 18.. you propose... as she is already woowed.

-> I personally would just change the age boundries to
own age/2 +7
and allow marriage of teens,
16yo could marry 16-18
17yo could marry 16-20
18yo could marry 16-22
19yo could marry 17-24
20yo coulld marry 17-26
21yo would need to have 18yo-28yo
-> this solves 4 things.
1 we can marry teens, in a clean way.. without TOO old pervs doing so..
2 age range at young ages is decreased, no more 38yo picking up an 18yo. nor 28yo picking up 18yo.
3 age range at old ages is increased UPWARD a 50yo can couple a 32-86yo
4 no more need to have a difference in max age range between racimir and the other villagers.


perhaps even have sometimes events where one of your teens in your village is knocked up.. by
wandering man / man in your village
-prequestits for this event to happen
**must have unmarried teen female in your village
....
**if unmarried man, within her age range excists.. he = father.
-> you have 2 options :
***ban them both from the valley -20 mood for their parents (can be 4 if both teens were born in your town), +5 mood for all other villagers, due being Strict will last till last parent is no longer in your town
***shotgun marriage (-50 mood for both permanently, but +10 mood for all other villagers, due you an honorable leader, both effects will end if one or both of the couple ever leave your town.
***excecution! purge the sin! -50 for their parents, -5 mood all other villagers currently alive but gain instant 10000 reputation, due being Zeolot leader
effect is tied to vilagers, currently in your town, any born or invited into your town after this date have no effect on them.
***let things be -> move her to her own house, where she and her child will live without husbands.. -> as long as she and/or the child are alive, all villagers -10 mood due you being a GODLESS leader

If a wandering stranger (a circus visited our town a couple months ago and left one of our teenage girls a "present"
-> send her to a nunnery -> the baby is send back her parents the village left unknowing, thinking it her mothers child. You are known as Understanding Leader.
no effect on mood.
-> hire a man, to hunt the circus down., and drag him to your town -> -1000 coin to pay the headhunter. he joins your village...coupled to this teenage girl.
permanent effects : -100 mood to him, +50 mood to her +20 mood to her parent(s)
+5 mood to all villagers. You are known as "Chivaldrous Leader"
BURN THE WITCH! -> she is publicly excecuted -50 for her parents, -5 mood all other villagers, again Zeolot leader, will last for all adults that stood witness,
KILL THE RAPIST -> you invite the circus back to your town, but upon them returning, thinking they will earn payment, you imediatly send your guards to detain them. Your town you tell the lie that she was raped by this circus lowlife.. and that he shall be hanged, but that her hits no blame.
You are a SCEMING leader.
She will remain with her parents till the child is born, than she'll move out.
-100 mood to her (as she loved the man, and not only did you kill him, you dragged his name trough the mud with a lie.
+20 mood to her parents : they are gratefull you have saved her reputation.
+10 mood to all your villagers as they believe truelly you defended her honour.
wiill last until both her and her child are no longer in your city.

dev never would do such a thing I guess.. but I'd like a bit of flavour like that;)

I'm pretty sure grooming of underaged npc's and teenage pregnancies (even if only an event) are not going to happen either.
Other than add a bit of RP and flavour they wouldn't contribute to the gameplay either.

I would much prefer some events that challenge the economic balance of your village and workers.
Like maybe some illness/plague that goes around that has a chance to kill them if not cured, and leaves you with the tough choice of somehow isolating or expelling the infected person to prevent the rest of your village getting it too, or risking to let them stay and gamble on having a cure in time before people die off.

Or an event where bandits kidnap one or two of your people, and unless paid a very high ransom (doesn't have to be gold, could be goods too), or bandits found and killed, you'd never see them again.

Hunting accidents for your hunters, leaving them temporarily unable to work til their wounds heal.

It would spice things up for sure. But they would need to do some work on the deaths of villagers first. You should at least get a notification when someone dies, and preferably a place where you can see a list of dates of birth and death of your villagers.

Yep, that's the one that likes to have fun (by which she mostly means drinking it seems xD). The official name for it I think is 'free spirit'. I have that one for my Racimir too!

Pity she never goes through with her plan. Would be funny to wake up one morning to be greeted by a bunch of green chickens. :-)

Yep. Annoying voice is a no go for me. I mean there isn't much to complain about for the looks but I definitely draw the line at an annoying voice.

if she sounds like "the nanny" well sure she'll get a pass;)

Wow crazy deep dive there man. lol Sure arranged marriages by parents and all that no conjugation till 12 i think generally.

Anyway don't need any of that in this game lol.

Adds nothing to it.

I guess they could do a doll dress up mode for people that might want that.

I prefer they more organic system they have. You marry whats available to you in your village, and in medieval central/eastern europe most likely a brown haired, brown eyes covered in grime.

The age of the NPC, the game displays is not pertinent to your stated goal...you want more females (skins really) available to you apparently, and must have certain look. seems boring to me.

They could make a slider/toggle I guess or as the mechanic is already in the game, you just do the hire fire thing to rotate more NPC through.


For me the ten year window is fine, you start 18 to 28 and go up. lol kinda like real life.

IF they did nothing else, I am more interested in them ADDING to the VOICE and TEXT library and adding MORE FAMILY and all NPC INTERACTION.

I quite enjoy the very basic wife mechanics now and hope they add to it as well as all the NPC. I mean you can not even sit and talk at the table or play games or anything...that needs work, KCD has that ability.

Of course if i can find NPC with great stats, attractive skin, great personality (whatever type, should be written interesting like a hilarious snob or fun free spirit), good age and good voice that would be great.


Actually i do that for all my villagers as i prefer no downers in town lol.

As in real life, an attractive personality makes a person attractive.
