Wives - General Qs

[SteveTheMad]

Just taking a break for Food, etc and wondered ...

Can you have more than One?

If you Divorce one, Can you remarry if you wnat her again?

How many children are there per wife? more than 4 and can you swap the babies around, so get the 4 bonus you wanted?

I don't know specific answers to those questions, but I get the impression from the way the game works with other things that once you divorce a wife she's gone for good (along with her bonuses and babies and their bonuses).

The babies seem stuck in the slots, doesn't appear you can move them around.
What bugs me a little is you can't tell ahead of time what bonuses the babies may bring, and once one of them fills a slot the slot is gone forever so even if the bonus is something you really can't use, you lose the use of the slot.

Also, I wish there was a guide as to what bonuses the wives (and the babies) will bring.
Right now, all you can do is divorce a current wife (and babies) and try another wife and just see what she brings with her and hope for the best.

I've been using Feona (the frog princess) for her Intellect bonus which helps my Fighter . With her Intellect bonus he's actually got more magic attack than physical attack, go figure.

Still using Feonara Myself ... as Mage. Sadly yes seems to be no way to re-marry them. Should of been able to have all the children and swap them in and out depending on the stats you wanted (seems the children you will receive are set at the begining of the game) and the re-marry option as you have no idea what she and your children you have her bring to the party.

Below is a link to The Spouses and Children (though does not state children stats).

Excellent..! Thanks for the link..!

I was going to try the "Save and try it, and reload if it's not all that great" method of checking out the various wives, but this will save a lot of time.

It actually looks like Feonara might be the best overall choice because her bonus is useful no matter what area you're in or what troops you may have.

Too bad about the babies, if you get a random mix of four from all those available choices a listing with all their bonuses wouldn't help much since you don't know which ones will appear during your game.

- Can you have more than One?
Depends on what state you live in I think.

- If you Divorce one, Can you remarry if you wnat her again?
Sure, I don't see why not.

- How many children are there per wife? more than 4 and can you swap the babies around, so get the 4 bonus you wanted?
Heh, just like a gamer to think of kids in terms of possible bonuses that they would provide.. IMHO there is no benefit to having a lot of kids.. and certainly more than 4 would get crazy. huge burden to care for, for sure.

Oh.. disregard the last post.. a friend linked this thread to me in IM as an 'odd discussion topic'.. I just read the OP and didn't check the category it was in.. didn't realize this was about kids and marriage in king's bounty! I just assumed it was a general discussion thread about RL :)

don't mind me.. I'm just here to make a fool of myself.
