I am wondering what needs to be done to get your kids to have kids... Once i have arranged a marriage for them do I need to complete the same process with them that I used to have the kids?

IE. Invite my Son to the party then his new wife and sit in a settlement until they have gotten pregnant? Is there no way to do this outside of micromanaging them?

You can leave them both in a town. When they are in your party, enter a town. Go to the keep if they are nobles. Top right there is a "plus' sign, click it and you can pick party members to leave there.

Then go about your business, it is up to RNG from there on.

Get the lads married early to some nubile young maiden so the begetting can begin.

I would argue the problem is infantilizing children to avoid dealing with conflict and self reflection is the bigger problem as they grow up to be kids for the rest of their life.

but in game, just marry them to someone , and I assume the same spawning rules apply as to the player. Pay attention to character age as the years can go by fast in game , marrying your 40 year old heir to a 50 year old woman who last weekend was 25 wont make too many children :)

Was coming to ask a similar question to the poster but this answered my question and came with some useful info about the plus sign. Thank you !

Make one a governor and leave the other in the same settlement.

for your boy to get his girl preggo, leave them in the same city together, or have both in your party and just wait in a town if you move around and not rest for days at a time they'll never get preggo

How do you choose that your heir will be able to marry someone young enough to actually have children?

I read someone else in another thread mention the "Arranged Marriages" mod but with the 1.10 update it crashes on start up. Anyone else using this mod?

Talk to them?

check their age in the encyclopedia (Just click their name if you talk to them) you can even browse people without having to talk to them in the encyclopedia. It shows their age, if theyre married , race , faction, skill sets, and other stuff.

also you should get marriage offers, you can look up the name of the person before you click on the offer icon. For what ever reason the encyclopedia hasnt opened for me after the icon, until closing the window again

In the newest version, the beta, you cannot see any info in encyclopedia unless you have actually met the person.. Neither lord/lady nor wanderer info will show, not even age. It is a bad decision in my opinion.

I agree. Who asked for that?

People with a 'more realism in games fetish', i guess. ;)

Yes, and I love this feature! However, it isn't EXACTLY a matter of meeting them it seems. Example: I got a marriage proposal from "Presciana" for my little brother. I wanted to make sure she was not in her 80s so I looked up her last location and went there. Saneopa IIRC. She was not there when I bribed my way into the keep. But some of her clan folk were. An older lady specifically (whose name eludes me at the moment) and a mercenary "Jaim." Those were the only folks from that clan which I met. I went and played some Tablut, won the tournament, did some Smithing and set my party to wait for awhile in the town. It was at this point that I looked up Presciana again, and there was her info pane: age 29. Too old for my little brother. We need someone in their late teens for him.

it is a terrible decision. for many reasons.

I agree. This needs to be fixed asap.. it makes so much of the "strategy" not strategic.. and instead "walk", and "RNG".

For a strategy game, there sure seems to be more and more and more walking involved in many things that are "strategic".

It appears to me to be nothing more than yet another attempt to slow down the game. I've never been to England. But I know Queen Elizabeth was a female. I can see here kids, cousins, husband etc. I can even see what her charities she favored and favorite animals were... All without ever having been ON THE CONTINENT.

I find it hard to believe that people who live 1-2 towns over from a different town.. have NEVER heard anything about the local lord or ruler? never? no one came to a tavern, or Inn, or local festival and said "wow that caldog dude.. he sure is cool" etc..

And that "info" translates in game terms to "stats" and "relationships".

It seems fakey, and arbitrary to me. Just my 2 cents

[Davakar]

I have played a few hours on the new patch and I can say the 'fog of war' that has been placed on the characters is more of a annoyance than anything I don't see the point in it.

Children of other lords younger than 18 I suppose can't be 'discovered' right now as when you look them up they have 'never been seen...' anywhere, so you can see their age.. how long until they will come of age or anything because they aren't technically in the world yet.

But if you're trying to discover others throughout the world I have seen that you don't actually have to go into the Keep itself in the Towns, you just have to enter that sub menu and don't have to load into the scene over and over again. You will see a notification in the bottom left that says "You discovered _________."

So all this has made trying to figure out the ways to marry off my heirs (5 Boys) more difficult in so many ways.
