All that Coming of Age Pop ups... Why?

[ThorThundergod23]

I don't care if some second distsant cousin is 16 now.
All i can do is click on marry a noble. There are no options for the player, so why even make this mechanic?

And it never stops. This needs to be fixed.

you can customize mesasages, pop ups and what not. What you really complaining here?

The game having a character management system without any options to manage a character. No choices present, just marry and done. What sense does that make?

Well game dosent know who would end up as your ruler so it simulates them all. You can use them for cabinates (thats good for your crown power) and royal marragies. Just disable pop up messaging when they come of age and thats it you dont even need to know they exist

Unmarried cousins are a valuable resource.

You get the bonuses of a royal marriage without any risk involved in marrying out someone in the direct line of succession.

And if you can actually put your dynasty on the throne of somewhere else, thats even better.

But they won't marry on their own. So the dynasties die without me doing those clicks?

Yes, it's an underbaked mechanic that they'll fix with a DLC after some years.

So it's good to know you're doing it for a reason then You're literally KEEPING THEM ALIVE with your actions. Vital!

In the corner of the popup there should be a button, unselect the unwanted options.

Yeah, it is a stupid endeavor that needs to be fixed ASAP. You should marry your crown courtiers so you can get more of them. More of them means more possible advisors of the crown estate, with good stats = more crown power = more bonuses. But if you keep doing it, you end up clicking a simulator that lags the game. In around the year 1500, I got 1300 crown courtiers. To keep marrying them, I needed to spend 10-15 minutes clicking through them each 5-10 game years. With each passing decade, their numbers double at least. You can imagine what you end up with at the end of the game. Unmanageable blob of data that ends up lagging the game, and your "education alert" on top of the screen freezes the game for a few minutes if you hover over it.

Sadly, this game is still in alpha state and needs a lot of work and fixes. Also, sad fact is that Paradox uses paying customers as free testers, and half of future fixes will be hidden behind paid DLCs.

I think there's a mod that marries the automatically.

[Kimlin]

I just sort by ability and marry whoever to whoever is on top of the list. It can be annoying but it’s quick.

[ThorThundergod23]

The only useful characters are those belonging to the crown estate. Only those increase crown power when you use them for Cabinet positions or as generals/admirals.
Everybody else lowers crown power and thus your tax base and is therefore a net loss.

So, if you actually play the game for a hundred years+ and pay attention you will end up with dozens of useless characters. No matter how good their stats are.
Your second cousin or your distant relative are useless. Those messages are just spam.

The best solution would be an option to only receive those messages for close relatives.

Back in the game with 1.4, has this been fixed? If I don't marry them off myself do they marry in the background - thinking about increased potentially valuable children

I personally find the entire character management thing unnecessary for Europa Universalis, that's the kind of thing that I play Crusader Kings for. But I agree that if they are going to keep it, it needs to be made more interesting.
