Only Daughters?

[TuxPaladin]

I have played for 200 years and have only had two sons who died in hunting accidents. Other than that it has been ONLY daughters. Is this a bug or am I just insanely unlucky?

[heh]

I dunno man. It might just be that you really notice this when it happens, but I've had this a bunch of times as well. In one run I had like 7 daughters per son for the whole dynasty, and a bunch of those sons died in hunting accidents right as they came into manhood. Heck, one died from influennza or something before even growing up. For a solid three generations, I just barely managed to get a son before my king died, and even then only through rather unstaintly abuse of divorces.

So i ran like a 50 year experiment where i i got each of my sons 4 wives and my dynasty expanded to about 1000 living members, i think about 60% of them are daughters. But i cannot realy count because the game is not designed to handle such large number of same dynasty members because my family tree is completely broken, and me mousing over children in need of better education icon causes the game to freeze for like 10 seconds every time.

But anyway just based on my perception of on new born, it feels like there is a bit more females than males being born on a sample size of about 1000 births. so it is either pure RNG or or another quirky way for paradox game to calculate RNG that leads to bias outcomes.

No hunting accidents for me. Maybe your rivals/enemies are plotting against you/ your dynasty? My anti-espionage is pretty high so I guess it`s harder for my rivals/enemies to kill my dynasty members.

This seem to be an issue still.
The average ratio of sons to daughters is not extremely bad in a very large dynasty but for any actual ruler I play every single time he has about 1 maybe two sons and 4-6 daughters.
If fertility is low 1 son is a miracle, I usually save scam after 2-3 daughters. when the wife is almost out of fertility age so the last one at least can be a boy.
1. king: 4 sons 4 daugthers (here I save scammed because it was a starting dynastic that needed to multiply fast.)
2. king: 1 son, 3 daughters
3. king: 2 sons, 4 daughters
4. king: 1 son,. 2 daughters
5. king: 1 son, 3 daughters.
I cant be this unlucky.

I took 4 wifes, which resulted 3 sons, 11 daughters, my guy had a good life in bedchambers.

RNG gods are telling you to change succession law xD

My sons have nobody to marry. When I try Royal marrige says I can only marry people living in our country. Is this a law? Somethig I can change?

There is one Nobel woman available but she is 48 so can't have children.

This is not looking good for our Kingdom. Will die out. Crown prince is 14 now and soon ready to take a wife, but there are none available for his big brother and I suspect it won't be any better in 2 years. When the crown prince is ready to marry.

[ʀᴀᴛᴘɪᴛꜱꜱ]

i think there should be a hidden chance increase of a male heir with each successive daughter that stacks to like +33% or something, because when i played romuva i had 21 kids and had 3 male heirs

[silent mike]

Yeah I'm getting 80/20 daughters/sons.

Don't worry, if Johan turns the game into a pure idle game in a year, he will make sure that the probability of female births is even higher.

Do you have multiple pu's?there is a malus for external marriage if you have multiple of them so other way is internal marriage but ai characters don't marry so you run out of viable marriage partners if you dont manage characters

[mikemonger]

Yeah it's not usually a big deal unless you actually care about the house running your country. My one guy had like 6 daughters and I lost the Hohenzollerns, which irritated me because you need to go through a process to get them in charge.

I have one, not even loyal. It keeps taking heavy hits on loyalty without me finding out why. Goes up slowly, then when I check again. I have lost like 12 loyalty. Down to 29 now.
I'm pretty useless at this game.
