William Wallace, a Norse Prince

[Grifos]

I am currently playing Brittania Campaign as Norway and i managed to get Wallace to be my faction heir... I just wanted to share this...

I didn't have a princess while he was on the Scottish side, so i can't really answer you. I tried after he joined my family tree with a 1st cousin, but i was shown the "No potential suitors in this army" message. Either, the game prohibits first cousins to be married (i believe that's a thing), or it just doesn't give you the option like with the Rebel generals or because he is a "special" character.

It's certainly interesting. Well done.

After i eliminated Scotland, he remained a rebel. I fought his stack until only his unit remained and then bribed him with a 3 lvl diplomat. The cost was around 9000 and he accepted.

Thats odd. Normally rebels would be destroyed when they lose a battle, or did you retreat after wiping his army?

Yes, you are right, always retreat in these cases. Doesn't worth the risk of the rebel general dying.

When Wallace entered the family tree, there were 3 family members, not including him. The current King, an adoptive son of his (heir) and an adoptive brother of the King, who adopted Wallace. Then i killed the adoptive son (heir) of the King and Wallace became heir. There was only the option for Wallace's stepfather to become heir but he was older than the King. If that's making any sense...

Lol...thanks for detailing it.

I have never thought of that. Reducing the stack but keeping the general for bribery. It opens a new possibility. Really good stuff.

The princesses show their custom picture on the family tree and they are only the daughters of the king and I think the prince*, Although I'm not sure about the prince.

Edit. It's brilliant really. Usually a full stack would cost a lot, but keeping the general only would dramatically decrease the cost. Specially good ones like Wallace.

It also spares your princess (if you have one) from a failed attempt. So you can bribe until they accept and then marry with 100% chance, securing his sucession.

I find princesses really hard or borderline impossible to build up and they usually just lose charm over time. So a marriage proposal to a foreign general more often than not fails.

Princesses keep their portrait in the family tree.

PS: I agree with everything else you said and many thanks for your kind words!

The weird thing is that all his children have different last names... Anyone ever noticed that in an other occasion?

Lol yes...Med 2 naming conventions:

Father: "Harold Magnuson"

Son 1: "Philippe Ortega"

Son 2: "Heinreich the Fart Sack"

[Red Spot]

Father: Harold the mad
Son: Philippe the mad

Seems quite in order to me ..... :D
