Pregnancy

This guide is meant to help players increase their clan size through getting their brothers' and/or sons' wives pregnant

Getting your own wife pregnant

To start off you want to get your own wife pregnant obviously.

This is the easiest process and requires no more than having a wife, preferably young since the older the woman, the less chance per day she will become pregnant. Despite age having an impact, the sheer volume of days waited can overcome this as long as the woman is not over the max age for children.

I do not know what the max age is. If anyone has this information, please comment and I will include it.

Having your wife in your party over time is all you need, but if you want to make the process quicker, get Virile, the 25 point Charm perk, for both yourself and your wife. Pretty easy to get before you are even married.

You can wait around in towns, castles or villages, but it doesn't seem to increase the pregnancy rate for your own wife as long as she remains in your party.

Get her pregnant as much as possible and don't worry about having her fight while pregnant, she is more bad ass than Rand's mother from Wheel of Time while pregnant and will have no debuffs due to pregnancy.

Getting your brother's wife or son's wife pregnant

Unfortunately, only your brothers or sons are eligible to grow your clan, since your sisters or daughters will leave the clan if married off: Lame...

Getting your brothers or sons married is actually easier than it was for you since you don't need all the persuasion involved in your marriage, but you'll need more actual value to the barter, what with them being entirely diplomatic marriages.

One thing to be careful of is that the Clan leader will offer the eldest available daughter for marriage, so make sure you're bartering with someone who only has youngish unwed daughters, to avoid marrying off a 50 year old with your 20 something brother or teen son.

Don't marry off your brothers or sons until you are ready to give them a castle to govern.
You can keep the couple in your party and they may become pregnant over time, but honestly, considering the givens, you're best to just let your brothers and sons age up through caravan duty, passively increasing many of the skills necessary for castle governance through leading trade caravans: when companions, of any type are leading caravans, they count as Quartermaster, Doctor, Scout and Engineer (where applicable, which it isn't much, but oh well) for their party, passively increasing all those skills over time.

Always keep an eye out for rebellious towns, since you can capture a town currently under the rule of rebels without incurring the wrath of any faction. Woot! Free city FTW.

You can conquer a rebel town through mediocre play, or good play if you're a pro like all the other players. Either way, you now have a town settlement. Regardless of how you built your brother or son, but even better if you know where to get all the loyalty buffs: there are five "governor" loyalty perks that increase loyalty by 1 per day:

-Discipline: Bow 150 perk

-Healthy Citizens: Athletics 175 perk

-Parade: Charm 225 perk.
Yes, this works for the governor, it also works for the owner of the settlement, so it stacks to +2 loyalty if both the governor and the owner have it and the owner is currently in the settlement. This is the only one that I have seen have a stacking effect, as it is a personal skill and ownership of any settlement is applied to both the governor and the actual fief lord.

-Heroic Leader: Leadership 75 perk

-Physician of the people: Medicine 200 Perk

This is not relevant to having children, but I think it's important for any player since it allows you to easily take over a non player culture settlement and maintain positive loyalty growth regardless of what you decide to build.

Once a male family member is married to a young woman and you have a castle or town for him to govern, give him the governance. Then go to your clan tab, then fiefs, go to the fief your married brother or son is governing and click on the + sign in members. Give the settlement the Governor's wife as another "hero" and leave her there.

This is much better than having them in your party, since they will be sitting around governing a town, for which you decide the build order and will have as singular job to recruit garrison members. Needless to say that the sole recruitment of troops does not take much of their time and they will be spending most of their time doing whatever codes do to reproduce: you know, adding ones into twos and translating them into zeros and ones, or whatever happens when a program is asked to randomly combine two non random things to "create" a third thing.

Watch the children multiply. I play without mods, so the whole process is long term, but there are mods that increase the speed at which kids age if you don't want to wait years for your "clan army" to age.
The great thing about always giving governorship to either a recently married clan member, or a clan member whom you wish to marry soon is that new clan members become a by product of building up the settlement, so you don't need to think about it much and they do not add to your companion limit, since they are all a direct part of your family and will never leave your clan.

Perfection in all aspects; as close as possible to what it should be.

This supposed to be a guide w/o basic mechanics knowledge? Conceiving a child is only possible when both spouses are spending time in the same settlement.

Ah- Finally! A guide that explains how to get my Son's brother pregnant!

[~GourdieTGTTV~]

One of the issues I've had with keeping a wife with my brother or nephews (haven't had my kids grow up enough to test them) is that even when the wife is told to stay at the castle/town, she won't. She'll wander unless she's the governor herself.
