Concubine Bug
I was able to make Yuan Anyang and Lady Feng concubines but that seemed to be it. The 2 bandits that joined me through event later didn't have a concubine event trigger. I was also able to get Lady Du who doesn't appear to have anyone married to her but no concubine flag was triggered either. Is there a limit to how many concubines one can have? I did have 1 random NPC married to my character prior to Yuan and Lady Feng.

Were you able to resolve this yet? I have similar problem.

I think it is resolved? I played a new Liu Chong campaign and later when encountering Lady Du, I got the concubine prompt so I think its good. Haven't found anything since.

I found that sometimes it can take several turns before the concubine event triggers: for instance, I've had Lady Du since the very first turns, but it took 25 more turns for the dilemma to pop up. I guess it could be a mix of the event not having 100% chances to occur each turn, while also having other event mods (like historically hero transfer ones) that trigger some event almost every turn and thus delaying the concubine one.

BTW, a question: is it supposed to work for *every* unique/legendary female character, or just for the MTU exclusive ones? Asking because, you know, getting Sun Ren with Liu Bei always is quite tricky, even with dedicated mods.

I think it only work if it's a Legendary. I was able to get Sun Ren to work in a different play through. I was even able to do so with Lady Bian after beating Cao Cao as Lu Bu

Yep, I ended up verifying it in PFM. The event can trigger for:

Da Qiao
Diaochan
Empress He (though she's buggy in MTU atm)
Lady Bian
Cai Yan
Dong Peishan
Lady Du
Lady Feng
Lu Zheng
Hua Lanli
Ma Yunlu
Lady Mi
Sun Ren
Lady Trieu
Yijan Liting
Lady Wu
Yuan Anyang
Zheng Jiang
Lu Ji
Hou Jinting
Xiao Qiao

They obviously have to not be already married for the event to trigger. Not sure if it would still trigger when, for some reason, you ended up being a distant relative with one of them.

I tested it a bit more in the middle of a campaign using the Sandbox console to steal some waifus: everything worked fine, to the point I noticed you can receive multiple dilemmas in the same turn if, for any reason, you got several potential concubines at the same time. I even got to 4+ concubines while testing, so there doesn't seem to be a hard cap (but, as stated, Lady Du behaved strangely for me too, as she made me wait 25+ turns even though she didn't seem already married).

Another thing I'm still not sure how it works is about children: the game is supposed to set a max number of children (usually 4-5 tops, as each child lowers the chance to have more): if it's max per character then no matter how many concubines you get, you'll still be bound by that; if it's max per couple then perhaps the limit is bypassable with the concubine system (and the family tree might become unwieldly :P ).

If per chance you capture the [legendary] character and she's still married, you can simply have the character divorce and on the next turn the event will prompt for your character to marry her.

As far as children are concern, I once had more than 5 kids (not grown up yet). It's a ridiculous long horizontal line lol They all just shows under your character and whoever is the current concubine is though all of them come from different mothers. It's pretty insane at the late game where they all grew up and you suddenly have free generals

I'm, at the very least, having delays when it comes to one of the Qiao sisters (Xiao Qiao, I believe?) and Lady Du in Lu Bu's A World Betrayed campaign. That said, and sorry for adding this content on the wrong subject, but would anyone know how to make a mod that completes all of Lu Bu's Greatest Warriors achievements turn one? I know how to mod myself, but haven't had time to update my knowledge concerning 3Ks data files. Just wondering! Concerning Xiao Qiao's delay/unavailability, it could be either another mod I've been using, although I've also tried playing with only MTU and compatible mods. In order to get both of them early on, I've used Qiao sisters arrive, in addition to Zheng Jiang arrives (MTU compatible, of course).
Since the latest update, I think concubine event doesnt work anymore,can you guys resolve it?

The concubine event works for only Diaochan on the first turn during the 194 campaign. I use the "X arrives" mods to get the Qiao sisters early on, and it works for Da Qiao and not Xiao afterwards. Does not trigger the rest of the campaign after that for the other female generals.

Could be a compatibility issue with a mod called Guanxi Overhaul, which adds events based on relationships (likes and dislikes from traits).

Edit: Just tried MTU by itself with no other mods present during Lu Bu's 194 campaign. Works for Diaochan, though I never got the event trigger for Lady Du after 10 turns, could be the latest update causing issues too.
