There are more women and girls in the game because the mod also works on AI!
Intention: I wanted to have more historical realistic settings. The children reach the age of adulthood earlier. When children gets 13 the chance of reaching adulthood is 10% (every turn). The chance for a boy birth is now 50%. Even older men are still fertile, as are older women (decreasing with increasing age remains). The married couples can now have children distributed over many years. But many more children die at a very young age (0-7). New candidates are younger, not more than 30 years old.
In order to observe as many couples as possible and to get many results, I have played 3 campaigns the Geats (very big starting family). And I also tested with other campaigns and with the mods "Armenia: Between Two Worlds v.2." and "Niebelungen Beta – New Units & Buildings for Burgundians".
In my tests, the most fertile couple married at 17 and put 11 children in the world. Of these, 6 died before reaching adulthood. Significantly higher and lower infant mortality rates for the couples are common. Some couples don´t want many children. Everything is random! In exceptional cases, can also become a 14-year-old father or mother. All in all my mod seems very well balanced.
Attention: The family tree will grow bigger and wider. But you can deactivate the display of the dead. At the top left under Dominion the left of the two buttons (see also the first screen).
Should be compatible with Radious and other mods, also AoC. The mod changes one one table in DB. To have the effects disable other family tree mods.
