Marriage - what influences another faction to accept?

March 7, 2011 4:45:37 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi all,

I have seen a few topics complaining that another faction recommends marriage, and then declines the idea, saying they wont force anyone in their family to marry inside my sovereign's. Well, my question is, what exactly influences another faction to say yes to a marriage?

In my current game, I have most of the diplomacy techs, around 4k diplomatic capital, my military is more powerful than the other faction, economy better, population higher, etc. But they still reject me!

Can someone please offer some suggestions? I did a search but couldnt find anything useful.

Cheers!

Should be dependent on relations. In my experience at least neutrality / balanced relations needed to have them marry one one of their offspring off to yours. Same seems to be true for trade and technology treaties. There are a few ways to influence other factions to a positive attitude (like making a non-aggressive pact or other treaties). Could be wrong though on it being the only reason...

I think breast size is important.

Thanks for the only sensible reply here

Oddly, I have had decent relations, non-aggressive pact for 300+ turns, but I can never get better relations with that faction. I guess that has something to do with it. Cheers!

In some games, I have found (it seems) common goals seem to help.  Like being at war with the same enemy, etc.  I don't read computer code, so its merely an observation.

Often times a shotgun. 

 

 

For all seriousness, the fact that even in ancient times the elite would genetically pool almost exclusively with other elite, including those of foreign decent when options get limited, tells me something is faundamentally wrong with human nature.  Humanity if defined as a specis is especially required to maintain genetic diversity, far more than any other.
