📋 About This Mod
This has been rebuilt from scratch. That means that this is not the old mod so stay on a previous version if you like.
What's it do?
1. Clans will generally marry within their own kingdom - the exception is ruling clans may look to neighbors to marry into to boost relations (which ups the probability the AI recruits that clan).
2. The AI marries more aggressively (slightly) but feels a sense of urgency for women over 30 and men over 40 who don't have kids.
3. AI clans whose leader only has daughters will marry the eldest daughter matrilineally. (This is especially nice if you play with my Succession mod.
4. Your siblings and children will let you know what they think of pending marriage proposals when you open them - in case you care if they are into the person or not - for all you RPers.
Anything on the roadmap?
I plan on adding a config before the DLC comes out.
