Are you absolutely sure you need to be inside a fief to conceive a child? I think i remember my wife getting pregnant while waiting to assault a hideout or waiting somewhere to regain hp in the middle of nowhere. I think you need to be stationary and thats it. to be fair, im too lazy to test it though

That could turn into a interesting challenge. Companions/Family only, you are only allowed to have companions and family members in your own troop, no normal units.
I think there is a mod that speeds up the time it takes for kids to grow up - that would be a necessary mod for sure lol I had the game speed running at 200 and it still took me a couple hours just to do the final section! At normal speed it would have been many many hours.
Raising children to be OP is great. In my current campaign, I have about 6 kids, 3 of age. My party has my 2 sons and my second wife in it. One of my sons was raised to be a tactician, engineer and healer, the other to be a scout, crafter and trader. Holy shit having them in the party makes it so OP when combined with my guy's leadership. Phyrric victory? More like total victory after a day or so, siege? Those walls are down in a shockingly short amount of time, every time I go to town after a battle I bankrupt the city and craft all members of my clan unique god-tier weapons that themselves are worth more than entire cities. My third child of age is a daughter, she was raised to be a steward and was put in charge of my kingdoms capital (Ocs Hall) and by God she rakes in the cash.
@@lucaslove1216 how can you not, my character is 33 years old and I already have 10 or 12 Kids on my clan betwen 7 and 12, I get the feelings its going to be annoying after a while.
Excellent info as always man. Nothing better than taking the grandkids out for wholesome family activities like field battles and clearing out bandit hideouts.
_"With any luck, the mother will die in childbirth, so we can remarry and start pumpin out more babies."_ Damn, I gotta start wearing headphones watching these videos, I'm getting weird looks at the library.
i had 4 girls with one wife until she passed away from an untimly cavalery solo charge. i got 3 girls and one boy from my second wife. i married the girls away since i tried to conquer the whole world with a kingdom only consisting of companions made nobles. it worked and they reproduced quite well. so after 25 ingame years the companion clans were quite formidable. i once got my wife pregnant while waiting to raid a bandit hideout. i didnt know it was possible. good video as always
Lol ah yes the solo cavalry charge - probably got stopped by a looter with a pitch fork :P That's good to hear! I noticed the companion clans in my campaign weren't marrying unless I did it manually with family members. Good point, the game treats hideouts the same way as town/castle! You regen crafting stamina there as well, so not it all makes sense :)
@@Strat-Guides i learned from all the Media, thate stakeouts are pretty boring. So why not pass the time by strengthening your numbers. In my 1.8 campaign some of the companion Clans married other wifes. I dont know if they took the wifes from within the kingdom or from other kingdoms
Wait…that’s nuts. Didn’t know they counted as a town/village. That means you can get increased healing rate there as well? If so, it sounds like there is potential for some weird campaign tactics.
Such a good video showing that there's a totally different way to play the game at the kingdom and vassal stage! No longer do we need to rely on a dismal handful of companions to be our army on call!
Thank you! The whole family mechanic is pretty well fleshed out! My only complaint is the time it takes to get kids of age, but I guess during a longer campaign it would still work.
You're the funniest data analyst I've heard, plus I think Taleworlds should give you a payecheck. Everytime I get a bit bored of the game I watch some of your videos and I go back to it looking to try and apply the knowledge you blessed us with.
Thanks Ed! I appreciate that :) My wife tells me enough that I'm not funny so it's good to hear both sides haha I'm glad my videos are helpful! If you're getting bored, I'm working on a very unique type of campaign that I think a lot of people will really enjoy. Certainly not for the beginners, but for vets like us it should be fun. It's the Robin Hood modded hardcore campaign. Stay tuned for more info :D
@@Strat-Guides wives… bless them. they just don’t get it. I got double D’s in humour: Dirty and Dorky. My wife gets the first ones, but I fail to impress her with any from the second category. As for your upcoming work, I was already sold. Came across your channel a little while ago and now I watch a couple of your videos every evening after work. Very funny and relaxing. So looking forward to the new stuff. Hope your channel grows Strat, you deserve it.
These companion videos were extra dense which is why I split them up into 5 separate ones. Also most of the data is hosted on the discord server so feel free to hop on there if you want to get those, I like to use the filters and find exactly what I want.
Agreed, I feel like there are a couple things lacking when it comes to managing a clan. They have a good foundation, just needs a little more I think :)
In one of my current sandbox games I plan to have my female character run a "marriage scam" where I´ll marry vlandian nobels, sell off their stuff and then let them go on a very unenthusiastic walk into some enemy formation, so I can move on to the next. And I am thinking that once I become a vassal, I could call the ladys into armies to... create more single nobles. But I am basically starting off, so any advice on how to make that work out somewhat profitable?
I saw someone try that once. It went miserably because he didn't level charm and didn't do anything to raise relations with the clans he was trying to marry from. I hope you're good at jailbreaks ... I haven't played in 1.8 because my pc could barely handle bannerlord and couldn't get through a siege at all, but in the earlier versions jailbreaks were the very best way to win relations and gain charm, which both contribute to lowering the price clan leaders demand for marriages. You could even get them to pay you for it after a couple jailbreaks. If that still works, it can be ALL profit. And definitely make sure clan death is turned on and at the maximum rate. I played on the medium difficulty when I played and had a really hard time getting nobles to actually die when I wanted them to. Even with a javelin to the back of the head.
@@Nurk0m0rath Yeah, that mistake I am glad I didn´t make. Social is full and Charm has 5 focus points. Death is on "Realistic" aswell. Jailbreaks might be though right now. I am good enough at them, but right now the Vlandians just steamroll the Western Empire with three well coordinated armies and rarely loose. And wasn´t there a bug, that prevented lords from putting their captives into dungeons or was that fixed already?
@@Der_Eisenfresser I never saw that one, but I did say I haven't played the current patch. But if they never lose, the only other way I know to gain relations is gang busting. You get like 1 point of relations with whichever clan owns the town for each gang, iirc.
Hahaha sounds like something you would watch on a documentary - It's almost always the spouse that offs their husband/wife! Like 99% of the time :) That sounds like it would be very profitable - almost like a life insurance scam lol! As far as marrying a bunch of different people, it's easiest if you can raise relations with them beforehand. Releasing from battles, prison breaks, joining the same kingdom as them and voting with them, donating things, donating influence (there are a lot of ways to get it done !)
"With some luck, or some savescumming, our wife will die after the third child is born, so we can remarry and start pumping out new babies with a new wife" may be the best thing I have ever heard on the internet.
Lol thanks for watching! I actually had get up from my desk and go downstairs for a few minutes to clear up - I kept giggling every time I tried to record voice over. Rippin and tearin ftw
I've watched it almost 3 times and still don't understand a lot xD It seems that i have plenty of hours to learn what is going on with this game, thanks u for those videos and keep it up man
To be fair my guides are really dense so it's hard to get everything in one go :) I usually put time stamps to help speed things up so you can skip to the relevant stuff, can't recall if I made timestamps for this one or not. Thanks for watching!
Ended up marrying the high king of Battanias daughter very early on without realizing and got her pregnant. Ya boi boutta inherit the throne. This guide is perfect for my plans
Oh shit. Thanks for taking your time to even comment. I really appreciate this guide and the others you posted. I just got into bannerlord again after a long while and your channel has been super helpful.
For the sex of a child, I remember someone is Discord looking at the code saying it was 51% female and 49% male. I and others think this is off as I seem to get way more females than males.
Yeah I was getting a couple more girls than boys, but figured my data set was just too small to make a conclusion from it. I wouldn't doubt a bit a of TW maths going on here lol
Another excellent, essential video, love to see your channel growing!! Just wondering roughly how long irl it takes for one kid to reach adulthood. I find in my regular playthroughs i never really get far enough in that I’m worrying about my character aging out or seeing my kids become active
Thank you! I had to do a bit of research on this one because I don't often use family members. So I ran this at 200 speed and it took about 1.5 hours IRL without doing any battles or other activities that would slow time down. When I did my Prussian WC, it took about 16 years and I think the recordings altogether were about 50 hours or so? So my guess is somewhere in the range of 30 - 50 hours depending on how much time you wait around. That was a lot of sieges which take IRL time and 0 in game time so it was longer than normal.
Could a valid strategy be to just populate a kingdom, and have relatives field armies, or is there a limit/restriction. Right now it seems like you are capable of printing armies
Good question - so the clan can have as many nobles/companions as they want, but the number of armies allowed in the field is based on the clan rank. At clan tier 4 you cap out at 4 (our main party + 3 companion) and you get get +1 with leadership 250 perk. But once you reach the max party limit, those extra nobles just sit around or are used as a governor/captain/etc. Now if one of our parties get taken out and the noble captures, we could instantly start another party to replenish, even if the first noble is stuck in jail, so it's still nice to have extras.
Yeah that was pretty nice because you didn't have to wait. I think I prefer the way it is now though because even when you don't have fiefs you can still call people. I hate chasing companions after they get captured :(
I think it's worth testing if small clans have a bonus for having kids. Here's what happened in my game: I used my sister as a siege master, until my clan grew so much, I no longer cared about losing her, and had a character entirely focused on sieges. So eventually I pimped her out. What I didn't noticed at the time, was that my new brother-in-law was the last surviving member of his clan. My sister at the age of 32 when married,managed to deliver 6 KIDS!
Assuming normal playstyle, where you own multiple fiefs and have family members lead parties, how do you increase chances of having additional babies of your family members? If both a husband and wife are leading separate parties, is the chance to get a child very low? Should wives of party leaders be left as governors? Or just left without a role? Nice video btw.
If they are leading separate parties then I don't think it will work. They will have to be in the same fief just like you. I also believe if one is a governor it will still work when resting in the same town, but I don't think it works if they are both in the same army but separate parties. I don't see it in my notes, I might need to test that to say for sure though. Tough question! In my experience, keep them in your party until the wife is preggo, then let her go on her merry way. Once the kid pops out, recall her again and repeat :)
@@shrap8 Are they part of your clan or one of the AI clans? They are in your own clan then that would be interesting info. I need to do a bit more testing then, maybe the pregnancy is specifically different from the player and not just AI in other clans.
@@grandengineernathan If i recall, being in the same party, being placed in the tavern and governor will work. Do you know if leading a separate party but being in the same town will work? I forgot to test that scenario
@@Strat-Guides never push yourself to much about highs and lows. your content has always been great. hopefully my comment is not to anxiety-inducing about falling off. i did not mean it that way. just be yourself and it will be great 😁❤️
@@AdaLollA No you're good! I know what you mean. I've been in sales or self-employed for my entire professional life so I understand the grind and performing to earn a paycheck. It's certainly no different with TH-cam and I'm not bother by it anymore :) I learned from some people much smarter than me to only focus on the stuff I can control and never on the results. Results will come with enough effort and momentum!
Do we know that there are definitely only the two factors in pregnancy chance? My brother is married via a popup offer to a 22yo (at the time) that said they are compatible. I married strategically (she superficially said she wasn't attracted to me, I said it doesn't matter it's a marriage of alliance) to an 18yo. She also doesn't really like me (+4 relation). Both me and brother have Virile. And both wives were kept in party as we toured Calradia, only stopping in towns for smithing breaks. After 3 years, he'd spawned 4 kids, and my wife was finally pregnant for the first time. 10 years later, and I still only have the 1 heir. Wondering if it's purely them dice rolls hating me, or if I skewed the stats by marrying someone that doesn't wanna do the deed
0:08 I CAME HERE FOR BANNERLORD, NOT FOR LIFE COUNSELING (cries in the corner while watching the video...) 2:54 Tell that to my wife in my Empire campaign... i have 6 kids now... and only 1 nephew
Nice 6 kids is a lot! If you sit in town long enough it's certainly possible, I say 3 just based on the time it takes to get preggo - most people don't want to sit in town for months at a time. You've got some olympic swimmers haha
@@AzoiatheCobra I just sat in the desert with my wife, brother and his wife for a year and no pregnancy :( Both wives were 18 at the start. The only ones I'm aware of are towns, castles and bandit hideouts, but I will keep testing to see if I can find some others!
Some Interesting names for your next character: Johnny sins, The Baby Machine, Baby Spawner, The Birthinator, Spawn Point, Lotsa Babies, The Finisher, Cant Stop Pregging, Pregnator. Im laughing out so much 😂
NEVER EVER sell your spouse equipment. Some of it can be over 200K worth of Denars. Sometimes it's incredibly rare to spawn to even buy it. And most often,some weapons are unobtainable. There are some noble 1H weapons(swords specifically)that are so powerful,only through 200 smithing you might get a chance to have them.
Yeah they can have some really good gear! It can help to sell it in the early game if you need cash to get a kingdom going, but I think you're right that most of the time it's very useful to keep.
As you bring in other nobles into your family, also check what their civilian kit is. They break the rules often, and this can help for prison breaks later.
I think they changed it that each woman can only have up to 3 pregnancies. 6 kids with twins. Ill have 18 kids when me and my 2 bros are done having 6 kids each then I'm gonna sit AFK in town while I watch TV or something then start my kingdom when they grow up.
Good tip: keep your wife/husband's relationship high, the higher the relationship, the better chance of making a baby (or according to the wiki and Reddit).
From watching some of your vids (which are great), I've noticed that the PC version you play is significantly more expansive in most all areas versus the Xbox version... Do you have any resources on those differences? I've found it hard to translate some of the cool things you do on PC into my Xbox playthroughs. Things like posting dudes in my town after I clear out thugs, or even the tactical strats you do in big battles. Thanks!
Shame on me for taking TaleWorlds at their word on a forum post, I married Arwa as a Battanian and now all my heirs are Aserai culture. That will be fixed once Arwa has an unfortunate accident on the battlefield and I have to remarry to...cope. By the way, I haven't watched the video yet but here's a pro tip: Savescum the birth until you get a set of twins (ideally male). This would result in 6-8 male heirs per marriage per male clan member if you really want a massive clan fast. I think I will restart this playthrough now that I have a few tricks up my sleeve. (Did you know that you can train an army of recruits into max tier troops just by selling crafted Tier 4 iron greatswords to the town and using the money to buy all the shield/thrown weapons, and then discard them for XP with that perk? The "XP gained" will be red and list the total amount of XP needed to upgrade all your troops so use the "quick discard all" to see the total amount of XP you'll need and then put them all back in your inventory and start manually adding items until you reach that number. Its better to go a few hundred, or a couple thousand XP over because it doesn't seem to be 100% accurate, I don't think it counts the first troop in a stack. I use that technique to recoup my Fian Champions I lose as a mercenary since I can't "bank" my troops inside a fief, and my party size is much lower since I can't have an army of clan mates as a mercenary.)
Here's a question -- how do you marry off your family to specific characters? There is no way to force the lord to recommend a particular person, and they only recommend one of their clan, usually not the one I am looking for.
That's a good question, I don't know that there is a way to specifically select the other side. You usually get to pick only who is getting married from your side. Probably an oversight on their part because that seems like something you would want to control lol
Question about kids: how do traits work? As far as I've seen the son NEVER hinerits anything from the father PC while the daughter inherits all positive traits from mother NPC. The PC's brother, on the other hand, gives the son every trait he has. Am I missing something?
Hi Strat , the birds and bees event is NOT firing for me, both me and wife are in same town levelling our smiting , but she is not getting pregnant what am i doing wrong? How many days ii have to wait?
It's all RNG so if she's not getting pregnant then you just need to wait longer. Age, how many kids she already has, etc. will all make it so you have to wait longer
I had no idea I had to be in the same city. I tought marrying would be enough. And that baby's would pop out of nowhere just like the AI does. Does being in the same army count?
It specifically has to be in a fief - out on the map or in a village will not count either. Army won't count unless it's in a fief. Oddly enough, waiting in a bandit hideout does work lol
I learned the thing about losing male nobles if they marry a clan leader the hard way. Married Niasen off to a Khuzait, noticed he was missing from the clan about a month later. Lesson learned.
@@Strat-Guides also, thank you so much for all the hard work you do for the Bannerlord community, and for taking the time to respond to comments! Your videos are so helpful!
Something about enabled death always feels weird to me, the fact I have to part way with my character after all that investment.. But it does provide a lot of dynamic play. What would the pros/cons be for you personally, Strat Gaming?
I know exactly what you mean! It's frustrating, but it also adds a certain dynamic to the game that you just don't get with death off. There's a sense of urgency because you know time is running out and you'll have to start over when your heir takes over. The only pro I can think of to having death enabled (aside from personal preference like being fun) would be that you can kill of enemy nobles. You can execute them, they can die in battle or old age or they can die in a failed prison break. It will weaken a clan significantly if you kill too many of their nobles. I hope that helps!
@@Strat-Guides Appreciate the input, I wish they would allow for more tweaking in this Enable Death mode, because I am anticipating this game on the PS5. For example that your character cannot age/die but the rest of the world will conform to the ruleset, would have been a happy compromise for me.
@@nihilisticpoet they follow the same rules as companions so when they are in your party or running their own party, they will have a wage. If they are governor or set inside a fief to wait or as an ambassador, they will not cost anything. No problem at all!
I have found a bug in my game regarding marriage. I found a suitable spouse, did the two chit-chat bits, paid his clan leader and finally got married. However, when I look for my spouse in the clan tab, it says "holding" and "last seen at Marunath", but he is not in the city, neither in the keep nor in the tavern. I tried reloading and doing the process again and again, but the result is always the same: he basically disappears from the map. I can't find any recent post about this problem online. Does anyone know of a solution?
Yeah I've seen that before as well. As Gaphalor commented, the only way I'm aware of is assigning them as governor. Are you on 1.7.2 by chance? I'm not sure this is a thing anymore in 1.8.0. It would be good to know!
@@Strat-Guides Yes, I'm on 1.7.2 right now I tried assigning him as governor, but from the castle menu directly it says something along the line of "he is currently on a mission (which he is not) and cannot be assigned as governor", and from the fiefs menu he doesn't even show up as a choice (not really a problem, btw, this was meant to be mostly a murderhobo campaign)
Oh sorry, it's always the same choices each time so you can build them however you want. You get to pick a skill and an attribute most of the time and then you get a randomly assigned 3rd with each stage. Mostly you get to build them up when they turn 18 and the choices in the early stages aren't all that important compared to how big turning 18 is.
@@Strat-Guides Thanks for your detailed guides. It helps a lot to people we love to min and max characters. What would be more OP a child or a sandbox new character starting age 50?
@@Fernando-qk9fd Hm... I would have to compare them side by side, but my guess is probably child since you'll have more time to level up before death. Or maybe it's the same if you turn death off?
Get an 18 year old wife, charm perk for higher pregnancy chance and sit in a town until you have 7 kids. Literally do nothing else and wait for 10+ years
@@Strat-Guides I got it! I ended up just getting a wife, getting two babies and then be saddened when she “tragically” died during battle and unfortunately that happened to some of my other wives too. How curious? I guess I’m just bad luck!
Do the same "child making" rules apply to clan members? Like my brothers son and his wife? I got them both chilling in a city together, does that mean behbehs eventually?
It seems like the AI can get pregnant on their own telepathically lol I think that still holds for people in your own party too, but I need to run more tests. I'm pretty sure I saw this happen when I was testing though.
A sidenote. You can get triplets too. So I am sure that the rng rolls again when the child is born to determine if u have a second and again to have a 3rd.
It depends on what you need them to do, but I usually lean toward intelligence heavy so they can lead their own party. They can use all 3 skills if they do that, so you take advantage of the high attributes
@@Strat-Guides that’s what I was thinking. Also one other question. If you elevate a female to be a noble, and they get married, will they leave the clan and take the fief with them?
Technically in the medieval ages they didnt have to wait until 18. Its weird that we need to sacrifice realism because some laws have a problem with the ages of fictional game characters :D
Yeah I would like to see them being useful at a much sooner date. They could always disable marriage until they reach a certain age if that was the issue?

Wait…that’s nuts. Didn’t know they counted as a town/village. That means you can get increased healing rate there as well? If so, it sounds like there is potential for some weird campaign tactics.
Some "rush of the hunt" action at the end there huh.
Such a good video showing that there's a totally different way to play the game at the kingdom and vassal stage! No longer do we need to rely on a dismal handful of companions to be our army on call!
Thank you! The whole family mechanic is pretty well fleshed out! My only complaint is the time it takes to get kids of age, but I guess during a longer campaign it would still work.
The “don’t jump on a grenade” really got me 😂
For real Strat, hope you’re doing well and thank you for the work you put in and the laughs
Yeah jumping on grenades are cringe... jump on a bouncing betty for a gamer move
You're the funniest data analyst I've heard, plus I think Taleworlds should give you a payecheck. Everytime I get a bit bored of the game I watch some of your videos and I go back to it looking to try and apply the knowledge you blessed us with.
Thanks Ed! I appreciate that :) My wife tells me enough that I'm not funny so it's good to hear both sides haha
I'm glad my videos are helpful! If you're getting bored, I'm working on a very unique type of campaign that I think a lot of people will really enjoy. Certainly not for the beginners, but for vets like us it should be fun. It's the Robin Hood modded hardcore campaign. Stay tuned for more info :D
@@Strat-Guides wives… bless them. they just don’t get it. I got double D’s in humour: Dirty and Dorky. My wife gets the first ones, but I fail to impress her with any from the second category.
As for your upcoming work, I was already sold. Came across your channel a little while ago and now I watch a couple of your videos every evening after work. Very funny and relaxing. So looking forward to the new stuff.
Hope your channel grows Strat, you deserve it.
I can just imagine your wife passing by and overhear what you were talking when recording lmao.
Lol she was laughing hard at the rippin and the tearin guy! He's one of her favorites :)
I'm not sure if I should feel dissapointed or relieved to have no "birds and the bee" cutscene in bannerlord. oh dear strat give me your wisdom
Hahaha maybe they can add the two turtles from this video? That would be hilarious!
Great guide! Smithing with a wife in the settlement now makes sense. Two birds with one stone. 😂
Yeah that's true! Although arguably it shouldn't replenish stamina because... well you'll be expending a lot of energy haha
@@Strat-Guides LOL
Your tutorial videos are packed rich with information, it'll take me a while to digest this.
These companion videos were extra dense which is why I split them up into 5 separate ones. Also most of the data is hosted on the discord server so feel free to hop on there if you want to get those, I like to use the filters and find exactly what I want.
WOOOO YEAH! This is what I've been waiting for! Very awesome vid brother!
Thanks for watching! I'm going to start working on the final episode this week with a bunch of builds to try out :)
This feature would be really cool in an medieval conversion mod or the japan conversion mod. It would cool too be able to create your own dynasty.
Agreed, I feel like there are a couple things lacking when it comes to managing a clan. They have a good foundation, just needs a little more I think :)
In one of my current sandbox games I plan to have my female character run a "marriage scam" where I´ll marry vlandian nobels, sell off their stuff and then let them go on a very unenthusiastic walk into some enemy formation, so I can move on to the next.
And I am thinking that once I become a vassal, I could call the ladys into armies to... create more single nobles.
But I am basically starting off, so any advice on how to make that work out somewhat profitable?
chance to die in battle is really low, so it will be a tough grind for you
I saw someone try that once. It went miserably because he didn't level charm and didn't do anything to raise relations with the clans he was trying to marry from. I hope you're good at jailbreaks ... I haven't played in 1.8 because my pc could barely handle bannerlord and couldn't get through a siege at all, but in the earlier versions jailbreaks were the very best way to win relations and gain charm, which both contribute to lowering the price clan leaders demand for marriages. You could even get them to pay you for it after a couple jailbreaks. If that still works, it can be ALL profit.
And definitely make sure clan death is turned on and at the maximum rate. I played on the medium difficulty when I played and had a really hard time getting nobles to actually die when I wanted them to. Even with a javelin to the back of the head.
@@Nurk0m0rath Yeah, that mistake I am glad I didn´t make. Social is full and Charm has 5 focus points. Death is on "Realistic" aswell.
Jailbreaks might be though right now. I am good enough at them, but right now the Vlandians just steamroll the Western Empire with three well coordinated armies and rarely loose. And wasn´t there a bug, that prevented lords from putting their captives into dungeons or was that fixed already?
@@Der_Eisenfresser I never saw that one, but I did say I haven't played the current patch. But if they never lose, the only other way I know to gain relations is gang busting. You get like 1 point of relations with whichever clan owns the town for each gang, iirc.
Hahaha sounds like something you would watch on a documentary - It's almost always the spouse that offs their husband/wife! Like 99% of the time :)
That sounds like it would be very profitable - almost like a life insurance scam lol!
As far as marrying a bunch of different people, it's easiest if you can raise relations with them beforehand. Releasing from battles, prison breaks, joining the same kingdom as them and voting with them, donating things, donating influence (there are a lot of ways to get it done !)

For the sex of a child, I remember someone is Discord looking at the code saying it was 51% female and 49% male. I and others think this is off as I seem to get way more females than males.
Yeah I was getting a couple more girls than boys, but figured my data set was just too small to make a conclusion from it. I wouldn't doubt a bit a of TW maths going on here lol
Another excellent, essential video, love to see your channel growing!!
Just wondering roughly how long irl it takes for one kid to reach adulthood. I find in my regular playthroughs i never really get far enough in that I’m worrying about my character aging out or seeing my kids become active
Thank you! I had to do a bit of research on this one because I don't often use family members. So I ran this at 200 speed and it took about 1.5 hours IRL without doing any battles or other activities that would slow time down. When I did my Prussian WC, it took about 16 years and I think the recordings altogether were about 50 hours or so? So my guess is somewhere in the range of 30 - 50 hours depending on how much time you wait around. That was a lot of sieges which take IRL time and 0 in game time so it was longer than normal.
We will never forget Sir Humpsalot. He was indeed the most chungus of all chunguses to have ever lived.
Lol an absolute unit :D
Rippin and tearin man oh my. Strat are you my spirit bro? Lol
Lol that's what I'm talkin about... :D
Could a valid strategy be to just populate a kingdom, and have relatives field armies, or is there a limit/restriction. Right now it seems like you are capable of printing armies
Good question - so the clan can have as many nobles/companions as they want, but the number of armies allowed in the field is based on the clan rank. At clan tier 4 you cap out at 4 (our main party + 3 companion) and you get get +1 with leadership 250 perk. But once you reach the max party limit, those extra nobles just sit around or are used as a governor/captain/etc. Now if one of our parties get taken out and the noble captures, we could instantly start another party to replenish, even if the first noble is stuck in jail, so it's still nice to have extras.
Always a touchy subject ;) great vid!
Lol yeah it is! Thanks for watching :)
This game is underrated. Like bro this game is amazing.
In prev patches you could asign someone you want to include your party to a governor role, then he teleporst to a town or a castle.
Yeah that was pretty nice because you didn't have to wait. I think I prefer the way it is now though because even when you don't have fiefs you can still call people. I hate chasing companions after they get captured :(
I think it's worth testing if small clans have a bonus for having kids.
Here's what happened in my game:
I used my sister as a siege master, until my clan grew so much, I no longer cared about losing her, and had a character entirely focused on sieges. So eventually I pimped her out. What I didn't noticed at the time, was that my new brother-in-law was the last surviving member of his clan. My sister at the age of 32 when married,managed to deliver 6 KIDS!
Dude this was amazing, thank you for these videos
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the support and happy you enjoyed it :)
Assuming normal playstyle, where you own multiple fiefs and have family members lead parties, how do you increase chances of having additional babies of your family members? If both a husband and wife are leading separate parties, is the chance to get a child very low? Should wives of party leaders be left as governors? Or just left without a role? Nice video btw.
If they are leading separate parties then I don't think it will work. They will have to be in the same fief just like you. I also believe if one is a governor it will still work when resting in the same town, but I don't think it works if they are both in the same army but separate parties. I don't see it in my notes, I might need to test that to say for sure though. Tough question!
In my experience, keep them in your party until the wife is preggo, then let her go on her merry way. Once the kid pops out, recall her again and repeat :)
@@Strat-Guides I confirm that if one is the governor it works for making babies, it already happened in my latest campaign
@@Strat-Guides had Nathanos get his wife prego during a siege camp, and they bath were leading separate parties
@@shrap8 Are they part of your clan or one of the AI clans? They are in your own clan then that would be interesting info. I need to do a bit more testing then, maybe the pregnancy is specifically different from the player and not just AI in other clans.
@@grandengineernathan If i recall, being in the same party, being placed in the tavern and governor will work. Do you know if leading a separate party but being in the same town will work? I forgot to test that scenario

Hahaha TW we need incest, please! Literally unplayable :)
Do we know that there are definitely only the two factors in pregnancy chance? My brother is married via a popup offer to a 22yo (at the time) that said they are compatible. I married strategically (she superficially said she wasn't attracted to me, I said it doesn't matter it's a marriage of alliance) to an 18yo. She also doesn't really like me (+4 relation). Both me and brother have Virile. And both wives were kept in party as we toured Calradia, only stopping in towns for smithing breaks. After 3 years, he'd spawned 4 kids, and my wife was finally pregnant for the first time. 10 years later, and I still only have the 1 heir.
Wondering if it's purely them dice rolls hating me, or if I skewed the stats by marrying someone that doesn't wanna do the deed
Sir Humpsalot deserves our respects
And our women lol

NEVER EVER sell your spouse equipment.
Some of it can be over 200K worth of Denars.
Sometimes it's incredibly rare to spawn to even buy it.
And most often,some weapons are unobtainable.
There are some noble 1H weapons(swords specifically)that are so powerful,only through 200 smithing you might get a chance to have them.
Yeah they can have some really good gear! It can help to sell it in the early game if you need cash to get a kingdom going, but I think you're right that most of the time it's very useful to keep.
As you bring in other nobles into your family, also check what their civilian kit is. They break the rules often, and this can help for prison breaks later.
1:15 Being an overprotective father has his good sides :D
That's true lol anyone tries to take my daughter on a date, I open the door with my 2H axe to scare them off :)
I think they changed it that each woman can only have up to 3 pregnancies. 6 kids with twins. Ill have 18 kids when me and my 2 bros are done having 6 kids each then I'm gonna sit AFK in town while I watch TV or something then start my kingdom when they grow up.

Good tip: keep your wife/husband's relationship high, the higher the relationship, the better chance of making a baby (or according to the wiki and Reddit).
Interesting, I wonder if that's confirmed in the code? I'll have to try that out! I guess I just need to make sure the toilet seat is down lol
@@Strat-Guides toilet seat? 🤨
From watching some of your vids (which are great), I've noticed that the PC version you play is significantly more expansive in most all areas versus the Xbox version... Do you have any resources on those differences? I've found it hard to translate some of the cool things you do on PC into my Xbox playthroughs. Things like posting dudes in my town after I clear out thugs, or even the tactical strats you do in big battles. Thanks!
Good content bro learned and laugh a lot
Thanks for watching!!
Shame on me for taking TaleWorlds at their word on a forum post, I married Arwa as a Battanian and now all my heirs are Aserai culture. That will be fixed once Arwa has an unfortunate accident on the battlefield and I have to remarry to...cope.
By the way, I haven't watched the video yet but here's a pro tip: Savescum the birth until you get a set of twins (ideally male). This would result in 6-8 male heirs per marriage per male clan member if you really want a massive clan fast. I think I will restart this playthrough now that I have a few tricks up my sleeve. (Did you know that you can train an army of recruits into max tier troops just by selling crafted Tier 4 iron greatswords to the town and using the money to buy all the shield/thrown weapons, and then discard them for XP with that perk? The "XP gained" will be red and list the total amount of XP needed to upgrade all your troops so use the "quick discard all" to see the total amount of XP you'll need and then put them all back in your inventory and start manually adding items until you reach that number. Its better to go a few hundred, or a couple thousand XP over because it doesn't seem to be 100% accurate, I don't think it counts the first troop in a stack. I use that technique to recoup my Fian Champions I lose as a mercenary since I can't "bank" my troops inside a fief, and my party size is much lower since I can't have an army of clan mates as a mercenary.)
Here's a question -- how do you marry off your family to specific characters? There is no way to force the lord to recommend a particular person, and they only recommend one of their clan, usually not the one I am looking for.
That's a good question, I don't know that there is a way to specifically select the other side. You usually get to pick only who is getting married from your side. Probably an oversight on their part because that seems like something you would want to control lol
Question about kids: how do traits work? As far as I've seen the son NEVER hinerits anything from the father PC while the daughter inherits all positive traits from mother NPC.
The PC's brother, on the other hand, gives the son every trait he has.
Am I missing something?
your sense of humor is KABOOM..
Thanks Marksman! Lol I finally got my wife to laugh - she loves the "Hedo Rick" from the intro :)
Hi Strat , the birds and bees event is NOT firing for me, both me and wife are in same town levelling our smiting , but she is not getting pregnant what am i doing wrong?
How many days ii have to wait?
It's all RNG so if she's not getting pregnant then you just need to wait longer. Age, how many kids she already has, etc. will all make it so you have to wait longer
@@Strat-Guides Thanks for quick reply Strat!

I had no idea I had to be in the same city. I tought marrying would be enough. And that baby's would pop out of nowhere just like the AI does.
Does being in the same army count?
It specifically has to be in a fief - out on the map or in a village will not count either. Army won't count unless it's in a fief. Oddly enough, waiting in a bandit hideout does work lol

I learned the thing about losing male nobles if they marry a clan leader the hard way. Married Niasen off to a Khuzait, noticed he was missing from the clan about a month later. Lesson learned.
Ouch! At least you got good relations now lol

@@Strat-Guides also, thank you so much for all the hard work you do for the Bannerlord community, and for taking the time to respond to comments! Your videos are so helpful!
Something about enabled death always feels weird to me, the fact I have to part way with my character after all that investment.. But it does provide a lot of dynamic play.
What would the pros/cons be for you personally, Strat Gaming?
I know exactly what you mean! It's frustrating, but it also adds a certain dynamic to the game that you just don't get with death off. There's a sense of urgency because you know time is running out and you'll have to start over when your heir takes over.
The only pro I can think of to having death enabled (aside from personal preference like being fun) would be that you can kill of enemy nobles. You can execute them, they can die in battle or old age or they can die in a failed prison break. It will weaken a clan significantly if you kill too many of their nobles. I hope that helps!
@@Strat-Guides Appreciate the input, I wish they would allow for more tweaking in this Enable Death mode, because I am anticipating this game on the PS5.
For example that your character cannot age/die but the rest of the world will conform to the ruleset, would have been a happy compromise for me.
@@nihilisticpoet Yeah it would be nice to customize the options a bit more.
@@Strat-Guides Sorry to bother you yet again, but do family members require upkeep like in wage or only when they start their own party?
@@nihilisticpoet they follow the same rules as companions so when they are in your party or running their own party, they will have a wage. If they are governor or set inside a fief to wait or as an ambassador, they will not cost anything. No problem at all!
I have found a bug in my game regarding marriage. I found a suitable spouse, did the two chit-chat bits, paid his clan leader and finally got married. However, when I look for my spouse in the clan tab, it says "holding" and "last seen at Marunath", but he is not in the city, neither in the keep nor in the tavern. I tried reloading and doing the process again and again, but the result is always the same: he basically disappears from the map. I can't find any recent post about this problem online. Does anyone know of a solution?
try to assign her as governor, she somehow will appear, had the same problem!
Yeah I've seen that before as well. As Gaphalor commented, the only way I'm aware of is assigning them as governor. Are you on 1.7.2 by chance? I'm not sure this is a thing anymore in 1.8.0. It would be good to know!
@@Strat-Guides Yes, I'm on 1.7.2 right now
I tried assigning him as governor, but from the castle menu directly it says something along the line of "he is currently on a mission (which he is not) and cannot be assigned as governor", and from the fiefs menu he doesn't even show up as a choice
(not really a problem, btw, this was meant to be mostly a murderhobo campaign)
I was hoping you would explain how the children stats are assigned. like if it matters what the parents traits are.
Oh sorry, it's always the same choices each time so you can build them however you want. You get to pick a skill and an attribute most of the time and then you get a randomly assigned 3rd with each stage. Mostly you get to build them up when they turn 18 and the choices in the early stages aren't all that important compared to how big turning 18 is.
@@Strat-Guides Thanks for your detailed guides. It helps a lot to people we love to min and max characters. What would be more OP a child or a sandbox new character starting age 50?
@@Fernando-qk9fd Hm... I would have to compare them side by side, but my guess is probably child since you'll have more time to level up before death. Or maybe it's the same if you turn death off?
I know this is a late comment but how would one get the minor clan achievement (you need 7 kids) but the chances drastically decrease after 3 kids
Get an 18 year old wife, charm perk for higher pregnancy chance and sit in a town until you have 7 kids. Literally do nothing else and wait for 10+ years
@@Strat-Guides I got it! I ended up just getting a wife, getting two babies and then be saddened when she “tragically” died during battle and unfortunately that happened to some of my other wives too. How curious? I guess I’m just bad luck!
Do the same "child making" rules apply to clan members? Like my brothers son and his wife? I got them both chilling in a city together, does that mean behbehs eventually?
It seems like the AI can get pregnant on their own telepathically lol I think that still holds for people in your own party too, but I need to run more tests. I'm pretty sure I saw this happen when I was testing though.
@@Strat-Guides gotcha. And do I NEVER want to marry off female clan members?
A sidenote. You can get triplets too. So I am sure that the rng rolls again when the child is born to determine if u have a second and again to have a 3rd.
Hey Strat gaming, what are some good stat alignments to give kids? I am assuming focusing on social and intelligence to help their govern stats?
It depends on what you need them to do, but I usually lean toward intelligence heavy so they can lead their own party. They can use all 3 skills if they do that, so you take advantage of the high attributes
@@Strat-Guides that’s what I was thinking. Also one other question. If you elevate a female to be a noble, and they get married, will they leave the clan and take the fief with them?
Technically in the medieval ages they didnt have to wait until 18. Its weird that we need to sacrifice realism because some laws have a problem with the ages of fictional game characters :D
Yeah I would like to see them being useful at a much sooner date. They could always disable marriage until they reach a certain age if that was the issue?
