Can you expand more on how the number of lords impacts reproduction? Of all the things listed, the number of lords seems most likely related. Is it like once you cross a threshold on the number of lords in the clan then reproduction is turned off? My experience was that everything was going great for the clan, had many babies in the pipeline, then suddenly all reproduction ceased. All of the first generation and most of the 2nd generation are out of the picture now, but the clan is currently flush with lords from the earlier baby boom.
