My character finally got married!

[ripple]

Can you believe that in a year of on-off Warbanding, none of my characters ever got married? I just had to share, because it was the hardest 'mission' I ever did. Took me three tries to finally make it happen. Each time I dashed to the location where the feast was held, it would either be over by the time I got there or the bride's father would be MIA.

I spent the better part of 350 days forging my own dynasty. After Swadia and Vaegir divided up Nord territories (until they were down to just two castles), and watching the Sarranids slowly swallow what once belonged to the Rhodoks (until they were down to one castle). I decided I finally had enough of this grave imbalance of power and attacked Curaw, making it my capital, then slowly expanding my holdings across Vaegir lands while showering the Sarranids, Nords, and Swadia with gifts to keep them appeased. Meanwhile, I began courting Lady Endegrid, daughter of Lord Turya, one of the first nobles of the realm to join my kingdom.

"But...you are a woman. How will we ever...produce an heir to your dynasty?" She asked me.

"Produce an heir? Do you see any other lords and ladies making babies? No my dear. We are in Calradia, where people don't age and all children come pre-packaged. Really."

No sooner had I convinced Lady Endegrid of my good intentions, did that shifty King Harlaus decide to betray me and declare war against my dynasty. Their ally, the Rhodoks, also followed suit. Next thing I know, my marshal, Lord Turya, went campaigning against them, all the while teasing me with feasts he could not attend or holding them when I was too far away from his castle. Finally, he was defeated in battle and had to escape to his home to recuperate! Never did I celebrate so greatly the defeat of my own marshal!

The gender toggle script. I would like to know your feedback and experience concerning that if you could please?

Pun intended?

I was married once....  She was very dull.  All she'd ever do was stand there.

Thank you, thank you, and my Lady Endegrid thanks you.

The gender toggle script. I would like to know your feedback and experience concerning that if you could please?

I installed the script after getting frustrated while trying to find a lord who was eligible for marriage. I only have a handful of lords in my faction, and only two are not married. Of the two, only one did not find my character too 'manly' for his taste, but he already had a love interest.

The gender toggle script works quite well. I toggled my character's gender to male and spoke to my faction marshal to get his permission to court his daughter (our relations were almost 80), and every time I visit Lady Endegrid, I use the toggle to set my character's gender to male in order to have the proper dialogue menu for getting our relations up. I would then toggle back to female when not doing anything courting related. Once you have everything ready and pay the dowry for the wedding, you don't need to do any more toggling. Once she becomes your wife, she will have the male spouse dialogue menu if your character is female, but she will not leave your faction capital and the feast option is there. Here is the gender toggle script by Somebody that goes into module_script.py. Stick it in the camp menu block.

      ("change",[(ge, "$cheat_mode", 1)],"{!}Cheat: i wanna be the {little girl/guy}.",
       [ (store_sub, "$character_gender", 1, "$character_gender"),
         (troop_set_type, "trp_player", "$character_gender"),
         (change_screen_return),
        ]
       ),

LOL Niko lets not do that, lest we incur some mod's ire and cop a javelin of warning in the face.

Oh thats a very naughty script you got there! I'm sooooo gonna do this!

There should totally be a Javelin of Warning in the game.  Man, I'd use that as a Nord warlord.  King Harlaus, you better yield Praven to me.  Oh yeah?  You get one Javelin of Warning, dude.  There it is, I throw my Javelin of Warning at you.  Ok, you've had it.  No?  Ok, here come the huscarls.
