Till what age will it be possible for kings to make children?

I'm asking because in Poland, Wladyslaw Jagiello (1351 - 1434) had his sons at very advanced age (he was about 73 years old when Wladyslaw Warnenczyk was born). ;)
 
Nothing tiny about that. :p

Bah, that's nothing. Some historical Kings even managed to sire a heir while commanding armies hundreds of miles from their home castle. :D

That would be a great random event to trigger if the Monarch was not in the home province . . . :)

But I ask seriously. Till what age will it be possible for kings to make children? I thnik that this is very important because of importance of heirs in CK. ;)

It might depend on the character's rpg-style stats . . .

Until they die. What would stop a man from being able to make children?

Unless he has divorce or his wife dies and he dosent remarry, should be able to make babies his whole life.

What if he can't 'raise the main sail' or 'get the car out of the garage'? Viagra is popular with older men for a reason . . . :D

I'm not expert in this part of medicine but I don't think that 90 years old man is able to make children. ;)

Of course he should be able to have children earlier but what if his first long-lived wife couldn't have children or had only daughters (I know it won't be always problem ;) ) and he's taking the second chance at the age of 80 years with next wife? :rofl:

So how it will be solved in CK (I hope that not every king will die before he finish seventy years :D )?

There were also certain suspicions about that as their mother had a certain... eh, reputation... ;) She has been accused of no less than 6 'adventures'...
 
Point taken fella's (not literaly I dont swing that way).

I think given the game time period that having a ruler last past 70 will be rare, so I dont think its impossible for him to keeping producing children until he dies given he has a spouse/mistress.

I swear I read somewhere that children come of age in this game, where by you can marry them off etc, so for argument sake lets say that age is 13, then if a ruler dies before thier kids reach 13 thats a quandry.

Biologically men are capable of having children their entire lives...there's no "clock ticking" like with women. Physically is a different matter, however...no Viagra back then. ;)

No, biologically men are theoretically able to have children their entire lives. As men grow older sperm production drops, sperm motility tends to drop with it, and the apendage delivering the sperm delivery also regularly...

Well, you get the idea. :) So whilst men are technically functioning reproductively on their death bed at 95, it's so mathmatically unlikely for them to be able to do so that it might as well be impossible.
 
Hopefully automatic!:eek:
 
I vote for it, too. :rofl:
