How to Have Kids in Bannerlord

43

Ask any medieval lord or lady what their primary aspiration was,, and they will likely mention passing down their legacy through offspring as their primary goal. Bannerlord captures this sentiment with its succession mechanic, where your character can marry and have children that will take over after you die.

Spending Time With Your Spouse

One of the best ways to ensure your marriage will survive is to spend quality time with each other. Couples can quickly become consumed by daily life’s demands, which can cause their relationship to weaken over time. Furthermore, having children can increase pressures within marriage; finding time alone for each other should always be prioritized as part of maintaining it. Here are some ideas on how you can do just that!

Begin by setting aside time just for you both to spend together. Select a date and time that works for both of you, with no distractions present – this should not be used as an outlet for venting about work or discussing friendships; rather it should serve as an opportunity to discuss communication and your future goals for marriage.

If you have children, consider hiring a babysitter regularly to give yourself some alone time and enjoy quality time with your spouse. Alternatively, make new memories by swapping babysitting duties with another friend every week. Or try something adventurous like indoor skydiving, miniature golfing, or ice skating, which could create lasting memories!

The Final Words

A good lord or lady understands that producing an heir is the key to leaving their legacy intact. Whether this comes in the form of grandchildren, new partners, or their successor to the throne – having an heir is vital in any kingdom – though Bannerlord may not always provide the ideal environment to do it. Nonetheless, raising children here certainly has its own set of advantages!

Following romance and marriage, families begin to form. But raising children takes hard work, from feedings and bathing sessions to training them in combat training. And to do that successfully, you need a home that provides adequate protection against invasion and hostiles.

Your family’s castle or city should belong solely to you and not have any enemies on its map. Additionally, it must have an effective governor who can supply food and supplies while protecting it from invaders. So, if you’re serious about having children, now is the time to search for suitable accommodations!

Once you have found an appropriate castle or city to reside in, the next step should be seeing an eligible spouse and waiting. Your charm metric has some bearing on whether you will conceive children; miscarriage during pregnancy remains possible but is unlikely; nonetheless, 24% is your baseline chance of having children, no matter what tips and tricks are employed. Don’t rush things; enjoy every moment of romance until that magical day when your baby arrives! Remember, life is short – who wouldn’t want a chance at becoming a father or mother!?
