Less Old Wives - AI Men Marry Younger Fertile Women

Imposes marriage opinion penalties and hard nerfs on older and infertile women. The AI will no longer marry their teenage heirs to 60 year old grannies. Fertility and age become top matchmaking criteria and the AI will search wider and deeper on the map for the right young woman to bear their legitimate children in the longest reproductive window.

Make marriage about procreation again. Turn the map into a sea of AI families and children; where once cougars prowled, spinsters jumped their looms, and gingerbread housed witches snatched heirs into candy cane cages, now you will have a game world full of productive families, fertility, children, and heirs for heirs.

The maximum age difference when betrothing child boys to adult women is reduced to 12 years. If you matchmake your daughters and other female courtiers before they turn 30 you will avoid age opinion penalties. Landed female rulers have longer, opinion penalties don't apply to them until they turn 36.

If you are an old forlorn lady who isn't cut out for the life of a mourning widow, and would rather a companionship marriage for alliances and stats buffs, then befriend or seduce the potential husband first to overcome the infertile opinion penalties.

The player will avoid some of the age penalties when marrying their own men to older women from other courts, you can make an intelligent decision as to what's best and the AI won't reject your proposals because their own women are older but still fertile. You will still suffer the age penalties when trying to marry off your own older women to AI men from other courts, and the hard infertility opinion nerfs remain the same for the player and the AI in both directions.

The AI will still occasionally marry young men to older women, although at much much reduced rates, through the marry own courtiers path that avoids the marriage opinion checks. A fix for this last loophole should come in a future update.

Female rulers can avoid the infertility opinion penalty by marrying friends and lovers, or making lovers and friends of those she wants to marry.

The impact of the mod will take fuller effect after a generation or two. On both game start dates there aren't as many young women compared to how many come into being through births during gameplay. For the first generation AI men will marry slightly older women on average than they will through the rest of your game, although almost all granny marriages will be avoided.

Overcome the early game woman drought with a new generate girls and maidens effect that you can toggle by game rule. Choose from:

• Generate four same dynasty and four non-dynasty, eight total, girls and maidens per court on game start.
  
• Generate eight non-dynasty girls and maidens per court on game start (DEFAULT).
  
• No extra girls or maidens on game start.

Important:
The new game rule must be set prior to clicking the "Play as any Ruler in 867/1066" button and generating the map & courts in order to take effect.

Complementary Mod

Counts and Dukes, and their unlanded children, will now have more babies. In a time of death by combat, disease, and maternal mortality, lineages at the feudal foundations will no longer be hamstrung by fertility nerfs. More babies means more future wives.
