If a woman takes a consort, her children will inherit all her bloodlines.
but only from fathers.Ĭonversely if it is matrilineal, then the bloodline can only normally be inherited by both sons and daughters, but only from mothers. If a bloodline is patrilineal, it can only normally be inherited by both sons and daughters. Which type of Inheritance is used generally depends on the gender of the founder of said bloodline, as it is believed certain type of blood is only "potent" in a certain gender. In the Bloodlines menu you can then click the blood icon next to the founder's portrait to pull up a menu with each living member holding that particular bloodline.īloodlines aren't truly genetic but rather reputation-based, as such depending on the type of bloodline in question it can be inherited patrilineally or matrilineally. From there you can pull up the Bloodlines menu by clicking the icon between the artifact Treasury and Great Works menus. Clicking on a bloodline will take you to the character profile of the bloodline's founder. The ledger includes a page detailing all bloodlines that have existed in the history of the current game, regardless of how they were formed, in order of most living descendants. First step is to find the bloodline that interests you. Whether or not a bloodline is passed on to descendants depends on two specific properties of the bloodline in question: Inheritance and Transfer. However, similar effects granted NOT by bloodlines should be handled separately and thus should “stack” with effects from bloodlines.įor example forged "Conqueror" bloodline's and warrior lodge "Raider" bloodline's artifact looting and prisoner capturing effects will not stack with each other, but they DO stack with similar effect from being a level 2+ member of a warrior lodge. Special effects are handled as flags by the game and having the same flag set multiple times doesn't do anything for you.
