As to rules in how it would work, are you allowing anyone to marry anyone, or only male-female marriages? Can you have multiple partners in marriage, or just one? Are we allowing divorces or is it for life?


Guys, what if we made it so that players could choose what their family marriage views are during their first character creation the same way we choose what region our family is from? Here's the flow:


Choose a name for your family:
Select the following marriage beliefs your family holds: Traditional vs. Free Love? Divorces allowed? Can marry anyone or only those of equal/greater standing?


I think that giving the individual players critical choices like these is the right move bc not everything in this game is SMA and an unknown amount of players will feel very strongly about having their own choice. And, just like your family home, you can change the setting later and that change would be recorded in the family history.


Anyway, I am unfamiliar with the MF system. Is a dropdown-select process similar to the duel/trade system in BM? Just be in the same region as your intended, select them from the dropdown, and go? Anyone from families with incompatible values won't be available in the list.


btw...having a "Family Values" page might be pretty cool! It would be another instance of taking away from the wiki, but still.
