Yeah, Diana would be my choice if he opted for "nobility" but she has an agenda too, so.........but tempting.

Just take Flora, Kaylan, Eliana or even Dinah, don't need 'nobility', even Diana is ''just'' a merchant, the richest one, but still.

No, i don't want all...if i'd want that headache i could stay in the palace... Kaylan, Estrid, Flora and Eliana are enough for me, well and some visits from Anna.

1 problem with princesses is that they are widely known and if country gets conquered then conqueror might want to eliminate them.
How much choice is actually in the game? It has the VN tag, but do you have choices that actually have weight

Choices mean a lot in this one!. you can choose who to have in your harem and who to reject. You can choose who to make alliances with or piss them off. This Dev is actually one of the really good ones with his paths. Turn someone down, or add them to your harem and the path / dialogue matches it. Really bugs me when they don't (which happens a lot). Turn someone down and then tell them how hot they are and ask what color their panties are..... Anyway, yes choices mean a lot. You'll even get to choose who

Too many choices we have, Goddess Anna help us all.

nothing new, old aristocratic disgraced and impoverished blood hates the new rich!
thats because the race is on for the 1st born male child..
once she has secured her trump card...
its harem politics unleashed ...
heirs dyeing by several diferent accidents of all possible origins!
all wifable girls are running after that creampie even just concubine status
does not preclude a possible future king that can be controlled by his mother and her chosen councilors!
so once the girls get a boy you better watch your back,
they are gunning for your gonads to make sure there is no future rivals!
if you become too troublesome or too "virile" sporting children left and right
and dare to even legitimize one of them... fuck you´ll be dead before the next full moon!
by the way... once they have a boy or a fair assortment of girls it will be cucking season...
they will spend money blood and give up even their asses to anyone who might be useful in securing their heir or heiresses position...
you might even see alliances and promises of future incest...
the rich, the powerfull, the information and power brokers, the military mighty all will be running knackered
with all the proposals that your children mother will be making upon them
by either direct threat bribe sex blackmail or whatever it takes...
to indirect selling off your daughters for whatever support will be most useful to them in the end!
Besides for queen status only Astrid works!
the military might of the vikings will keep your northern enemies at bay!
one secure border... the west is clean its only Ocean unless the Aztecs come rowing up from the west...
the south is desert sand, small raiding groups but no large army is coming up from the south except perhaps from Egypt
but Egyptian Legions can also be used to secure half of your eastern border so a 2 in 1!
you might even get the britanian lands as a dowery i mean girl brides bring gifts,
so you will only need 1 legion for Britannia and a navy
then you can join all your nothern legions if need be
and ferry them beteween your gaulish, germanic or Arkanian border and the isles!
the secret to your success will be your eastern campaign, secure men weapons and especially money!
those regions are rich, with that money you can provide public works in the west to keep the western parts pacified!
pay for bribes, build a proper Ocean Atlantic navy and a Mediterranean navy to keep piracy down that increases trade and revenue!
only issue will be political stability, but a viking army is a pretty good deterrent to those military minded!
economically you can build your army rather quickly if you don´t over do it military and instead go for public works!
the greatest problem will be the assassination attempts, but a good solution is a purge now and then!
and keep your fucking MC in the field surrounded by his armies, nobody is touching him and if someone revolts...
you can react effectively and make a proper example! how brutal you are will determine the dissuasive aspect
how merciful you are will determine how loved you are which will accrue more resources for the future...
some of us like Politics!
i mean its the most pornographic aspect of life!

Ahhh a fellow history buff of the feudal and monarchial times.

Development of To Be A King is nearly always fun. Nearly. The last month or so has had me working on some of the things I find more boring and frustrating. This is the non-sexy side of adult game development, much like the cleanup crew on an adult film set, but I digress. Work continues with this, and I keep reminding myself it is necessary. The results will be very much worth the slog.
In happier news, I continue to get more comfortable in the new render engine. It feels like an old friend now (though an occasionally temperamental one). Renders get easier to crank out by the day, and that is a very good thing as I have around 2,000 or so for this next chapter.
I'm afraid this is one of the more boring development updates, as there isn't anything non-spoilery to show off, and the last few weeks have been the regular grind of development. While To Be A King's story is set and a fixed length now with a full outline and main branches, that doesn't make it any less daunting in scope. Curses on me loving large stories with a lot of choices. What's funny is that I spoke with another developer last week about doing something much smaller for next my game project. Then I looked at my story ideas board. I think I'm doomed to develop long narrative games, but first I've got to get this one to finish line.
Stay safe and healthy, and I'll be back in a few weeks with another update.
