*Spoilers* Wives/Children Bonuses

[travcm]

how long after you choose to have a child does it take for the child to be born? Is it triggered by day/night time or battles?

At what point is the child bonus determined (can you save/load right before the child is born to get optimal bonuses?)?

no it is't.
For each wife there is a pool of children.
The children you get are just randomly selected out of a pool.

is that the same for all items and artifacts that u can find and the bonus from alters (ie alter of combat either defence or attack)? its all pre determined as soon as u start a new game? It seems that way, ive reloaded a few times and its never changed. But it did change in the demo.

So if I get a child I don't like and reload to before I even married the girl, then my first child will still be exactly the same? Even if I marry a different wife?

Nope, as previously mentioned, each wife has their OWN pool of kids. Perhaps some are shared beteween wifes (Ti's Magic!).

The kids you get depend on the wife, if you were to reload and get a different wife, you'd get a different kid(Unless kids are indeed shared beteween wife's, then there's a chance to get the same kid...). However reloading and marrying the same wife, will give the same kid, even if you married another wife and had kids with her in beteween.

The randomness is a flaw at times, I like to be certain about stuff, and if something isn't the way I like it.. I reload and fix it.. This game simply doesn't allow that, which is really too bad.

is there a list of the kids possible per wife? I tried the frog girl in human form and ended up w/ the +8 scroll kid, which is just terrible.

Yeah, that's the list of possible kids which I already knew about; I'm wondering if someone has compiled a list of possible kids per wife, since each wife is limited to a pool of the possible children.

For example, "Mirabella can have Elly, Gendalf, Googlik, Anna, etc,...". There are 20 children, but the list for each wife might only be 8 or 10.
