BIRTH
Each married couple is checked to see if they produce a child in that Year Turn.
A result of 7 or higher produces a child.
The player may make up to two additional checks per couple, but each extra check reduces the wife's chance of surviving the year.
A character sheet is produced for each new child.
DEATH
A Survival check is made for each character. If the roll fails the character dies and is removed from the game.
Characters automatically survive to the age of 15.
Survival checks are modified by a character's Constitution.
Female characters who have taken extra birth rolls reduce their constitution by -1 per extra roll.
SUCCESSION
The order of Succession is as follows:
The eldest son then down through his family, boys and then girls;
The second son and down through his family - first the boys then the girls;
The third son, and so on;
The eldest daughter and down through the sons in her family, then the girls;
The second daughter, and so on.
