It occured to me that this probably needed to be it's own topic. Sorry folks.

Also in the family tree page - I've noticed that if you try to perform an option and don't have any family that fits the bill, you kinda get stuck on that screen. This happened on two occasions.
1. I tried to promote a family member to hero, but none were old enough. It would not let me do anything else in that screen until I advanced the years far enough to promote one kid to hero (when he was 18). After that, the Family screen worked normally.
2. I tried to have a child, but the only family member able to have children at the time had already performed an action. I couldn't 'reset' the Family screen no matter what I tried. As before, I tried advancing the game to the following year. At that point, my Matriarch was free to perform an action again but the still game would not allow me to do anything in that screen. It effectively ruined the whole game and I had to start over.
